여성에게 귀여움을 요구하는 문화


Asian women are infantilized. It's incredible how many 30-year-old women act like little princesses here in China, they wear babydoll dresses and carry around pacifiers and giggle behind their hands all the time. It didn't use to be this way, it's because of the Koreans and Taiwanese (who take their cues from the Japanese) that women think it's fashionable and "kawaii" to act like little girls.

There's a lot of sexualization of younger girls in Japan, hence the schoolgirl fetish. People in China don't talk about sex openly since we still value women's virginity and crap, but in reality we have massive issues with sex slavery and pedophilia. (Yes, we are a nation of repressed perverts.) When we praise a women's beauty, we say she is "delicate" in appearance, like a slender little girl. We are obsessed with fragility.

By pretending to be in pain, women make themselves more submissive and "childlike", as if the not-so-impressive penis were a LOT bigger than it actually is. The rape/domination fetish is huge in Asia, I have no idea why - it extends to gay relationships too and to women's fantasies about gay guys. (No kind of porn comes close to the rapity rape in yaoi and slash.)

Edit: I'll also note that this submission fantasy is primarily WOMEN's, not men's. When I was study Japanese culture at uni, we noted that "kawaii culture" was a way for women to refuse to grow up and become boring old housewives-cum-slaves to their husbands and mother-in-laws, the way anime/otaku culture allows men to cling on to their childhood fantasies. Because there is so much pressure to fulfill certain responsibilities in real world Japanese society, modern young women rebelled by throwing themselves into 'selfish' consumption rather than the production demanded by postwar Japan. Only young girls could have fun.

Chinese women are a little lighter on the real-world constraints, but there's the same sort of fantasy - to be young and rich and beautiful, to be wholly desired rather than forced to wait on others. A lot of these women who are running around with pacifiers and writing rape porn are wealthy, successful professionals (and probably quite feminist in sensibility). I guess in our eyes that fantasy can be immature, but it helps create a kind of psychological breathing room - "I'm not ready, I'm still a girl, I still want to be protected" - in a society that really demands of its women both independence and the shouldering of all the responsibilities of motherhood.

That's not to say that Asian women all embrace childishness rather than get forced into this narrow set of rules about what women should be like. One of the things that annoys me about my country (China) is how we're so desperate to copy each other. "The nail that stands up is the first hammered down." It's like we're afraid of being even slightly disadvantaged in our chase for success, so we do everything "right" in order to give ourselves the best chance, without regard to what success means. So you have to be ivory pale and underweight and obsessed with Gucci to nab a wealthy Shanghai banker? Every fucking women tries to lighten her skin and go on the boiled veggies diet. So a wealthy Shanghai banker has to have a model on his arm and drive a BMW? Every fucking banker buys a model for mistress and a fleet of BMWs.

If crying a lot in sex is what we're "supposed" to do, I'd guarantee everyone will do it even if they've only seen it off porn, and most of that porn has come from one country, and most of that porn in that one country has come from one stupid meme. Trends are unstoppable here. Even if they think a fantasy of submissiveness is stupid many women will still do it since they don't want to look unsophisticated.

박진영의 문제점은, 현역을 하려면 현역을 하던지 사장을 하면 사장만 하던지 둘중 하나를 선택해야하는데
두 마리 토끼를 다 잡으려고 한다는 점이다.

그리고 그 결과는...sigh...
