Japan And Attitudes To Women

This is a continuation of my diary from my RTW trip from November 2003.

What does the following advert tell you about the role of women or the masculine view of women in modern Japan?

There is an add showing on CNN in Japanese.

It is selling a ‘learn English’ language course. The whole ad is in Japanese except for one phrase to demonstrate the listen and repeat aspect of the course. The phrase they demonstrate is:

Man – “What are your plans for today?”
Woman – “Today, I was planning to clean the bathroom and do the laundry”.
