I came across this article just now about solo weddings the japanese women are having, and it mentioned a startling statistic about the population decreasing by 30% by 2060. A month back I read another article about the herbivore men retreating to video games, manga, long walks, etc. Chateau Heartiste had an article on the subject but didn't provide much analysis beyond pointing out some serious discerning facts regarding the mindsets of these men and how they've retreated beyond the typical beta-mindsets. Other articles bring up a shunning of the workaholic mentality, but I'm not convinced...
...then I came across this article: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex
I mean what the fucking-fuck? How did a society with such a rich history and warrior culture descend into this fuckery? What the hell is their excuse!? They still hold relatively masculine traditions, especially in the workplace, and It's not like present day Scandinavia where the viking culture was purged by the gender neutering (I just came back from visiting Norway - we're talking feminism on steroids the likes I never knew existed), plus a lot of the western cultural-marxism didn't permeate either, and you still got the Yakuza that's practically a component of their government. Yet their men have descended to impotent little children, while the women are off marrying themselves as a coping mechanism to their solitude.
Curious as to some insight here, especially from guys who spent some time there.
