It would be very hard to find a single society that isn't historically misogynistic by modern standards, even while accepting that Japan has resisted feminism more than other countries. And of course, I remember seeing a youtube video recently where the English menu of a Japanese restaurant had...

1. You can ask Takkyu what he meant if you both have the patience. I rephrase him because I think you are misrepresenting his position because he didn't express his full intent. Ask him if he would never support the woman in a case of divorce since he is a man. I am sure his answer would...

t I just watched the video, they translated into English. The problem, per ttmonster, is that any judgment against Fukuhara is misogyny so it doesn't matter. For people who want to know what the video said, they issued a rare temporary restraining order against Fukuhara in the Japanese...

1. No, not all reports in the popular press are from tabloid journalists. While those will often have juicier details, Ai is a big enough star that her issues are in the main press. As for siding with the man, Takkyu has given you a lot of the stories and issues that inform his position, you...

Each numbered response was targeted to a specific quote, I really don't have the time to argue over things when someone has already pointed out that what I say is "untenable". For example, you wrote: "This entire discussion is based on ERT's videos and tabloid journalism . ERT is the biggest...

Bringing up issues like this is misogyny. Warning you in advance. If a man did this, would you feel the same way?

Yes. A relative filed for divorce from her husband in the US and her husband in response filed for divorce in Nigeria. The choice of locations in both instances was clearly not an accident and was related to a property dispute.

Well, the point of entering a discussion is that one is willing to discuss and one can stop discussing at any time. Since you consider my position untenable when I find it far from so, then maybe my response in a forum like this one is more for anyone who wants to read. 1. Takkyu lives in...

I am not entirely sure Japan is unique in making women defacto bearers of custody rights, women usually have the advantage in such situations for a variety of reasons in US law, though some states are friendlier to fathers than others. But I have heard that usually, a lot of Japanese law/custom...

Stockholm syndrome is a well known abuse phenomenon. I will find some time to watch the video but one of my favorite books is Gavin De Becker's "The Gift of Fear".

He does need proof to say that people have made insinuations and passed judgment *without proof*. Just as you are making insinuations based on things that may or may not apply to this case. I have not watched the police cam video. But you pointed out that there were a lot of things that the...

When I got/gave coaching, it was usually once a week for just one hour, unless there was a training camp or something like that. That was how I sucked less, as well as playing matches. It was never train hardcore 6 hours a week, talk less of a day. What would happen was that the coach or...

So you have proof that the press reports are wrong? Care to share? I would have thought the press reports and the court judgment are enough for people to form a reasonable conclusion, just as we do in most spheres in life.

The reason Tony is asking is that it is rare for a coach to graduate a student so early unless the coach feels the student is not responding to coaching.

Thanks for posting, I thought your perspective that the Dima blade is not as innerforce as most innerforce blades was a perspective worth sharing, I actually considered recommending the Cybershape or Stiga Inspira as Koto innercarbon though not ALC. But in many ways the Cybershape is designed...

I get the issue now, people are looking at the clickbait title of the thread and getting riled up. Moral of the story - do not use clickbait titles to discuss complex issues even when celebrities are involved

Ah, life is interesting. Wise players everywhere think alike lol. But the very wise ones with good dumpling noodle prefer DS90. My brain has grown today. But seriously thanks for the story. Let's hope the drop in speed is significant enough to make a difference

Nah. We must respect ZJK's privacy. Or I guess it is only an issue when we are discussing the fairer sex...

Not knowing the inside story is often an excuse for not learning about what js available. We are now learning things about Japanese law and that there is usually no joint custody in Japan and women win most of the custody cases. So Ai might just be unhappy that she didnt get and win the case in...

The fact that Japan doesn't have joint custody based on what ttmonster shared is interesting. Whether it is the primary explanation of Ai's behavior is not clear. But ideally parents should act in the best interests of the child. Though what that is can be hard to define, maybe they should...
