Why American Women Equal Japanese Men

Single women love to hate Valentine's day. For twenty-four hours, the holiday disrupts their usually satsifying singledom and tells them it's morally reprehensible to be alone. In order to be complete- they need a mate.

On the other hand, there are some males who despise Valentines for a different reason. They look past the mental harassment focused on the stigma of being alone. Instead, they are the few enlightened of the species who clearly see the emotional corruption that lies behind the candy, card, and flower companies that are out to sell love by extorting money from already emaciated wallets. Since a majority of the wallets are supposed to belong to men, it seems natural that men
should be a bit more cognizant of these so-called love crimes promoting only a sick blend of commercial love and calories. Seriously though, Godiva chocolates will taste just as expensive and delicious any other day of the year, no?

So in America, it's a given: while women hate Valentine's Day because it advertises their failure at proper socialization and suddenly equates "being alone" with "loneliness" (despite every other day "being alone" meaning "being single"- targeting women as proud independent individuals who are free from the confines of traditional gender roles), men are no big fans either a cause to their aversion to store bought love, especially when what they really want is usually free.*(in some cases, free* requires a nice dinner out. Although, for some- home-cooked meals if prepared correctly score bonus points.)

Realistically, V-day might as well be equated with Vagina day, as it is simply all about the women. Of course, there are those lucky gents who are in the company of very special ladies who tend to treat their boy/man with extra special chocolate favors and sexual goodies on these days. (sometimes both!) But these amazing women are often rare and impossible to find.
