Imagine you’re a single man in Tokyo, scraping by on a modest salary, your dreams of family life deferred by rents that eat half your paycheck. Inflation’s clawing at your savings, and the cost of dating—let alone marriage—feels like a luxury you can’t afford. Then comes the government, hand outstretched, demanding more because you haven’t found “the one.” This isn’t just a tax; it’s a slap, a public shaming of your status, a reminder that society sees you as a problem to be fixed. The anger simmering in online forums is palpable—men are already vowing to opt out, not just from marriage but from the system itself.
Stupid.
