Rest of your article
> > In my case feminimity in a woman is the most important criteria. > > What is this, a science experiment? > Criteria, geez... > I feel sorry for the woman who married a guy who had a list. God help her if she betrays the list and changes. > Oh well, you can always replace her. > > > - They wear skirts/dresses as often if not more often than pants and even when its cold. > > Do you not see how pathetic that is, what you just said? Why don't you try freezing your ass off in a short skirt when it's cold? > > > - They let men show a little chivalry. (such as carrying heavy objects and reaching high places) > > - They try not to develop muscles when working out (physical strength = masculine) > > These points reveal more about your own insecurities around gender issues than anything about Japanese people! > > > - They actually wear make up and do their hair.(I know so many women in Canada in desperate need of both) > > Well, a lot of people could use some beautifying, but this is all according to cultural standards, right? > > IMO, the standard of style in Japan - for *both* men and women - is more sophisticated in general. But I wouldn't say it has anything to do with femininity. (To a lot of westerners, straight Japanese men seem "gay". Yes, they too would seem to embody many so-called feminine attributes - covering the mouth while laughing, proudly toting their man-purses, etc. But that's a topic for a different discussion.) > > For every feminine chick who embodies the true look of Japan for you, there's another one who looks just as stylin and hot, who meets none of the criteria on your list. > > It takes a long time, waking up extra early etc to make yourself look like that! Not to mention the $$ spent on clothes and grooming! > > But seriously, how about the Canadian men?? Do you do your hair and makeup? Have great style? If you do, you are a very rare specimen and I salute you, sir! > > > - They have more shoes in their collection than just a pair of worn out nikes. > > Salaries are also better in Japan in general. Women's shoes are really expensive, you know. > > > and the list goes on... > > No doubt... > > > Now of course I am making generalizations here. There are of course feminine women in Canada. > > The rest can go to hell, they obviously have have no reason to exist. > > Damn your bare, hideous unmade up faces and your worn out shoes- take those unfeminine muscles and get away from me, you worthless hag! > > And stop that unsightly aging process! (OK, that was actually from a different man's post) > > >Japanese woman are also very fit as a whole when compared to Canadian women. > > I agree with you here, the Japanese diet is healthier as a whole, aesthetically benefitting both men and women. Too bad North Americans don't have a better grasp of nutrition. > > > I sometimes get my friends to send me video tapes of shows aired in Canada that aren't available here in Japan and when I see the commercials with women it's kind of a culture shock to me and my wife. Not that they are ugly or anthing. But these women aren't exactly TV material either and they don't wear make up and they only wear baggy pants yada yada... > > Mainstream Canadian style for both men and women is frumpy in general though- come on, it's not a gender thing! Can't even count the times that I have had to endure the parade of naked, hairy Canadian men's legs in pleated-front, above the knee baggy shorts, and sandals with socks. > > And Canadian TV reflects this frumpiness tenfold! Unfortunately, Canada is well known for this -_-;; > > > I don't caste people into groups other than by their spirit/level of their contribution. > > Except for that list you just wrote? > > I hope the men reading these columns realize that 99.9% of the so-called subservient J girls aren't really like that- I mean, you don't totally fall for that, right? > > I have a lot of Japanese girl friends and believe me, it's an act. They do not think you're such a prize. How long the act goes on depends on how long it takes them to get bored with your honkey ass. (Or when your money runs out) Enjoy it while you can. > > There may very well be Japanese women who do embody these elements of submissiveness that the self-centred, insecure, racial profiler "Rice King" is looking for so desperately. But it's a hell of a lot rarer than you think, and you will never know the difference just by appearances. > > Just so you know, guys. > > This has been a public service announcement.
