they can only act in defense, if japan is directly attacked

They're pissed that a country dare reject their equity nonsense

Japan will stay Japanese and conservative

@momoneymoproblems ya but they recently changed their constitution recently to have a standing military having offensive capabilites!!

i think americans would have still beat japan in island hopping because of superior navy anyway

Yeah we do have the better army

@momoneymoproblems true

I thought it failed tho

As of now, the JSDF can only act in defense of Japan or deploy non-combat assets in support of humanitarian crisis relief

oh wow guess it failed

It does say in 2015 they made it so if their allies are attacked they can help too

That was around those Japanese journalists were attacked

They were beheaded I think

Yakuza got involved and shit

Shinzo Abe said in 2017 there's a 2020 deadline for the 9th amendment to be revised in japan

which is the one where japan can't declare war

Good, they're getting backbone

but using your maiden name does what exactly

Nothing, leftists are just mad Japan is rejecting their denial of gender roles

Maintains the woman as an individual

Aka nothing

haha good!

But this justice feels it does

I can promise you 90% of the women in Japan dont care.

I mean the idea of a woman using the same name as the man is because it's a family unit

Japan is great

^

Why not the man take the woman's last name, then?

You put your family before the individual

Because that isn't their culture

Why do you feel the need to change it?

Japan is great, and it's getting better over time

Because it's been a male tradition for one, thats happened for thousands of years

Because they do

They don't

Why change something when it makes zero difference

Obviously these women feel the need to change it

No they don't lol

How do you explain that justice, though

Or the women joining the JSDF
