Yeah this is 2017, there is no place for sexism, racism or any sort of caveman(or woman)-esque trifling bullshit like it. Japan needs to get their shit together and I imagine within the next couple of decades with all the social pressure they probably will.
In a way I almost wanted Hillary to win because it would have been amazing for equality; our first "black" president then immediately after we get our first female one. Unfortunately, the radical left just would not shut the fuck up with their bs and were getting on literally everyone's nerves. Hillary can thank them for the loss. Also, what an absolutely beautifully romantic story. Bless them both, I hope they have a wonderful marriage. --- MICHALECOLE owns my soul.

Why the fuck does Japan still have princesses and shit same reason England does. it's part of their culture. they don't actually have any power anymore. The royal family lost all official power at the end of WW2. but they already had lost it for practical purposes, even before that. during the war, the emperor was already a figure head, and the Japanese military was the real power. and in the feudal era even, it was the Shoguns that really wielded power. in truth, the emperors haven't had actual power in centuries. but they are powerful figureheads in Japanese culture, because in Shintoism, its believed that the Emperor is a direct descendant of the Sun Goddess ...

helIy posted...Mead posted...Why the fuck does Japan still have princesses and shit I've tried to explain the concept of royalty to Americans before and why those of us who have a monarch as head of state generally are happy with it, but I have since given up since there's apparently something that doesn't translate over into the American zeitgeist when it comes to monarchies. Shenti_Reborn posted... Japan needs to get their shit together and I imagine within the next couple of decades with all the social pressure they probably will. There hasn't been a lot of social pressure in Japan on this issue, as far as I'm aware, and Japan generally doesn't pay too much attention to social pressures from outside its own borders. Bear in mind that cultural harmony is one of the highest ideals of Japanese - and many other east-Asian - cultures, so there has to be a truly momentous shift in cultural opinion before anything changes. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
