The Japan Times

The idea of a husband working while supported by a full-time housewife, or the "Showa Model," continues on in Japanese society, with a survey showing women still do the lion's share of household chores. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/06/japan/japan-old-gender-roles/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #women039sissues #showa #wwii #reiwa #genderequality

Lingering ‘Showa Model’ gender roles keep women sidelined

The idea of husbands working while women stay home goes back to the prewar Civil Code, which stated that women were subordinates who required their husband’s permission to work.

WNBA Incidents Expose Misogyny in Sports Culture

As a coach, an uncle, and a son, I believe we must speak out against the normalization of misogyny. This is bigger than sports—it’s about the dignity and humanity of every woman.

Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

The women before us fought for the right to work not because labour is fun but because relying on men financially resulted in financial abuse & restricted women's freedom. No one hates labour more than me but putting my life in a man's hands sounds more daunting than a 9-5. — Vuyiswa @becca_mts The women before us fought for the right to work not because labour is fun but because relying on men financially resulted in financial abuse & restricted women's freedom.
