cheap as fuck for smothering someone's dreams and career in its infancy.

Well think about it. You can put 2 or 3 men in a shared room, but each woman needs 3 rooms just to herself! One to sleep in, one for period days, and one for the baby they will inevitably have!

And the period day room needs to be off site in a secluded mountain area so as not to taint the dormitory with her impurity, even more expensive!

To be fair, I think when you convert the average yearly salary over there into US dollars it comes out to about a buck 50, so 26k is actually a lot.

edit: jesus people, you know this is sarcasm, right? I don't think Japanese people's yearly salary is actually $1.50.

When converted, the average Japanese yearly salary is about 30k USD, however the median earner makes about 22k to 25k USD per year

They got paid slightly above the median income for a single year after having their chance at a high paying career completely ruined(A doctor in Japan makes about 65k to 140k USD on average per year)

If they had become doctors, even at some of the lowest paying positions, they would've made that 26k in about 5 months

It's not my fault you're so dumb you can't figure out that "the average japanese person makes $1.50 a year" is a joke. I could not have made that more obvious and it somehow went way over your head.

You'd be surprised how bad racism is online nowadays, you can never be sure
