There’s nothing a new mother likes more than being told how to please her husband – right?

“There are differences in the way men and women feel and think,” one flyer reads. “One of the reasons for this is the structural difference in the brains of men and women. It is known that men act based on theories, while women act based on emotions.”
Ew, it's the whole thing and not just a one sentence slip. Not surprising, but still disappointing. Being an angry asshole because of testosterone is still 100% acting on emotion and not logic.
- Japan isn’t the most egalitarian country.
  It’s a work in progress, but for example, groping and sexual harassment is common enough problem that there are gender segregated carriages on trains. Carriages for women only because men can’t behave.
husbands and new fathers like to be thanked for carrying out basic tasks such as washing the dishes, changing diapers, and holding their child.
Wives may irritate their husbands if they are “busy taking care of the baby and not doing chores” the flyer said, advising women not to “get frustrated for no reason.”
Kick that man baby out of you house lol
Idk, its Japan anyway, I'm not actually shocked by this
- Or the one where they sent a man to international conference on women's rights. Everyone else had appropriately sent a woman, so he was the only male there
  
  Yo really? Lmao.
Im pretty shure they would want to do that, but cant afford it...
is r/worldnews locked or down on Reddit? When I try to open doesn’t work. Still the best place for worldnews unfortunately.
- Couldn’t tell you; haven’t really touched Reddit since the original Blackout and haven’t missed it at all.
  If you want this community/magazine to be better, might I suggest you be the change you want to see and start posting articles and making comments on the topics being talked about? Active users make for active communities.
  
  Yeah I truly want to void Reddit completely but when I see the active user count here as sub 200 and then 32k on Reddit it’s tough to let go.
  Maybe I’ll start helping to increase the activity here. I love Lemmy/kbin but I just can’t let go yet!
- This seems off topic to the article. Maybe you want to make your own post.
  
  Yeah I know it was but I had no where else to find and ask I’m sorry. I’d really like to see this place not become toxic like Reddit…. But so far…
