Definitely confused China’s one-child policy with Japan. I found a few articles that attributed Japan’s birthing issue with a lack of economic security. 40% of the Japanese workforce work irregularly meaning they don’t work for companies where they have stable jobs for their whole careers, and instead piece together temporary and part-time jobs with low salaries and no benefits. Since Japanese society still revolves around the idea of the man as the primary breadwinner, it makes sense that fewer and fewer men seek relationships/marriages if they know they don’t make enough money. Also, society doesn’t deem men with low-paying jobs as being “marriage quality.” The same can be said for parents of people working irregularly. Japanese parents are very much involved in their children’s relationships and their opinions carry a lot of weigh. There are other issues that also seem connected to economic insecurity.
Great show as usual y’all. Wish you guys sellout the show completely!
Hey Rod and Karen!
Just wanted to say congrats on the live show and love the new look of the website!

P.S. (in L3-37’s voice from Solo) SO GLAD I LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST!
I really wish that person hadn’t thrown water on Tammy Lawrence because now she gets to play martyr for the right. I wish it would have been a cup of piss. At least that way she’d actually have something to cry about. Fuck her.
Here for Captain America and Bucky Barnes as a couple!!! ***** Stars
I totally agree with GLAAD about more queer representation, especially as a queer POC. However, I really need them to stop throwing out Okoye out there, b/c she was never queer in the comics. They keep mixing her up with Ayo and Aneka.
It sounds like you’re referring to the One Child Policy in China when you’re talking about the population issues in Japan. In China they’re now having issues with the ratio of males to females because of the policy that just ended.
In Japan, the problem is that there are more old people than young and Japan’s population is getting too old to work. Japan is relying on an influx of foreigners to boost its workforce, basically. But they don’t like foreigners that much either, tbh.
People stay super in the closet here the most part for good reason. (I’m bisexual but you know how people assume everybody is straight, so they assume they’re talking to someone where it’s cool to bash gay people out of the blue for no reason at all. I work a job where people knowing I’m not straight might affect my paycheck at the end of the day. I can’t get fired for it, but I’m terrified for people in general to know about it. I already live paycheck to paycheck as it is, I can’t be out here making LESS.)
I almost cussed somebody out at work because he implied drag queens and trans women at Shinjuku Ni-chome (the gay hangout district in Tokyo) were going to attack him and have their way with him…because they looked at him >.>
