And another stupid quote (and an obvious translation)

[cstaylor]

``Women have grown too strong all over the world,'' growls one retired seaman watching the witches of the waves from shore. ``But nowhere I've been is worse than here. Because they earn so much money everything's upside-down."

Translation: they don't let us push them around because they rake in 3 times the cash that we do. The men should be running things because... well, because... um, damnit, because we should!

``Sure, they know how to work, but they're stupid when it comes to knowing what to do with it. ... Maybe that's what happens when you spend your day holding your breath. They just save it all away for their old age.''

Translation: My wife beats the shit out of me when I go and take the money she earns dying on the ocean floor and blow it on Pachinko and girls who let me be a man (instead of a leech like I am at home).

...the sense of entitlement that men have in this country can either be funny or infuriating (depending on how seriously you take it)

All I can say is.. god bless 'em all. Without their ignorant attititudes, it would
make getting laid for gaijin just a little bit harder.

...I just wonder how many more Charisma Men Japan can absorb without an overall negative impact on fucked gaijin?

The women run things around here.

Left in charge of everything, the women grew fearsome-so much so, the local scuttlebutt goes, that the men would seek shelter (and female company) in other ports, limping home only when their money ran out.

And shouldn't that read: when their wife's money ran out?
