63% of Japanese men want wives to work, but 54% of Japanese women want to become full-time housewives, say the results of a recent survey.
The survey, of 1,254 unmarried working men and women, asked questions regarding attitudes to women becoming housewives.
Asked if they wanted to become a housewife after marrying and having a child, 53.8% of women responded either that they wanted to if their husband’s income would comfortably support them, or that they wanted to even if their husband’s income was insufficient.
Major reasons for wanting to become a full-time housewife included “wanting to concentrate on housekeeping and childrearing” at 55.2%, “wanting to devote myself to my hobbies” at 25.5% and “because I don’t like working” at 15%, lending weight to the suspicion that laziness rather than a traditional mentality is a major factor.
Actual expectations were slightly removed from desires – when asked “Do you think you will be able to become a full-time housewife?” 68% thought it either impossible or unlikely, whilst 32% considered it possible or probable.
Meanwhile, men asked whether they wanted their wives to become full-time housewives after marriage and childbirth were mostly against the idea – 63% wanted a wife who would “absolutely” or “if at all possible” work, compared to 37% who wanted a stay-at-home housewife.
Fortunately for women looking for a free ride, men appeared none too resolute in the face of work-shy wives – 60.1% of men who wanted a working wife would either willingly or grudgingly agree to her becoming a housewife, 30.1% would try to persuade her not to, but only 9.7% would give up on marrying such a woman and find someone else.
Japanese politicians planning a “gender equal society” seem not to be aware that women apparently don’t want one, preferring instead one where their husbands do all the work and they stay at home watching TV all day.

And the other 35% must want to not be a wife at all since they think sex is a hassle...
all i see is 54% are lazy bitches
63% want to wear the pants in the house.
what's wrong with wanting to be a housewife? if they get a job it implies they won't be in a kitchen for more than 18 hours.

Problems with being a full-time housewife:
- Wife becomes "less-employable"; if the husband is killed or dies (ex., traffic accident) she and the kids will be in poverty (the insurance money, if any, after taxes, doesn't go very far).
- Wife gives "her all" for the family, but doesn't feel sufficiently appreciated, which _tends_ to cause her to seek an extra-marital sex partner.
- Wife becomes boring because she has much, much fewer mentally-stimulating interactions than she would if she held an outside-the-house job.
- Wife becomes bored because she has much, much fewer mentally-stimulating interactions than she would if she held an outside-the-house job. This _tends_ to lead to her leaving her husband and family to "search for herself".
Even if the husband is rich enough to support his wife and kids in good style, she still should have some sort of "outside" job or volunteer cause.
You don't have to work, you get paid and you get to do everything you want all day? Heck yeah!
It's not a matter of being a man or a woman, everyone would want to live like that.
I want to become a Househusband! xD
over 50% thats tough.
I've seen quite a lot but some of them have to bear the tittle "the man with no balls". Remove your pride 1st before become househusband.
@ Anon 14:42
- Wife becomes "less-employable" - True
- Wife gives "her all" for the family - It works both ways. Husband gives his all working at a mundane job to support his family.
- Wife becomes bored - My observation is the stay-at-home-moms socialized with every other mother, while the working-moms socialized with a much smaller circle of female co-workers.
@ Anon 23:12
You forgot that the working wives also talk to the housewives, so in the end the working wives actually have a larger, more complex social network to call upon.
I'm more surprised that there wasn't a, whatever makes my wife happy option.
Good, we need to get women back to the kitchens.
Men who want their wives to work are sissies and/or poor people who deserve the harpies they no doubt married.
Dudes, just because we want them to work doesn't mean we want them out of the kitchens. I sort of want both of us in there, having sex, while the pot roast cools.
"Japanese politicians planning a “gender equal society”..."
Women don't want equality. They want supremacy.
Holy fuck! Schrobby finds their keikaku now i hope that he disappear after that
But i dont think that they are feminazis they just are Tsundere Masters that want that their slaves works hard for her everyday
Things like this remind me why I dumped my last girlfriend.
One day I came home and found herself stuffing her face with chocolate, watching a movie and my laptop on her... lap. I asked "What are you doing? Shouldn't you be working?" She lifted her gaze and in a nonchalant voice replied: "I quit. We're getting married in a month, aren't we?"
Since I was pissed at her increasing laziness for everything during those last months, I just told her "The wedding's canceled. Go back to your parents."
And then the shit hit the fan.
High five!
@HKE
How cute, one of the banned trollastic five has another forged account. Hello, Mikage. Take care that the door doesn't hit your ass when you leave.
@Schrobby
Sorry i dont understand you can you please tell me what that phrase means , im not a english native speaker and i just know some stuff of that 4chan shit so must of the netchat that i see on the net , speacially here i can understand it but , what you say know , could you please tell me?
Who wouldn't want someone else to do the work for the money so you can do basically whatever you want at home?
Anyone seriously think that if you asked the men if they would rather work or spend their time at home watching TV, playing computer games, reading books, socializing with their friends, or god forbid got to spend some time with their children while someone else brought in the money, that less than half of the men would say no?
Less work for more money, it's human nature.
I'd gladly work half a day if it keeps me afloat. Would be a nice combination of money and free time.
I'd love to be a house-husband. Even if I spent all day cooking and doing housework, it would be better than all day in an office.
- No office politics and incompetent managers to deal with.
- You're doing something for the people you love, as opposed to doing something for a faceless corporation.
- Cooking can be creative, how many of us get to make something different every day at work?
a woman devoted to take care her family is a lazy bitches?
Most japanese families don't have children, due to the falling birth rate. This isn't like America, where housewives actually do work.
yea, apparently they don't do good work either judging from the pollution they've created. these "kids" with meaningless lives and makes everyone else's much more miserable.
I admire the japanese household with no kids. at least they understand how polluted the world is.
@17:51
Reducing population does not reduce pollution. Reducing pollution is what reduces pollution. And reducing pollution begins by putting a leash on the corporate suits and not letting them dump all the shit they want in our air, water and soil.
What? I was president of my high school tautology club. http://www.xkcd.com/703/
@18:33
Some people ARE pollution. They contribute nothing to society, steal, rob, and leech off others. And these spoiled brats that these shit parents who shouldn't even have kids when they're in the pre-teens collecting food stamps and pumping out babies.
Is that why femdom videos are so popular?
i love seeing retards who never done housework talking shit . Trying doing proper housework for few days , and see for yourself . ITs a more then full time job .
Most of the time it's not. It's not really like most people that live single go home and do 8 hours of work, after their real work. I don't at least, and live by myself and I do my housework myself, and it really don't take that much time.
And with improved dishwasher, swifters and dyson sweepers etc, it'll be easier.
Now if we get AI robots then the stay-at-home person need an engineering degree or at least a maintenance certificate.
WE NEED "PERSECOMS"
You mean: "WE NEED "PERSOCOMS" ".
@ Anon 14:05 and Anon 14:07:
WE NEED PURSE-O-COMS.
Lol, been doing my housework for years, it's a 30min/day thing. Even without any electrical appliances.
Children can be quite annoying to live with but most japanese only get 1 anyways ( and that one gets taken to day-care the minute she/he is old enough ).
Ofc 30min/day doesn't include cooking which I quite enjoy.
i love seeing retards who don't have a real job talk about housework being hard, 'cause yeah, housework takes up 100+ hours a week
here we go again, Japanese women seeking the easy way out. Surely the men want their wife to work so that the women won't hit and run with the men's money.
Things have become too easy for a "housewife" situation to be viable. The result of letting your wife stay home all day under that pretense is more than likely
-boredom
-feeling "unappreciated"
-wanting your every free moment when at home from work
-and ultimately cheating as a result of all three.
tldr; she needs to get (at least) some volunteer position.
Huh. Marriage requires compromise- who knew?
that's why bitchslap and backhand is invented.
@Taiga
Well said..!

Thank you for the delishush waki OP picture, Artefact...
Good thing girls in Hokkaido are not like that XD
I have been given inspiration, my new dream in life is no longer zombie apocalypse survivor...but instead....stay-at-home-dad.
Men unite for the greatest cause ever known.
Sounds boring though.
Watching anime all day doesn't sound too boring.
You can count me in.
Just anime all the day it get boring , morning to mid day anime , manga for afternoon with a ice/hot coffee or tea , and lewd nights white some echii or hentai stuff (games,manga,videos,av)
Looks like you'd never leave your room.
i study from 13:00 to 20:00 well at least this are my 2 last semesters so i have from 21:00 to 13:00 to or sleep or make something while i can before start working , well i can say that my family is not wealthy but we arent rich as well , and my father in the first oportuny when i get a work he will kick me from house in other to prevent to be apart of the bum of NEETs
Well, hikkikomori already found that out ! :-)
my friend's dad is one of those stay-home dads. he cooks, cleans. and yells at his sons once in a while.
Somehow I get the feeling that housewife ≠ hikkikomori.....
Maybe watching more anime will help me understand?
@HKE:
No hentai stuff like games needed for the night. This is the time for the wife to serve you. ^_^
Theres parcheesi...and thats about it :(
And working 9 to 5 in an office isn't boring?
It´s a nice experience to see your kids grown up.
I got such a kick out of this comment. I need to send you an e-klondike bar
That's honestly one of the cleanest comments I've seen here.
it's a better experience to see other kids grow up....on videos..in swimsuits...in a bath tub...
I guess it's nice if you ignore all the work and trouble you have with them.
Im on it YAY!
Drugs? Alc? Anime? ^_^
hahah idiot i guess you have never done housework in your life .
