I am a Canadian woman teaching English in Japan, and I was shocked by how patriarchal Japanese society is. Your story quoted a women's rights activist as saying, "Women must work twice as hard as men to advance their careers because of prejudices within Japanese companies ...

Maybe we were all being duped by the marketing geniuses who realized that our consumer generation would more easily take the bait on buying back our youth. But if this was the case, they probably should have thought twice before they bastardized the source of all our happiness.Forget models in magazines. If My Little Pony needed lipo and a nose job to be successful in the new millennium, we have got some serious image problems on our hands, and it’s not the only identity crisis circulating...
