      We’re gonna pay you to have kids that you’re going to be a complete stranger to because you work 16 hours a day

        Koreans will get put up in a luxury hotel for the first year after giving birth and they still won’t make’a da babies.

        But I suspect a lot of that is simply the cost of housing and the free time to meet people romantically. I honestly think the sex industry in these countries plays a role in it, too. When we’ve commodified the process of love making to the point that men just drive in to downtown with a bag of toiletries and a wad of cash to stand in line for the privilege of hooking up with a C-list social media starlet… And women just… what? Become prostitutes? Save themselves for marriage to a guy that fucks prostitutes? Enter the service sector and become the subject of endless sexual harassment to the point that they all gross you out as a gender?

        How the fuck does anyone in that country manage a romantic life under these conditions?

          Occupied Korea is far more of a shithole than Japan. There is no childhood there and people’s lives depends on one single exam and if they fail or get lower scores than it’s 16 hours workdays everyday. Why would anyone have kids when their life will only have suffering.
