ニューヨーク・タイムズのインスタグラム(nytimes) - 8月7日 06時13分

An unmarried woman older than 25 in Japan was once called a "Christmas cake," a slur referencing pastries that can’t be sold after Dec. 25. Now the slur is fading as more and more women are choosing to remain single, rejecting the traditional path in which wives and mothers are expected to bear the brunt of domestic labor. The wave is so striking that a growing number of businesses now cater specifically to single women. There are single karaoke salons with women-only zones, restaurants designed for solo diners and apartment complexes that target women looking to buy or rent homes on their own. Travel companies book tours for single women, and photo studios offer sessions in which women can don wedding dresses and pose for solo bridal portraits. “We don’t have to rely on men anymore,” said one single woman, who lives in a condominium she bought herself. @andreadicenzo took these photos.

lmichellephotography Great article, always fun to learn. Interesting that @nytimes can celebrate or positively discuss “ladies only” and “women only” in Japan but in the U.S. the same concept of female exclusivity would be seen as negative or at the least not inclusive?

sr.k.k I think it doesn't matter as long as they are happy with being single. But if someone is happily married doesn't mean that they are not independent or strong enough to live their lives. In both ways women can be satisfied with their lives 😊
