Is there no more predominance of men over women?!


It's beginning of the rainy season. How are you?
This month we hold "Bravissima! In Osaka" on June 13. It's a hurriedly planed event but I join too and hope that I could lots of people.
I, Micky, is writing this column this week about something I felt when I was watching TV.
These days people say that there can't be seen much predominance of men over women. Is that really so?

According to some market survey, 60% of women say that they were subjected to verbal violence from her boyfriend or husband. There are also women who are under direct violence. I was surprised to know there are women who recognize verbal violence. Because I think most of them didn't long time ago.

Verbal violence is as follows.
"Do you know who is making your living?"
"You are just a women"

Truly housewives don't earn money but to say "I (husband) am making your living" is wrong. Housekeeping should be equal to the work volume of manager of some prominent company. Housewives work 365 days with no rest and much overwork. There are off days at work but not at home. That can't be considered?

"I am making your living"
I feel sorry if they say this from their heart.

We, men or women, would better think again about our tender thought to our boyfriend and girlfriend. Husband used to be a boyfriend and wife a girlfriend.
Before take the one as woman or man, take him or her as one individual.

And it is bad manner of women to say "because I am a woman." Saying "It's female's virtue to bear off," of "Men are like children," women condescend themselves. And this kind of idea is taken over generation to generation among women.

If you think you never feel or think that way or say something like things above, please consider again. Are you having equal relationship with your husband or boyfriend? Are you just resisting verbal violence to hold down his love?

Please have confidence as one person, as one woman or man.
