This took me 4 hours… that’s a lot of work. I can’t imagine doing that every day.

It’s essentially same as the trad wife content but whenever anything is Japanese it’s viewed as “dedication” and “devotion” when it’s so easy to tell why the trad wife trend is problematic.I’m with you 100% and I’m a Japanese woman💪

i felt this also when eating yakiniku while living in japan. me and another asian am femme would often be the ONLY non-men in the place! and we would get STARES. this was only a few years back

my mum used to pack me lunch with cut veggies. not in shapes just in bite size pieces. at a certain point she stopped because it was so much work. as an adult I completely understand now. could not imagine doing all that every single day and be judged if I didn't
Im nearing the end of my exchange year in Japan and all of the things I have experienced are making me rethink my future career plans bc living here for work and having a family seems exhausting idk

the idea that their mom needs to make delicious food AND make it cute 😭 my mom did not have the time or the energy for that she was working full time, so there’s this expectation of being a sahm or doing all the extra labor i think
It very much is a problem because like you said, parents pack less protein for girls meaning girls dont feel as full, women suffer from iron deficiency the most because of blood loss from periods and protein helps with that which also affects fatigue and concentration. Also a lack of protein causes slow growth, there is proof that during the first thousand years of the patriarchy, women's bones became more fragile and brittle than their female ancestors because of lack of nutrients being given to girls as they weren't seen as worthy because they were seen as less than men. TLDR: ingrained beliefs matter because they can literally affect your body and brain

Fathers aren't expected to do the same for their children, despite being parents too.
I don’t live in japan but my mom is Japanese and she has made many bentos when I was younger just for fun. She said it took so so long and she had to wake up early in the morning just to be able to make it. Not only that but you need lots of tools and gadgets to be able to make it as well. I cant imagine having to do it every morning for many months.. here is a bento she made before
