Gender stuff! 男女のいろいろ

This morning's Asahi news flash is that 40% of married couples polled speak to each other 30 minutes or less a day. Hmmmm....anyone see a connection here to the ongoing decrease in childbearing rates? Taken in light of the ongoing depopulation of Japan and its projected effects as well as the problems involved in getting children of international marriages recognized as legal family members, one wonders what the future may hold.

This article seems to suggest that for younger Japanese couples, bodily aesthetics are changing. Girls are getting more muscular and guys are going for "cute." Comments?
