Japanese women push back against Valentine's tradition of 'obligation chocolate'

[tankbug]

I could go for some chocolate.

We have secretary day where we buy the office ladies stuff. And I think there's a boss day but that's ignored.

Do you have special days were you're supposed to buy coworkers stuff?

Nope.
Btw. "Secretary day" sounds demeaning.

[Shuji V2]

Jesus Christ, the article is full of shit. Looking at who the OP is, that is to be expected.
This isn't much if any of an issue in Japan at all, especially considering we have white day which is a month after returning the favor, but just another article to spread hateful lies about how backwards Japanese society supposedly is.

Can we also ban office baby showers?

No, you can't have $20 just because someone got pregnant....

Those are the worst. Idk abt you, but where I come from only women go to them. My sister had one so I took her husband out shooting. But my office decided to throw one for a coworker and we were all forced to go. It was just all the women squealing over baby outfits. 1 hour of my life I wont get back

[Miyagie]

Oh no i have to bake some cookies and get on white day a desk full of sweets back beeing a women is so hard #metoo

[derpkitteh]

i don't like the idea of it being obligatory.

just allow people to trade gifts if they want to.

This is one reason why I will never be a sexist feminist. Of course, I won't be a sexist misogynist either. I am an egalitarian.

You should aspire to be a sexist egalitarian!

Sometimes I wonder if the nuclear fallout affected these people too much when I see their music.

[Sky High]

I mean, yeah, fuck those bullshit "arbitrarily obligated to throw my money away" traditions. but of course that is seen as some sort of stunt by the "I'm not offended even though I'm acting offended" crowd on the internet.

[Enthusiastic Steward]

but ppl in the know call it steak and bj day.

It's actually spelled "Thursday".

[Nathreim]

People here that are mad need to read some manga and shut the fuck up about traditions they dont understand.

100 yen is about an American dollar, fyi. So 1,000 yen is a hundred bucks.

Hmmm?

If 100 yen is 1 USD, wouldn't 1,000 yen = 10 USD?

[valax]

Japanese women love Chocolate.

man , that's a creepy show

wow really???

[Azelas]

how the fuck people can defend having to be obligated to give other people chocolate for some fucking reason is beyond me.

Do whatever the fuck you want, you shouldn't be obligated to do shit other than do your work.

well it seems in this thread anyway if women don't want to do something it's that dastardly western feminism about to ruin yet another society.

I don't think that's possible
