  10. I currently teach Japanese adults, mostly businessmen, at an online English school, and it disgusts me how some of these people take pride in dedicating their entire lives to their jobs and not giving a shit about their family. They usually tell me that on the weekdays they would start work at 8 AM, end at 9 PM, and go home at around 11 when their wife and kids are already fast asleep. On the weekends, they either continue their work from home, play sports with their coworkers/bosses or study some skill their bosses demand them to learn (like accounting, English etc.) I often ask them whether they spend time with their families, and they say yes, but only one or two times a month when they take them on outings. And when I ask them if they ever get worried that they're not being for their kids, they just say no, they don't, because it's "just the wives' job" to do such things apparently. The fact they say that so nonchalantly, and even take pride in it, really hits home what Whatifalthist said about modern bourgeoise capitalism and postmodern thinkers, on how they see basic human needs like socializing, to be a "weakness" or even a second priority because of how it doesn't contribute to the industrialized economy. Sorry for coming off as rude, I don't mean to generalize the Japanese, it's just these few salarymen that think that taking care of children is a "wife's job" because they couldn't bother about their own offspring really hits me. It makes me thankful that my father, despite working late hours too in another country, still messages me sometimes if I'm okay.
