so how come I'm hearing so much hand clutching and pear wringing about them atm?

Because the Japanese birth rate is so low that the country is in danger of going into a decline in a few generations if they don't start having more kids, not to mention the trouble that comes when you have too many old people in need of assistance and not enough young people to help them. Therefore, people who unilaterally declare that they aren't going to participate in anything that could lead to having more kids are a worrying thing to the Japanese government and society.

society kinda depends on men being men. a total rejection of the masculine leaves a void in society that is not easy to fill.

OMG you need some Gloria Steinem in your head right fucking now.

You're under the impression that men = masculine? How quaint!

Japan does not handle social change well. Western culture went through the same collective freakout as this back in the 1990s with the new man movement. Only we did it a bit less so because back then we were all too high on peace and relief after the end of the Cold War, and were also experiencing the Clinton economic boom, to freak out as much as Japan is.

All true, but this is not good change. This isn't something that should be supported, this is backwards and a little misogynistic. Men who choose to avoid forming any attachments to women like this is just another arm of social oppression to women. I don't like how you seem to be taking the side that the grass eaters are the good guys and it's just old farts who are too unprogressive to let change happen. Some change shouldn't be allowed, some change is bad.

Racist!Anon, hi. :)

I am lol-ing out loud by "men who aren't interested in having girlfriends are actually oppressing women", btw

You know what it makes me think of? It makes me think of a couple claims I've seen that gay men are misogynist because they don't want to fuck women.

I mean, you can be misogynist a lot of ways, but who you're attracted (which you cannot really control) to isn't one of them.

It reminds me of that whole "Refusing to have sex with a woman is rape because it violates her right to consent" bullshit that was doing the rounds last year.

....

Now I've seen everything.

Or to put it another way:

HAHA OH MY GOD

Whaaaaaaaaaaat.

I have to assume MRAs just discovered them and are angry that they're not manly enough?

Although really, this is a thing that has been happening since like 2007, so...

Oh, and also Japanese olds being olds want more babbies fromed (the same justification used for making it insanely difficult for women to obtain oral contraceptives), and the damn youth just isn't making it happen! Not that I blame them.
