Japan's backwards self-contradiction never ceases to amaze (or disturb) me

I'm loading the video, and all I see right now is the page title: "YouTube - A Woman's Right to Choose - Japan."

Uh oh. *Takes a deep breath* Iwon'tbejudgemental. I won'tbejudgdmental.

........

Hokay. Can I laugh? I mean, am I allowed to do that?

"They're afraid it might make women promiscuous." YOUR WOMENZ ARE ALREADY PROMISCUOUS, A-DUHRRR! I understand what a giant the Japanese health government peoplefolk may be, but how can it be more difficult than, say, breaking the Senate to sign off on a bill? You get huge industries and thousands of people behind you, and eventually, they crack. My only thought is that the Japanese moral code is hindering the whole process of obtaining a stable, legal, sensible birth control. Mannerisms and politeness prevent people from giving the real, necessary push to get things done.

I don't know, really. I'm kind of giggly, 'cause this is just so ridiculous and, honestly, disturbing. I almost want to fly over there just to hand out boxes of the pill and NuvaRings.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FELT

I probably should have disclaimered the video with "this is not a pro-life rant against Japanese abortions, but a video on the stupidity of the Japanese health system and its refusal to provide women with actual CHOICES."

Oh well. Let's fly over together, okay? :)

Okay. 8D

We'll revolutionize Japan all on our own. We'll be in history books, yo!

[fushigi_na_chou]

Yes! The utter Americanization of Japan! ^O^

Oh yay, that's really good. I hadn't realized that the video was so old until after my friend watched it and informed me of it. XD;
