“Inochi no Onna-tachi he—Torimidashi Women’s Live Ron”
———————————————————————————————
I’d like to review some recent manga [comics] here. in these manga, I think women today talk about their body with the words developed by women of former generations.
“Jounetsu no Are 1” [Passionate It]
This mangadescribes everyday life of a sister and her younger borther. She keeps shattering her brother’s fantsy about women with sharp, accurate words. The brother says to the sister, who has been looking at her nails just after she had them painted at a salon, “Men do not care women’s nails anyway.” She replies, “You always get stiff shoulders and back pain after a nail salon, since you have to stay seated in a fixed position for such a long time. How could you do that for other than yourself?” She continues, “We grow up in an atmosphere that “being pretty” should be the top priority for a woman. But not every woman can work that out. And so I guess we all want to have something pretty that we can obtain easily.” “Beautiful People, Perfect World”
Mitsu Tanaka says she wants to stand tall without caring what people say about her, but that at the same time she wants to look as young as possible.* She admits that this contradictory existence is her who “is here as a woman.” Women are bothered by their own desires.Women try to be “pretty” and people assume they do so in order to get men’s attention. I feel I’m conneceted to that sort of woman’s body spoken here, but I felt there is nobody like ”the mother” spoken in the context of 3.11 and the exposure. The woman’s body isn’t a “machine to reproduce children”.
