How serious are you about the integrity of your scenario training? Watch this video dissection of an attack on an Israeli soldier: https://t.co/aqrFHiI3Gz
Living up (or down) to expectations? Or are the girls exaggerating their reactions for the sake of the show? (Or under direction from those in charge?)
But, probably their reaction isn't too excessive, i.e. they are bringing shame upon themselves by acting like this, or their behavior wouldn't be frowned upon or socially disapproved. So even if the women are acting in an exaggerated manner, this is expected or they are being held to a set of standards for women. (Would standards of decorum have been different for the wives of samurai? Perhaps.)
Would such a display of fear be tolerated from men? And yet in various prank ghost videos involving Japanese men, many of those men are seen to be cowering in fear. The consequences of not being enlightened by Christ?
I've read the claim made that women have "traditionally" prefer men who are connected to their aesthetic and emotional sides, along with the claim that in Asian to be successful (in dating) one must tone down one's masculinity. I find this doubtful -- men in East Asia are generally not interested in physical dominance, nor are they raised to value it. And women, who tend to be arrested in adolescence in their adulation of soft-looking male idols may not be interested in the hard, alpha male for reasons other than a lack of physical attractiveness. They may be prioritizing someone who is financially stable and secure and yet seemingly polite (or "cultured" according to East Asian standards), not someone who is rough. And one should also ask whether these women are sexually attracted to those men, or if they are with them to get the ring, later withholding sex after they've had a child or two.
"Lefty" websites for eco-awareness, sustainability, and relocalization like Yes! Magazine are useful but the editors don't see how articles like this work against community, rather than build it. This was published in Dec. 2010, but it was featured on FB today, ostensibly on the occasion of Valentine's Day.
Witness the intellectual confusion that results from the deliberate severing of the procreative function from sex, and ignorance of the justification for such emotions as jealousy. Jealousy is not necessarily tied to a wrong notion of ownership, but it can be interpreted in that way.
