Yeah, Japan’s stuck in the 50s when it comes to equality. I knew a female architect in her 50s who was still expected to make the tea for everyone in the office every morning.

The TV show Mad Men could be set in modern Japan.

I mean, when there’s a guest at the office, do any of the bloated, redundant salarymen jump up and offer to bring tea? No, they call for one of the busy female OLs to do it. So, on Valentine’s these OLs are supposed to bring chocolate for these lard-asses?!!

That being said, I didn’t get as much chocolate this year as I did in previous ones.

Kinda bummed…
