February 14, 2011 at 7:43 AMAh that's definitely part of what I was trying to explore, through my thread with the unfortunate byproducts. In your observation the women are different. I'm still interested in hearing from a female resident (you're a man, right ejrunge?) of SH who takes crowded subways regularly, but thanks for your input.

February 14, 2011 at 7:36 AMIf anyone is really averse to "missing out", what they could do is stay up 24/7 and keep their eyes glued to the computer / cel phone. Or pay a team of people, to do that for them.
I would not support the scrapping of Qing Wen for any reason Paul, hopefully I'm part of the majority opinion here.

February 14, 2011 at 6:39 AMHi Chris, other poddies have also asked me about Changye, but since a long PM from him several weeks after his account here ran out at the end of August last year, I've PMd him a few times and not heard back. We haven't exchanged email addresses. Too bad for me I've lost contact with him (still hope he's at least reading PMs though).
I've already said this many times, but I miss Changye a lot, and think the site lost value when he left. Here's a post Xiaophil made in October:

I've also PMd you.

February 13, 2011 at 8:11 AMThanks for the follow-up Tingyun. So I guess technically, with the means in reproductive medicine we have now it could be possible, for a woman with this condition to have a baby (by ceasarean delivery).
We still don't know anything about the famous story I guess.
Guess I'll ask a teacher when I get the chance, if they understand 石女 in the same way we do in Japanese at all, or if my C-J dictionary really needs to be set straight there.

February 13, 2011 at 7:10 AMSorry for the trouble John. And apologies to everyone, it was bad judgment on my part, to start this discussion here.

February 12, 2011 at 6:42 PMNo. Unfortunately you're quite likely to be groped (or otherwise assaulted) on a crowded train in Japan. If you're female and younger than 25. *hangs head again* And I'm saying I don't have knowledge of how uncommon / common it is in other countries.
The problem here is so serious it's taken another turn. There are innocent men just trying to get to work in a crowded train, being wrongly accused of groping. Prosecutors taking cases against them to court usually based on no evidence, only on the accuser's word, the accuser winning, and the man losing his job, his family, everything. A director even made a movie about this nightmare.

February 12, 2011 at 5:50 PMHi Toianw, I know you're in China. Perhaps the stereotyping of Japanese is harder to be aware of if you're not Japanese. But one reason for the reputation has to be the notoriety of 日本A片 (and some anime, I forgot about that). I am not proud of this particular product and export of ours (like I said, it has been received well.). There is that outright porn, as well as all the "borderline" stuff (anime and games, "swimsuit" pinups) that Japan is known for. So I am not saying there are no grounds for the reputation.
All the same, a generalization regarding a group as large and unspecific as "Japanese men" can easily, and does, get applied unfairly and inappropriately. I wasn't interested in stereotypes and labeling, which is why I brought it up myself there. I know already, in East Asia many people like to despise Japanese men as disgusting perverts--so what are people's first-hand observations on SG in Shanghai or Beijing? I understand those may simply bear out the suspicion that only Japan has a serious problem with it. *hangs head in shame* If that is indeed the case, I wanted to think about why. whataboutmylife's comment wasn't specific and I couldn't tell what was observed by him/her about Japanese men, how much of the comment was just about the general reputation.

February 12, 2011 at 4:52 PMMmm. maybe I shouldn't have.
whataboutmylife, I'm sorry to hear your observation. But I did not say that about Japanese men you see, so you're agreeing not with me but with a stereotype widely considered acceptable specifically in China, and likely Korea. Don't mean to argue but I may have said elsewhere before, Japanese adult videos have found very avid fans in other Asian markets, yes China too--so what does that say? When I said "sorry fellow Japanese poddies but you do know how it is!", I meant the blanket demonization 日本男子 are the target of in general, in China and Korea. 日本男子 are always, at any time, a "good" target of anger and hatred; 变态 a frequently-applied label in China. That's what I was saying. Perhaps there are some grounds for the label (and sure, I suppose being the people who dream up and produce such amazing adult material, rather than just the ones who enthusiastically receive them, does put you in a certain rank, in the 下流dom hierarchy). However, again, does anyone else really emerge as positively on higher ground, less 下流?
But whatever things people have observed personally, on Stealth Groping I was interested in. Because Jen and John talked about it, I assumed the phenomenon exists outside of Japan as well, and thought I'd ask. But it's really not important.
megcram, mmm ... I'm sorry to hear your take also.
Thanks anyway guys.
Apologies again, for going off on this tangent. Let's get back to Eating Idioms.
