Cegov in Tokyo comments

Meh, sounds like bull pucky to me.

Where's the proof and how could you prove such a thing anyway - 'look see no records of lost baggage'

People are beginning their comments by saying that hugging isn't a big deal.

You're condoning assault.

Women have the right to move through the world without a random stranger touching their body, in any way, shape, or form.

Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Well for starters (I know you know this), Japan has one of the worst gender equality levels in the world (ranked 146).

You think the protection of women from sexual assault is a high priority for the overwhelming majority of ojisan leadership?

Am I the only one noticing that while domestic violence is generally the male partner offending against the female partner, in Japan there seems to be more violence between parents and their children?

Comparatively speaking, I've always felt that families in Japan don’t seem to get along very well. Many Japanese people I’ve met have little to no relationship with their parents and siblings, which I haven’t noticed to such a degree anywhere else.

Any theories on what might cause this?

Is it related to the high mental health, high suicide, and low happiness levels in Japan?

Isn't it amazing that a Saturday night punch up can get into the news in Japan?

Sure, that might seem like a logical conclusion if you're new to Japan or not too familiar with how crime is reported to authorities and the media here. But news coverage doesn't reflect the actual crime or domestic violence levels, especially in Japan.
