Regarding their sexuality (as Linfamy mentions) yes, but he *does also* mention that it although it was difficult and not considered "proper" for women to work outside of the home, it wasn't impossible. They could work as domestic servants, nannies, waitresses or even a teacher. Some even worked alongside their husbands to help the family business. Sakamoto Ryoma's wife, Narasaki Ryo, even owned a ryokan (inn). Some could also choose to serve as miko (Shinto shrine maidens or priestesses) or Buddhist nuns. Heck, some could even be samurai or ninjas, like Tomoe Gozen. Their education was pretty decent as well - in fact a lot of fathers even paid for their daughters to receive extra education. Visitors from Europe were actually quite stunned at how widespread literacy was in the country, even in the countryside. Sure, women might not have had it as good as we do nowadays, but at the same time it wasn't the absolute worst.

My great grandma grew up before the industrialization of Romania started. Esp in rural areas, women had a lot to do to be able to maintain the family, and home. Every week she had to bake bread for the whole family, she had to wash the clothes of very family member with hand. She had to cook, take care of the animals they had, while her husband was working. At the same time she had to babysit the children, and do the housework. She had to go to the market, to buy food, and some of the cases they even had to spun their own textile. She had to prepare for the winter, preserve food, marinate vegetables, cook jam, and put it away. Had to help with the agricultural jobs if needed. At the same time, she had to take care of her own old parents. While not the extent Japanese believed, but children owed a debt of gratitude in those times. It took a lots of work, self sacrifice, and even knowledge from the part of the mother to be able to manage the home.

Good on them if they _want_ to do that (and aren't intentionally inconveniencing others), but as soon as others start saying they _have_ to do that, then it can be a problem. They're being bashed for taking a long time to get ready when they may not even want to do but feel socially obligated to or were told at a young age by family, friends, or social media "this is just what women do and should do." Don't get me wrong, self-care _is_ important, but when your self-worth is tied to what others think you look like with multiple frivolous masks on, then it's just getting to the point of ridiculousness. * *cough* * Sorry, I went on a bit of a rant there.

Depending on how popular she was, a courtesan's contract could cost as much as a small palace. A geisha's contract would not as dear but still pretty expensive. In fact towards the end of the Edo period tayuu (high-ranking, elite courtesans) became very rare because barely anyone could afford them.

Idk why talking too much was always seen as a bad thing for wives back then in Asia. I know in Korea in the Joseon period, one of the legal reasons a man could divorce his wife was if she talked too much. BUT a man couldn’t divorce his wife if she always obeyed her in-laws and mourned them for a period of time after their death.

Same in pre-modern China. Traditionally, a man could divorce his wife if she either: 1. Disobey her in-laws 2. Failed to give him a child (idk if a daughter counts as a "child") 3. Cheated on him 4. Too jealous 5. Have contagious disease 6. Steals his possessions 7. TALKS TOO MUCH ("A decent woman should be seen, not heard", maybe this is why talking too much is a bad thing) But he couldn't divorce his wife if she either: 1. Mourns a full 3 yrs period for one of her deceased in-laws 2. Married him while he was poor, and now he's rich/powerful 3. Her original family is gone(either dead or moved away), if divorced, she'd have no home to return to

Not really. Remember the video is mainly about the red light district. Marriage and prostitution weren't the *only* options for women back then, but they were the *easiest*. They could still earn their own income in other ways e.g domestic servants, teaching, shops, waitressing, some could even own their own business like Sakamoto Ryouma's wife, Narasaki Ryo who owned a ryokan (inn). Some even worked in family businesses alongside their husband. And their education was actually pretty decent too; some fathers even paid for their daughters to receive extra education. And if they wanted, they could always become a miko (Shinto shrine maiden) or a Buddhist nun. Sure, it wasn't as easy as it is nowadays, but it wasn't the absolute worst. History has a lot of room for nuance.

Please dont take this badly I am just giving feedback. It's a bit misinformed where you missed some very important key points. I will fill in t: Specifically and soley prostitutes were called Yuujou. From the civil war era 1467-1615 to Edo period 1603-1868. The government to maintain control to keep the crime in one area they were all gathered in the district of Yu-kaku. The 1st to be established in Osaka 1584 and Kyoto 1589. The largest one being in Tokyo the size of 3 stadiums. That's how large it was... The way this worked was: you could not just go and have sex. Not the types you are describing. Cheap ones yes. Not the ones you describe. They had to pay at least 3 times to 1st meet her. Can't even talk to her or with her. 2nd time get closer and talk with her and eat with her. 3rd time then do that. The Name of this type of courtesan or prostitute was a high ranking one called ORIAN. They could charge equal to $750 usd per 60 seconds. Plus venue fees tips and proof of frequent client fee. And this makes the difference. The Orian Yuujous had large money earning power, and government backing and could refuse any guest they did not like. (vs cheap brothels which you didn't describe here). In 1958 Yu-kaaku culture was ended by the anti prostitution law. The lack of clarity in this will make people assume these were Geishas. But the Geisha were considered respected artists like any other artist form the time Like the Kabuki, Noh and and more traditional performers. Geisha means moving art. And they were trained and educated in music art craftmanship, science politics literature from very young ages, to entertain high ranking clients and spread their sphere of mutual benefit and influence with the government. If successful enough they could pay back the Ochya (tea house was called) where they were trained and pay out their freedom. (this model is still used in Japanese entertainment today by Talent Agencies btw). Something that the Yuujou Orian was NOT trained in. They had no conversational, music, political literature or any skill. They JUST looked the part but were not cultured like the Geisha. And this is where this video does not make the correction and can again bring the stigma back that Geisha were prostitutes when they were far from it. Geisha were divided into 2 levels (young upcoming= Maiko with more colourful dressing including long sleeves) and Older and more experienced (Geiko more modest dressing short sleeves). The Orian only copied the look of Maiko's and over did it in ornamentation. Geisha were professional artists who took pride in attracting people through their skills. Orian trying to highjack clients by appearing as a Geisha would dress extravagantly. Whenever an Orian (high official gov prostitute) would be paid for she would have a procession this is called an Orian Walk. VS Geisha would not. Back in this time period there was an option besides being a wife, a prostitute of nun to become a Geisha and earn money and even your freedom through that. There was that option. Which was then restricted in the 18th Century and Many geisha had to be the back up players in music and dance for the Orian (which was their skill anyway this just meant they could not earn as much as they used to through music art and dance) but this also meant the Geisha were STILL even then NOT allowed to have sex with clients at all. It was the Orion's territory and could get them fired. So even with restrictions, this was STILL an option.

I have to disagree somewhat. It is true that parent have an obligation to take care of their children but there is no specific rules as to how. But any good parent would do the best and go above just the bare minimum to raise a child. Lastly, any good relationship require reciprocity. While I am not suggesting your family should dictate your life, you in fact owe your parent something which is care and respect. Many people bring up that children never consent to being born but there is problem with that idea. Like let do it reverse, can a baby consent to their abortion? Also, the lack of consent doesn’t always mean you free from certain obligations.
