Abot Man and Woman

 The hot, hot summer has passed, and now the wind feels cold.

Winter is almost here and this year is about to end.

I am sorry I have not been able to post since summer.

I have been thinking about various things as the days passed by in an indifferent manner.

I was born in Japan, and Japanese culture and people's thoughts are what I consider "normal," and I sometimes get tired of them or feel aversion to them.

However, in this age of instantaneous information from around the world, I feel that I must be grateful to have been born in Japan or else I would be a fool.

Every country has good people and bad people.

Whether male or female, whatever religion they believe in, whether they are old or young, it is a common thread.

Does it depend on one's upbringing?

I don't think so.

Some people earn a lot of money, sleep in a warm bed, and eat delicious food, but they exploit others with impunity.

There are also people who can barely live for a day, who are punished daily by others for not being able to shelter from the wind and rain, but who still have a clean heart and do good deeds.

I think this is due in large part to the fact that Japan is an isolated country, with its own customs and traditions at the root, and no one to shake those customs and traditions.

Of course, even in Japan, there may be some differences in personality, thought, and facial features between hot and cold regions.

However, I do not think there is much difference in the ethical view of right and wrong.

I think this is a reflection of the fact that moral education and the principle that "mercy is not for the benefit of others" have permeated the Japanese culture from an early age.

The current working generation is exhausted by the repeated changes and deterioration of various things.

I believe that the inability to stop the declining birthrate is largely due to the heavy burden on women caused by the extremely low level of gender awareness.

Japanese women seem to have a deification of "mothers" that is more pronounced than in other countries.

A real woman is a woman who can endure all hardships with a smile on her face.

Nowadays, when women are becoming more independent and making their own choices, there is a growing consensus among women, including those who have experienced marriage before, that marriage is not necessarily a happy time in a woman's life.

In addition, women often have a fear of men because of their independence and the aversion to men (sexual harassment, power harassment, sexual abuse, etc.) they have harbored in the past.

In addition to the above-mentioned factors, there are many men who cannot marry because they are insecure about their salaries and lack self-confidence due to the worsening economy, which increases their dislike of women.

It seems that this trend is not confined to Japan.

There have been many incidents of "incel" incidents, which are caused by the feelings of resentment toward women that men who have become unwanted celibates can arouse.

It seems to be common all over the world that one of the factors that make men masculine is "being desired by women.

I am a woman, so I do not know how hard it is for men, but I have encountered many situations in my work that I think must be difficult for men.

I myself believe that there is no such thing as complete equality between men and women.

It is a well-known fact that men and women have different bodies, different ways of thinking, and different strengths and weaknesses.

I believe that this is the reason why it is important to coexist.

I sincerely hope that we can have a relationship of mutual respect and mutual assistance, rather than looking for each other's faults and picking on each other.
