Japan has been in the news recently inasmuch as tooth regeneration will become publicly available there in 2030. Japan is the home nation of the singer Piana. It is renowned for its teriyaki and sushi. Anyone who has traveled to Japan will have mostly good things to tell you about it. However, some people are claiming that there is a dark side to this nation that seldom ever gets discussed.
Herein we are going to explore that so-called dark side of Japan. I find a great amount of it to be exaggeration on the part of the people who whine about it.
1. An Oppressive Patriarchy In Japan?
I recently watched the video below, and I had some reservations as for the integrity and honesty of its contents. All right. I have seen the Charles Bronson film titled Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects, and I realize that there are certain practices that Japanese men may engage in their nation that would never go unpunished here in the United States. However, Emi Miyazaki makes Japan look like an oppressive patriarchy in her video below in spite of its modernity.
Emi Miyazaki Insists That Japan Is Better Off With 16 Rather Than 13 As Its Age Of Consent
I hate the word "incel," and I keep promising both myself and my readers that I will never use it or its likes again in any article of mine. However, I must make this one point about the video above. In Japan, their equivalent of an "incel" is a herbivore man.
The question that really presses upon me is that if Ms. Miyazaki is correct in everything she states in her video above about how she believes that Japan has been an oppressive patriarchy for a long time, then I need her to explain something to me. How is it that Japan has as many herbivore men as it does? I mean, if she is correct in her assertions about Japan, wouldn't every man there either have a girlfriend or wife of any age? You figure it out.
2. Japan's New Statutory Age Of Consent Of 16 As Opposed To Its Previous Age Of Consent Of 13
I must address the elephant in the room here. Ms. Miyazaki talks about how Japan is so much better off than it was previously now that its lawmakers raised its nationwide statutory age of consent from 13 years old to 16 years old back in 2023. I've watched other YouTube videos about this subject matter, and it appears that Japan never really had a solid statutory age of consent of 13 years old but rather that there were laws in each locality that set such an age higher that superseded the national laws regarding it.
Some YouTubers claimed that 13 years old was a Romeo-and-Juliet age of consent in Japan in which both parties had to be within a certain amount of age difference for the sexual intercourse to be legal if one of the sex partners was 13 or 14 years old. It's so difficult to get a straight answer to anything on the Internet.
Now, this issue has nothing to do with pedophilia despite what some trolls may believe, because we're not referring to prepubescent children but rather teenagers. Therefore, the main focus here is teenage sexuality rather than child molestation, and any pseudo-feminists out there can put your pedophile wands away.
For now, we need not concern ourselves with a paraphilia that was invented by a psycho-shrink, namely Dr. Richard von Krafft-Ebing, who, metaphorically speaking, went chasing naked 5-year-old boys around his house to defile them. He and his malarkey have nothing to do with the subject matter being discussed and described herein.
In any event, allow me to make this one point about the new statutory age of consent in Japan. Before any of you out there takes Ms. Miyazaki's word for it that Japan is so much better off with a statutory age of consent of 16 than 13, you should read the online publication titled The Paradox of Statutory Rape by Russell L. Christopher and Kathryn Hope Christopher from beginning to end. After doing so, you will clearly see that no lawmakers anywhere in the world should follow the so-called example of the United States in deciding the fate of their statutory ages of consent.
Higher statutory ages of consent don't necessarily make a better society. Feminist Heather Corinna has even warned against this same legislative course of action.
Here in the United States, you'll find that the very people legislating these puritanical laws, enforcing them, and promoting them are usually the same people who end up violating them. Don't ignore any stories you hear about FBI agents going down to Mexico to have sex with underage prostitutes. They're all true.
In the real world, teenage girls and adult men do fall in love with one another, eventually marry, and start a family. Higher statutory ages of consent force people in such scenarios into poverty.
Also, it's usually wealthy moguls from the prison-industrial complex that fund these campaigns to raise the statutory age of consent in any given jurisdiction so that they can acquire additional cheap labor. They couldn't care less about the welfare of their nation's youth.
High statutory ages of consent don't combat human trafficking. They fan the flames of the human-trafficking problem. Cheap labor is a form of human trafficking. Teenage girls are not necessarily better off in relationships with boys their own age as opposed to men outside their peer circles.
Now, I'm not disagreeing completely with Ms. Miyazaki that high statutory ages of consent offer some benefits to public safety. Way back in the day the United States had a serious problem with outlaw bikers kidnapping adolescent girls as young as 12 years old and turning them into baby machines. Lawmakers saw the advantage of sending these men to prison without any issue regarding the young victim's consent.
Outlaw bikers weren't afraid of prison back in those days, because they controlled the prison system back then. However, times have changed since then. Statutory-rape laws are constantly being misused to promote a Fascist totalitarian police state among Western nations. Ms. Miyazaki doesn't know what she's talking about.
Even those who oppose intimate relationships between teenage girls and adult men view changing the statutory age of consent as being futile. Watch the video below.
Draconian Sex Laws Are Not The Answer To Anything
The word "creep" and the likes has become a favorite term among misandrists. For obvious reasons, American statutory-rape laws are becoming more and more unpopular. It's interesting how so many American women will run their mouths about power imbalances in relationships between teenage girls and adult men, whereas these same women hypocritically don't seem to have any problem with hypergamy despite that it promotes power imbalances in relationships.
Now, some people may feel that because Japan's statutory age of consent was 13 years old for over a century, it somehow makes the laws pertaining to it archaic and antiquated. However, let's not forget that statutory-rape laws on their own are anachronisms. That is, they've been with us for hundreds of years.
I'm not saying that lawmakers around the world should turn the world into a playground for child rapists and child molesters who prey on prepubescent children younger than 11 years old, but no nation should be sending a 23-year-old man to prison for sharing his intimate feelings with his 17-year-old girlfriend.
3. Final Thoughts
There is already enough anti-American sentiment throughout the world. Americans themselves are leaving the United States permanently and giving up their U.S. citizenship. Isn't it time that our lawmakers and politicians stop exporting our intellectually bankrupt statutory-rape laws to other countries?
In metaphoric terms, self-proclaimed child advocates and men-hating pseudo-feminists wish to raise the worldwide statutory age of consent to 35 years old. Usually when prison populations grow too big in any nation, that nation is confronted with its downfall. This is what I see happening here in the United States. Other nations need to spare themselves of such indignities.
Japan is going to learn the hard way that a higher statutory age of consent is not going to improve their quality of life. Underage boys who rape adult women are going to scream "statutory rape" to weasel their way out of trouble with the law. Alisha Deans are going to start coming out of the woodwork there in Japan to send innocent men to prison.
Japan can only send itself on a downward trajectory with these new laws pertaining to their statutory age of consent of 16. They would have been better off sticking with the previous status quo. They will grow to regret this drastic change in their sex laws.
