			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some Japanese women have some fucked up teeth <a href="http://www.julieinjapan.com/2009/05/yaeba-cute-crooked-teeth-in-japan.html" target="_blank">(also known as <em>yaeba)</em></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.cammyfan.com/weekly-rant/teeth.jpg" alt="teeth.jpg (512×768)" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a stereotype but one that&#8217;s big enough to have <a href="http://whatjapanthinks.com/2005/11/24/why-japanese-teeth-are-often-wonky/" target="_blank">surveys</a> about it. But this isn&#8217;t a rant about the teeth, it&#8217;s a rant about the consistency of them.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re always symmetric. No matter how jacked up one side is, the other side usually matches. There are some one-off cases of one-sided lopsidedness, but for those are as rare as a professional, Tokyo-living, perfect English-speaking, submissive, rich Japanese woman throwing everything away for a pimply faced, just outta college otaku.</p>
<p>Even when teeth are so crooked that they spell words, those words end up being palindromes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Or at least I thought so. </p>
<p>We were talking about Full Metal Jacket and the line &#8220;I&#8217;m going to gouge out your eyes and skull fuck you&#8221; came up.</p>
<p>After that, we literally had a 30 minute conversation about whether you could do that in Japan because of their smaller, more-slanted eyes. We covered all aspects from dick size of the fucker to specific region of the fucked. </p>
<p>In the end, we concluded that it&#8217;d just be like banging a virgin.</p>

<p>A dildo there. An affair there. And sometimes, if you play your cards right, you may even get your penis touched.</p>
<p>I know younger girls are all the rage but if you take a detour into the land of <a href="http://thesoulofjapan.blogspot.com/2009/04/intoxication-of-aged-beauty.html" target="_blank">jukujo</a>, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I dunno what it is about <a href="http://ruraljapan.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/holy-hell-i-think-the-gym-teachers-at-my-school-are-having-an-affair/" target="_self">gyms</a> at my schools, but I think I once again caught something shady going down. A male gym teacher and a female student were supposedly talking during lunch in his gym office even though I usually see him meet with students in the teacher&#8217;s room.</p>
<p>I had wandered into the gym to take a quick nap but the student came out before I could lie down. Puzzled, I asked what she was doing there. Her response was that she was talking to the teacher. I thought it was odd but didn&#8217;t jump immediately to conclusions. It wasn&#8217;t until 30 seconds later, when the gym teacher came out and gave an &#8220;I&#8217;ve been caught&#8221; look that I started suspecting something.</p>
<p>So a female student and a male teacher were having a private meeting in a secluded location which deviates from the usual meeting spot and was also held at a time when most other students and teachers would be occupied. Hmmm&#8230;</p>
<p>This is speculation and completely unsubstantiated, but still, one can&#8217;t help but wonder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I go to school early, I stay late and I return for PTA meetings. Why? Because mothers of Japanese Elementary Schools students are fucking hot and the effort is well-rewarded (well, not as well as it could be).</p>
<p>Many of these women got married maybe 1 or 2 years after high school and started having kids not too long after that. This results in a large number of mothers having elementary school-aged kids before they turn 30.</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t wish that situation on any of my friends but I&#8217;ve come to appreciate it here.</p>
<p>Each morning is like a fashion show. They come dressed-to-impress in decked out vans and wagons. Truth be told, I don&#8217;t understand why they go all-out just to drop their kids off at shogakko, but I like to believe it&#8217;s because they know I&#8217;m looking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A student asked me if I thought his girlfriend was cute. Relationships tend to be kept out of ear-reach or eye-shot of teachers so I felt pretty proud that they were comfortable dropping the silence with me.</p>
<p>But on the other hand, what could I say? He obviously wanted an affirmation on his girlfriend choice but before I even made a judgement I realized there was no good that could come of any answer.</p>
<p>If I said &#8220;no&#8221;, I would have just told him, his girlfriend (who was standing there, smiling, waiting to hear a &#8220;yes&#8221;) and all the other students in the vicinity that I essentially find her&#8211;the love of his life and one of my students&#8211;ugly.</p>
<p>If I said &#8220;yes&#8221;, then both he she would content, but theres no telling what warped version of my statement would&#8217;ve started circulating the Rural Japan Town News Network.</p>
<p>I was at an impasse; do I shatter his fragile ego or risk having <a href="http://ruraljapan.wordpress.com/category/students/" target="_self">rumors</a> start?</p>
<p>I ended up doing neither. I responded using a bunch of S.A.T. words, laughed as if some joke was told and then changed the subject. They didn&#8217;t catch what I said and needless to say, he opted not to ask again.</p>

<p>I love how women primarily lie to keep their current or future marriages in check. Regardless of age (teens to 60+ year olds),  Japanese Women seem the most concerned about maintaining a &#8220;good wife&#8221; image.</p>
<p>Men are also concerned with their image, but it doesn&#8217;t appear to be as big of a deal:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just read about <a href="http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=12648" target="_blank">Chikan (groping) Groups at JapanProbe.com</a>. I knew there were some perverts but damn, I didn&#8217;t realize it was this serious. There are websites dedicated to chikan and ball-less motherfuckers give tips on how to grope females, the best places to grope them and even arrange meetups for group groping.</p>
<p>It has gotten so out of hand that the police now have special task forces to combat it.</p>
<p>On one hand, I&#8217;m happy it&#8217;s not &#8220;worse&#8221; than groping. Luckily, the scum who opt to molest women on trains limit it to fondling and nothing more sever. In the west, I feel if I heard a story like this on the news that it&#8217;d be of rape.</p>
<p>But on the other hand, I can&#8217;t help but think that because it&#8217;s only fondling, and because the attackers don&#8217;t use weapons (as far as I can tell, they just get close to the women), why the fuck aren&#8217;t these women kneeing them in the balls, poking their eyes out, stabbing them with pens or just screaming &#8220;PERVERT!&#8221;? The silence gives these cowards the confidence to continue their perverse activity.</p>
<p>But that also comes from it being a different culture. Women here don&#8217;t always feel empowered to defend themselves physically or audibly. It&#8217;s a shame but their second class citizen status gives their attackers more free reign to let their hands roam.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a clip (with English Captions) of the news piece:</p>
