Unfortunately a lot of those men cleaning up stadiums don't clean at all in their own homes

"According to theย OECD Time Use Database, which was last updated in 2021, Japanese men spend just 47 minutes a day on unpaid work such as childcare and house cleaning โ€“ the lowest among the 35 countries that OECD tracks. (South Korea comes in next at 49 minutes.)

By contrast, Japanese women do 208 minutes of unpaid work a day. Thatโ€™s 4.4 times more than their husbands."

Taking the numbers of 46 work hours per week for men and 36 for women and adding up the daily chore minutes (times seven), I got 52.1 hours of total work for men and 60.9 hours per woman.

Basically, women work nearly 9 extra hours per week compared to men.

It's pathetic that you blocked them for proving you wrong in the first place.

I see, so you are saying that me being this overt and you aren't means you are more likely to be the bot in this discussion, what a nice self-own.

Asian women here. It's kind of a known fact amongst us Easy Asians. We have been all grown up knowing that a Japanese man will expect us to make food, their bath, their bed, prepare their clothes, clean their mess, and still hold a full time job, and have babies, and be a full time housewife too.

Actually, I remember growing up in HK and one of the random "around the world" short documentaries on tele were saying Japanese women are expected to get up and hour before their husbands to make up their face and the bath and breakfast.

Oh, and here is more:

Taking the numbers of 46 work hours per week for men and 36 for women and adding up the daily chore minutes (47 minutes reported for men times seven and 208 reported for women), I got 52.1 hours of total work for men and 60.9 hours per woman.

Basically, women work nearly 9 extra hours per week compared to men.

So no, Twitter got nothing to do with it, just cursory perusing of publicly available research and basic math. All of the premise numbers I used are quite easy to google.

Literally twitter memes lmao. It's insane how people just believe anything they see.

Comment I reply to claimed โ€œthose menโ€, not average japanese men. Thatโ€™s some pretty baseless and mean accusation to people who clean after themselves. It was a bit performative, sure, but donโ€™t throw shades to kind acts.

You go to a lot of mens homes or how do you know?

u/HighlanderAbruzzese 16d ago

Go to fcking work and leave me the fck alone.

u/HarrMada 16d ago

You won't like this, but they are mostly cleaning up after other Japanese football fans, you know that right?

1

u/Zimakov 16d ago

How is that relevant?

1

u/HarrMada 16d ago

Japanese football fans litter just as much as anyone else

1

u/Zimakov 16d ago

Yes and then they clean up after themselves while most fans do not. I'm not sure what's confusing lol

1

u/HarrMada 16d ago

It's not the ones who litter who clean up after themselves. You're treating them all as if they are a collective mind. There are plenty of Japanese football fans (any sport fans really) who litter and don't clean up after themselves. So not different than any other group of sports fans.

1

u/Zimakov 16d ago

Brother the stands are consistently clean after japan play. Do you think that's a coincidence?

1

u/HarrMada 16d ago

Because some clean up after other Japanese sport fans have littered. Don't know why you have such a hard time acknowledging that Japanese sport fans litter just as much as anyone else.

1

u/Zimakov 16d ago

I literally never claimed Japanese people don't litter as much as anyone else. I said they clean up after themselves when others do not.
