You're comparing apples with oranges here.

Muh morality.
That's the right wing version of "being on the right side of history", literally the exact same thing.

I guess you're misunderstanding spectacularly here.
One such example would be child support.
When parents are divorsed, traditionally the father has to pay for child support until the child becomes an adult.
In the west now that women are making money, now they decided that the mother needs to pay for child support, so now the man's problem is a woman's problem.
And from what I understood, they're now abolishing child support all of the sudden.
If it's untrue, then just treat it like an example.
If it's true, then also treat it like an example.
The clearnet is so fucking broken, extensions are needed as a bandage.
Especially uMatrix, uBlock Origin, Block Cuckflare MitM Attack, Decentraleyes, LibRedirect, Stylus, Vim Vixen, and FoxyProxy.
FoxyProxy to use VPN, Tor, and I2P alongside "nothing to hide" proxy-less browsing.
uBlock Origin for blocking ads, cookie popups, and all the other annoyances.
uMatrix for very precise blocking of trackers and other kinds of spyware (advised is to block everything coming from 3rd party resources, and only allow CSS and images from 1st party by default).
Block Cloudflare MitM Attack for further spyware prevention.
Decentraleyes to run some CDN'd soyware locally, though I'd rather not do that personally.
Stylus to fix ugly white background and black letters webdesoygn.
LibRedirect to browse big tech and alt tech cruft via a condom.
And Vim Vixen to browse the web using just your keyboard.
I also recommend Pale Moon for an independent browser (fork of the old Furryfox before it became Rust), or Netsurf for an entirely independent browser made from scratch, but it has no extensions.
By the way @wrongthink, I call those types of people "Tech Jews", though on The Crowhouse I kept it a bit more politely and called them "chickenshit anarchists" there instead.

900 KiB (= 921.6 kB) for a webpage is problematic, yes.
But 900 KiB for a GIF is actually still pretty small, as it's pretty easy to make them weight 15 MiB on a 4 second long animation.
Then again, depends on what you use to make that animation, this (http://ryocafe.i2p/static/klee-bomb.gif) (requires I2P to view, otherwise replace "ryocafe.i2p" with asc7ewkcvat2wsoi5yuwkej5ukyrqqnpnzpj4u34r2jxnoxhnbx6yqad.onion for Tor) for example is only 378 KiB (= 387 kB).
> Good to hear it may be not as bad as some make it out so
A lot of foreigners make it seem way worse than it really is.
I think it has more to do with them moving into Japan because "so different", and then they complain that it's not like their home country.
Move the fuck back then!
This is where this whole "NOBODY WANTS TO SIT NEXT TO FOREIGNERS IN TRAINS BOOHOO!!" bullshit came from.
Sure, if you emit any scent (good or bad, doesn't matter, just about anything entering our nose is considered bad), people will distance themselves from you.
Or people who are so fat they take up more than 1 seat, same shit.
But instead of taking these into account, they just cry "REEEE REEECISM!!".
Yea, fuck off...
> because when a man has a problem, it's always a personal problem, but when a female has a problem, it's the society that's fucked up.
And this is why the smart people turn a man's problem into a woman's problem, and wait until soyciety fixes itself.
> I think there are plenty of landlords willing to make an exception if the dweller is female expat.
nope.
If you're a foreigner who doesn't have permanent residency status, you'll be treated like someone who can possibly flee any moment, regardless of gender.
It's more a matter of money than anything else really.
As we were talking about the sexes, I thought you meant he was discriminated against just for being a male.
Now that you mention age, this starts making more sense now.
Age discrimination is real, especially towards foreigners because unlike Japanese citizens, foreigners can just flee unexpectedly and foreign courts will not rule in the landlord's favor while national courts will be like "he has no residence in Japan and no Japanese nationality, so we can't take your case sir".
Whether him being single or married has nothing to do with it really.
Otherwise you'd be denying the fact there's an abundance of single men renting apartments and mansions without any problem whatsoever nationwide.
Just in case, because I already know you'll say that:
Yes, women-only rooms do exist, but the women-only to all gender ratio is pretty much equal to the kangaroo to human ratio outside of Australia really.
Yea, because 1 dude being declined by 1 landlord is equal to millions of people being declined by hundreds of thousands of landlords right?
I've heard lots of horror stories from people looking for a place to live, but unless he was explicitely looking for a women-only room (and therefore he then creates his own problem), it really sounds rather retarded.
And so far, the only people complaining being declined by landlords are either the gaijin who flat out refuse to learn Japanese even though they already live in the country for decades, or pet owners who refuse to keep the fact they have a pet secret, or people with a criminal record.
But never just because of him having not the right genetilia between his legs and them being afraid of just suddenly dying in his own room because of that.
Evidence please?
Because I'm literally a man in Japan, and I'm not being discriminated against, and renting an apartment has never been easier (I like in a house I bought, but still).
I made the argument on IRC the other day (or was it here? I'm too boomer to remember) about how how those who complain about a 900 KiB GIF file because "think of the mobile users and their crappy data limits" would happily insert a 14 MiB MP4 file that's on autoplay, has no controls (so you can't stop it), and without audio into their already way too bloated "mobile friendly" websoyte filled with ads, trackers, and other unnecessary JS/CSS cruft.
