Too true 😂

Well at least they aren't hypocrites. The men behind these fliers were acting on theories...too bad those theories are completely wrong XD

@@jins4200 I see where they were going🤣 truth is in the middle always

And clearly they also have not watched sports.

Right ? Like if a man takes care of his kids please call it parenting and normalize it so they also feel seen

Exactly! Additionally, men are pretty often applauded and considered ''super dads'' while all they do is bare minimum that ''regular moms'' do on daily basis.

As one who doesn't want children, you're right and I never stopped to think about that.

I saw an EP of a show once where the wife and husband were arguing and hesai "I babysit for free" and she roasted him with "it's not babysitting when it's your child". I almost died laughing b/c I couldn't believe how dumb that guy is. Hell idk if i'd even consider it babysitting if your parents or siblings watched the kids for a while, just seems like a family taking care of each other to me.

@@pat8618 while i 100% agree that doing the bare minimum is nothing to sneeze at, as the child of a deadbeat absent father, that has skewed the way that i look at fathers who ARE present in their child's life. usually when you hear "omg he's such a good dad taking care of his kid!" its because that person knows what its like all too well for a father to not give two flying fucks about their child. i experienced it first hand and i had to witness my god brother go through it his entire life too. I think the better way to approach it is to be happy that the father is present while also acknowledging that mothers are expected to do this regardless. i think you can still appreciate the fathers who do the right thing without dismissing the mothers who already do the right thing TLDR: praise both parents equally for being present in their child's life, because a lot of children in the world dont have EITHER parent. All children deserve parents but not all parents deserve children.

Mate, I had such bad back and stomach pain by the end I literally couldn't walk and at one point honestly considered crawling to the toilet instead 😅 give me all the massages!

Well there’s a reason why marriages are declining. Men are seen as an atm machine

It doesn't sound, it is like that. Even if is offensive. Many of my friends are salari man, and their core value is money for home. Just like that. Easy. Period. You can discuss whatever you want about this. But the fact is this.

Most marriages fail because of money problems.

​@Shockguey but that's not always true some marriages fail cause of sexism where the men provide all the time

@@LyraPyxisVT That's why I said "MOST" my guy.

Like all the mothers that have to work right after pregnancy if they want to be able to feed and house their babies?

​@@joiemonster4922that's a construct of capitalism and is honestly both detrimental and regressive.

@@joiemonster4922 a) I'm really confused by the combative tone of this reply. What in what I said is 'like all the [working] mothers'', and why would you think I think that that whole mess is good? b) As said, it's a fault of capitalism. Also, pretty unique to the US; there are only six other countries in the UN that don't have mandatory PTO for new parents, and they're pretty tiny. Nevermind lack of government aid and/or shaming for it across many countries.

This.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know and it makes older movies make more sense when mom / or relatives are around a lot.

Yep youngsters proving even older people can be emotionally reactive.

​@@theepicduck6922 I don't understand what this means. Everyone has thoughts and opinions on everything.

@@Shockguey It's that cultural belief in older generations where men not displaying their emotions is seen as a positive trait for men to strive towards. In actuality, really it's just boys and men being forced into suppressing all their unprocessed sadness and trauma - leaving anger and aggression as the only acceptable emotions for males to display. Living with that kind of mental state and bringing it home does not bode well to creating a happy home environment; to put it extremely mildly.

@watchingvids423 It's not culture. It's literally just testosterone. Transmen consistently report that they have less emotional fits after undergoing HRT. If you're a woman, I can't expect you to understand until you actually have it coursing through your veins. Even when I do give you credit, anger and aggression were also frowned upon. That's why we have laws about it. Furthermore, the current culture frowns upon men expressing frustration from lack of purpose anyway. What's that? Do you just want a home and a family to feel a sense of fulfillment? Well, tough shit, now don't get mad about it until you're so hopeless you start shopping for rope.

​@@ShockgueyIt's mostly culture. While testosterone changes something in the individual, a lot of the things we do is due to the fact that we've always seen everybody else doing that When you go to another country you see that people behave differently to different events. That's because the way we respond to our emotions is baked into our culture. In the US, smiling while walking is normal but in Russia you'll be considered stupid if you do that

cool now what's your excuse for the low native birth rates in the "progressive" West while Islamic countries have the highest?

​@@cottoncandykawaii2673The option to say no.

@@cottoncandykawaii2673 because many islamic women dont have the choice to not have babies

@@sianais They (Muslims) have a lot of kids in the liberal West too, it's because they have religion and community, same reason evangelical Christian have high birth rates in the US

@@cottoncandykawaii2673 Yea because even in other countries religious groups care more about there religious law . The women STILL have no option to say no. Yea there community plays a part A part of protecting abusers, a part where they help enforce such rules by pressure and threats

Yikes; those mothers are not only neglecting their daughters, but also setting up their sons for failure by raising their sons to have unrealistic expectations to living with literally anyone else - and not just their future lover. This mindset when it comes to raising the next generation is just detrimental for all of society in general. It probably also plays a factor (among many others) into why Japan's birthrate is declining.

What race r u?

That's every Asian household. They don't want to admit it but they still favour boys over girls. They allow boys to be boys and girls to act like 40 year olds

Also living and teaching in Japan with a Japanese wife and sons. Can confirm 100%.

​@@jordanbarton1624they might not have a future if things don't change well I guess in that way many countries are following.

I have been proud of this revelation and I continue to spout it....... *They just want a mommy they can fuck.* A mom is OBLIGATED to take care of their child. They are ALSO expected to take care of and tend the house. They are also supposed to be warm, loving, and nurturing. They cook, clean and are to do ALL of them above without complaint of hesitation because they are a mom. The men just also want her to play with their little peter weiner, pat their heads and stroke their belly when they want it. ALSO...........all without complaint or hesitation as well.

I think this was part of the original goal of the article. The constant burden of fathers is often ignored and the other smaller actions once they get home aren't deemed valuable or appreciated either, so it was intended more as, remember he is actually contributing so at least show appreciation when he can show up. The article could've very well also been written as a condemnation of mothers for not getting sucked into the abyss of Japanese Work Culture of essentially 14-18 hour days, not being able to see their families basically ever, and essentially hand their paycheck over to your more often at home spouse. The very unnuanced and aggressive look at it basically turned Joey sexist against men by insinuating and perpetuating Husband = ATM + Slave stereotype, which isn't healthy either. Balance is needed yes, but too often people ignore one side's contribution to the scale. I'm assuming the people who made this article originally used a stereotypical Japanese Corporate Employee as the imagery for the husband, what makes them want to come home from some ridiculous working conditions and be a part of the family if all the wife cares about is the paycheck and what burden can be taken off her, and even that isn't appreciated just expected. Do I think they should get home and not provide any relief for their wives, no, but also the wives not act in a way that would make them want to pick up overtime rather than going home to someone who gives off the impression that they're hated, resented, not wanted, and/or not appreciated. Saying thank you to someone for effectively doing normal or expected things isn't oppression like Joey is insinuating. Now just waiting for someone to call saying "Thanks for the meal, it was delicious" to their wives 1950s era Stockholm syndrome oppression of women.

​@@ckwi2245 What the hell did I just read? I think you're confused. The Shimiken video is on Joey's other channel, that's where you can drop your excrement. Best of luck!

I'm so glad the father is forced to take some (paid) parental leave here in Norway. Think it's 15 weeks for the dad alone and then 16 week together (the mother gets more than 15 alone)

@@ckwi2245 ah you're part of the problem...

I think that's a good point, pregnancy and birth is hard on dads too, but there was definitely a better way of doing this 😅

In the same flyer it says why men don't want to have kids , their only purpose is impregnating and working.

Just to be sure, are western women have children?

It's men that control access to marriage and having children. Without men, women have self marriages and adopt dogs that will die in 10 to 12 years.

Blame it on them video games

Japan being part of their own problem for their falling birth and marriage rate is wild. They really love to self-sabotage themselves. They cry on one had about the birth rate dropping then on the other are the most misogynistic women hating country in the first world.

If your wife isn’t gonna take care of you then why did you marry a person that doesn’t care for you?

🤣😂

The countries with the most "sexism" have the most children. The countries with the most feminism have the least amount of children.

@notuxnobux Pretty sure child-bearing is more-so correlated with a country’s standard of living. People in countries with a high standard of living aren’t required to have children in order to keep themselves afloat economically. They don’t need a child to take care of them once they’re old. Most people don’t want a bunch of kids (responsibility) and some people don’t want kids at all. Not to mention that people conceive later in life nowadays thanks to birth-control and increased awareness/knowledge surrounding sex and the responsibilities/costs involved in having children. All of which slows the rate of birth. A reason why certain (sexist) societies/communities tend to birth more children may also be rooted in religion or a lack of knowledge. The Amish for example have a ton of kids due to both factors. Basically what I’m trying to say is that a lower birthrate isn’t inherently indicative of dissatisfaction, nor is a higher birthrate inherently indicative of higher levels of satisfaction/happiness. It’s all a “case by case basis” kind of deal.

@@notuxnobux The poorer the county economically, the more children they produce. You would think it would be the opposite, but it's like hotakatsu said, child production is heavily correlated to a country's standard of living. Heck, here in the US, poor folks reproduce like rabbits, while rich folks have one kid (per mistress if they're a man) and a few adopted ethnic children from Africa or Asia. That just seems to be the unfortunate pattern of things. Fact is stranger than fiction.

​@@DavidWiseFAN199it is because of lower education as well. Areas with less sex education like have much more teen pregnancies because abstinence or nothing is the "sex education". Even both parents discussing things properly with their child lowers the unintended pregnancies. It's also not usually a child by a mistress, if they were cheating the time of having a kid is not intentional and not a couple based option. If they are rich and want a kid later, women will usually freeze their eggs and or use IVF or other fertility options.

Oh same! For as long as I can remember my mom was the main bread winner. It baffles me too

A little bit isn't.

The Sonic pfp is the icing on top

@@NoName-tr3vs Yeah forcing yourself to smile sure is great. Always be happy. No other emotions are acceptable. Shove them down and smother them. Don't let anyone think you're human instead of a smiling robot.

Smiling is a typical japanese sort of politeness though. It cheers other people up. Divorced from how sexist It's context is here you shouldn't disregard it.

Yeah, this video is pretty misleading. I know Joey's frustrated with Japan, but he should make more unbiased videos.

Tbh I don't blame him. It's pretty clear that the writer of the article either didn't know or decided not to talk about the other half of the situation. I'd be surprised if any article was written about the other half, really. In which case it really can't be blamed on the readers.

@@asdfghjjhgfI don't think anyone should be unbiased to mysogynism. It just has to be called out.

True, overworking to death is a HUGE problem in Japan, which leads to them always too tired to repopulate the country.

For some reason everybody is just fucked at this point. Expected to only care for the child and not being able to balance it with a career or just getting overworked to death.

That's the problem with not thinking when dealing with complex issues. Everyone wants to jump on the easy take for these kinds of things when they aren't as simple as "that's sexist!"

While i think they could have done better by giving coverage to both sides. It is still a common thing, a bad one, but common, to talk about an specific issue in a post or online article without doing a deep dive, more often in journalism where timing matters. You encounter this more often if you are into academia and see journalists butcher studies to convey a narrative or just have a catchy tittle, science communication is hard. I think we can care about all situations at the same time and saying "This is super important, this is a big issue" does not mean others are less.

From what I see, the office culture is slowly changing in Japan where there is more of a work life balance. Long hours in the office are horrible for the workers mental health. I worked for a Japanese company near Seattle and they did the long hours thing, the pay sucked, I did get a lot of OT, I slept through most of the weekends, and I was so happy when I quit. If the work life balance issue changes in Japan then I think that will be a huge improvement and people will have more time to be with their spouse, help out around their home, and have kids.

how is this statement going to affect the population? it's declining anyways, just because some random town says that women should care more for their men does not mean that it will decline even faster lol.

There is a direct correlation between feminism and birth rates. The countries where feminism is the norm is also the countries where people have the least amount of children.

why aren't liberal Western countries breeding then?
