I hope it was clear that I was being a bit facetious with that specific "misogyny" claim.

The problem with cheaper blades (and rubbers) isn't always how they play once, but whether they will remain consistent across different instances. Quality control for these things means that if you like it, you have no guarantee that the next person will like what you liked since the blade...

Feel better!

Yes, it is definitely rude to make fun of a woman's appearance in modern discourse, especially when a man does it, and so publicly too. Though I wonder what would have happened if an equally powerful woman was so rude. The things women use to describe other women's appearances make men look...

Again, the law has spoken - courts have made judgments. In favor of Chiang. I know the law means little to you in estimating moral standing but while I don't think it is perfect, I think it is important - I follow laws I do not like everyday. You keep writing like she hasn't been heard in court...

That is such a tasteless joke but the reactions have me laughing really hard. Harder than I have laughed in a while.

Yeah, some people seem to be hung up on the "villain" thing. Hence my post about clickbait titles. That said, I have no problem with someone taking sides in this based on what is publicly available. And don't get me wrong, may Ai made a mistake in marrying the guy, or even getting married at...

If what they are doing is violating their standing in court and in violation of a judge's orders, they are taking serious risks. That's the rational argument. You don't have to care about their honesty to know that.

Maybe because when there are three lawyers at a press conference, they know what they are doing when they are making something public and that nothing they did at the conference was in violation of the judge's order, which they were asked about at the press conference that you watched?

I wish. People still believe amazing things in the name of a purported fairness.

And her love for her son (which for some reason does not carry over to her daughter, whom she has left with the father) led her to keep him away from her father, which is how good and normal mothers act? The lengths to which people are going to white knight this lady are amazing.

Yeah, the two court rulings that order her to obey the joint custody should just be ignored because people who claim she is terribly wrong not to follow them don't have all the information. Good point.

This is not a chiquita but I thought it was worth illustrating the difference between a side underspin ball and a side topspin ball with a similar swing.

When I pointed out that the whole issue wasn't based exclusively on ERT's video, you pivoted to saying it was based on tabloids. And after I pointed out it wasn't just tabloids, you simply thanked me for clarifying my position. The point here is that these are substantive issues affecting...

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?
