Japanese Toughness

Something I like about Japan is its lack of manliness. In America it seems like men are always looking over their shoulders to remind themselves to be tough. Sure, men and women have distinct masculine and feminine roles in Japan, but men here don't feel the need to have big trucks, homophobia, and attend car races to seal any question about their gender.

No, in Japan we don't have monster trucks driving around on the streets. We have the opposite: the Pajero Snoopy Edition:
