- Japan is dying out. Also this is how Japan treat pregnant women.
Although being pregnant is the most blessed moment of my life, I have some frustrations on how people in Japan treat expecting mothers. Here's some of my experience as a pregnant woman in Japan.

Did you enjoy "prego prego fight" part? 🤣
Yeah, totally lol. It happens even here. If it happens to me (different scenario), I'd probably say that I've been seated for far too long even if it weren't true.🤣
I think, even if you are Japanese.. is it your first time in Tokyo?
I lived in Tokyo Many years now and Japanese people are among the kindest in the world..
but as you pointed out, they don't "take the initiative" because the nail that sticks out gets the hammer.
So it's up to YOU to kindly ask someone to please have their seat, and 3 people will stand up! I guarantee it!
This sounds like a YOU problem, more than a Japanese society/Tokyo problem. Just ask.
I think you should get a car, it might be easier for your new family 👪
@@bishop51807 Japanese companies don't allow employees to commute by a car so that doesn't solve the problem I am talking about... But yeah car would be nice for family occasion.
Yeah, that was funny! Preggo girl catfight! HAHA!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
And for a country that prides itself on manners and respect, I am compleatly shocked
People in Tokyo lost their souls...
@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan that's so sad to hear for such a great people, i am saddened to hear that
LOL everything's relative. At least they don't have dozens of shootings every weekend...
They problem is in Japan there is no concept of personal space. People get get right in your face on the sidewalk, on the train and on the bus. It’s very uncomfortable for foreigners who are used to being given plenty of space. Especially on the train, I’ve had women press themselves right up against me and all I can think of is “I’m going to be arrested.”
I’ve had people get so close that once I had my smartphone in my jacket pocket and these people were so pressed up against me, that I was literally afraid that my smartphone would snap in half in my jacket pocket! Imagine how close these people’s bodies were pressed up against me to be worried about that.
@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapanHow about in other cities? Like Hokkaido, Sapporo or Oosaka?? Are people better, like in anime?😊
This is very true, One time I was going to work on the Tozai line and a heavily pregnant woman got on. I looked up and around thinking someone will give up their seat and nobody did... Due to me not being able to speak any Japanese at that point I got up and did some hand gestures offering the mine.
She refused a couple times and I could tell it was because she didn't want to seem like a burden but I had no problem standing up, So I continued to offer the seat until she gave in.
I was really surprised no one else offered her a seat but it is what it is, A few stops later she got up and thanked me again then left... So I jumped back in that seat and had a nap.
Also Congrats and I wish you all the luck in motherhood.
Ill be subbing to this channel too.
I think pregnancy in Japan looks hard than other countries, hoping pregnant women could get respect and help.
I am Japanese, but one day when I was on the train, an old man with a cane came in front of me so I tried to give him my seat, but he glared at me and said, "Don't treat me like an old man!" After that, I voluntarily quit giving up my seat unless I am asked.
Congrats! It's even worse here because the public transportations are always cramped. I always offered my seats to real seniors, moms with children, and handicapped people even if it's not a priority seat when I rode the JR trains last December 2022. Still happy that I have empathy for people. Anways, I hope you enjoy mom life. ✨
Are japanese mums educating their young boys to offer their seats & leave priority seats available? Selfishness & indifference is a trait of crowded cities, not only in JAPAN. It may take sometimes though to get mentalities changed accordingly in the matter….the sooner, the better!!!!
That's the thing brother, birth rates are low in the developed world because people care more about the grind than relationships or family 👪.
I'm sorry to hear that people aren't being considerate. Unfortunately, while I was taught to give special consideration to women, the elderly and disabled, there seems to ba a lack of that basic consideration nowadays. Also, healthy people taking reserved parking spaces for the disabled is the biggest concern here. Just last week there was a man trying to find a spot to park, after circling the lot several times we flagged him down to give him a regular spot. Watching him try to squeeze a chair off of the lift between two SUVs, my mother had enough, she marched up to the teens who were occupying the disabled spot ,busily making out and gave them a strong finger wag and " look" that only a grandmother could and while pointing to the man just barely making his way from between the cars. To his credit, the boy said sorry and immediately pulled out, they girl on the other hand, just sneered as they drove past. Long story short, there is a way to get you point across without being a Karen and you should always stand up for other people when then are in need.
Best thing about being gaijin is you can ask these idiots to move without anyone losing face. The mom’s are so thankful 😊
LOL The battle of the preggerz~! xD Awww, hearing about your experience makes me so sad T^T I really hope Japan improves on being more selfless. :'3 Praying for your healthy delivery when the baby comes~!
Thanks Xiao! Yeah it's silly right? Hope you are doing well 😀
Hello Asagi, congratulations on your pregnancy. I am an older man from Germany. In my youth I still drove a lot with the public Verkehrsmittelm. At that time, we have been taught for the elderly, disabled and pregnant women the seat has to make free. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case today. Actually, I love Japanese culture because of its humility. That's why I always try to set the best example. All the best for the birth.
Awesome video!!!
Oh, Asagi, I am so sorry it is like this there. Soon you will not have to worry about it. I hope all goes well when the little one comes! Be safe , take care, & see you later.
Asagi, your Asaginators are here supporting you far and wide!
Thank 😊 you, Asagi Sama, for the great video 📹❤ it was informative, and the humor 😀 lightened the mood and feel of the video 📹. #MondayLove
"It was your choice to get pregnant". I feel like people holding this kind of attitude is a contributing factor to low pregnancy rates. It makes people feel like getting pregnant is a burden to others.
Tbf...it is
I just came from Tokyo a couple of weeks ago and you are so right about most people on the trains are on Air pods while looking at their respective phones.
I'm an American living in Japan. I stopped offering any assistance to most Japanese people because it was always declined, politely, but declined non the less. In all kinds of situations, it's strange because anytime I've ever asked a Japanese person for assistance they ALWAYS help. I think it might be embarrassing for a Japanese person to be seen being assisted by a Gaijin so to avoid the embarrassing situation for the Japanese person, I just don't offer any help.
You probably nailed it
That's really interesting. I wonder if it's better to offer help, knowing it will be declined, than not to offer at all. Which displays more honor and saves more face? I really don't know; maybe Asagi-san or another Japanese person can offer an opinion here.
When I lived in Taiwan, back in the 1980s, people were weird about bus seats (everyone rode the bus in those days; no subway). The elderly had first priority. Elderly women would shove past me to get on the bus so I guess age is more important than being first in line. Once I tried to stand up to offer my seat to an older man, and not only did he decline but it seemed to send a shockwave through the bus and I heard all this murmuring, not sure if they were cursing me or mocking me or what.
Back in America, I worked for a while at a bookstore run by a woman from Taiwan, and when she was preggers and riding the bus frequently, she said everyone kept offering their seats. Even after she gave birth and no longer "looked pregnant" people would offer her a seat. It's considered common courtesy around here although this is otherwise considered a rude Eastern city.
You just have to give it.
As a caucasian travelled through Japan many times, everyone has taken my offer.
But I don't verbally offer, I demonstrate with my actions and they can see that it is not a gesture, but a true offer.
@@J.J.J.J.J.J.J Or maybe you just make them uncomfortable by helping without asking and they don't want to be rude and tell you to fudge off.
@@vaguedreams I've made many friends in Japan and they explain they are comfortable with this. They thank me again before we get off the train. Of course you have to pick the right people. Don't just assume every pregnant person wants to sit. You can see who is looking for a seat when they get on. And you tell the ones who go to a corner with their stroller and don't want to be bothered. That's why the blanket rule of offering your seat to everyone does not work well. You have to observe people's behaviour. Some people who fit in the 'disability' category prefer to stand, for others it's just too difficult.
Same in NYC for me on the subway. I avoided public transportation but sometimes it’s easier than driving. But mostly women and teens got up for me.
Hello!! New viewer here!! Just want to say congrats! And I hope your pregnancy life go well
The "shut up and put up" mentality, regardless of weather somethings is wrong or right is hardwired in the Japanese mindset😕
Things will get even harder when he's born, you've got shopping trips with the baby(Crying)+pram/pushchair and shopping bags
Congratulations. I love your videos. Hope you have more. ❤
Im not surprised about this behavior especially coming from Japan. I totally understand your frustration though. I know this is a late response but Congratulations on your newborn Baby! I pray your family is doing well. Keep the videos coming !! I love your channel! Ganbattekudasai
The first Japanese woman who caught my eye was Etsuko Shihomi.
I thought all Japanese women were like that.
So I was surprised to meet such a reserved woman as Asagi.
Especially one from Chiba.
The cinematic home of Etsuko Shihomi.
The streetfigther.
I thought be careful with Japanese women, you're processed into sushi faster than you can apologise.
Search for Etsuko Shihomi, a Japanese film heroine in the 70s.
"Etsuko Shihomi Fight" brings beautiful clips.
take care of yourself.
Great video Asagi! 👍
Thanks! 😄
Wow, when I first moved to Japan, people were quick to tell me "Make sure you pay attention to the priority seats and give it up to those who need it!" Sad to hear that many people in the cities aren't following it at all...
I am worried about this, since I am going to Japan in December while pregnant. I guess this shouldn't come off as too much of a surprise though, since last time I was in Japan, I was the only one who offered to give up my seat to an elderly woman (regular, non-disabled seat), and she was SO thankful to me. It's a shame how people in Tokyo are not as conscientious to others.
Update: only one woman in a priority seat gave her spot up for me, and that may have been because she was getting off at the next stop. I was wearing the maternity mark too. There was also one other woman in a regular seat who wanted to give her seat to me, and she was a clearly kind person-kept insisting, but I told her I was going to get off at the next stop anyway. Everyone else was very cold even when my bump was showing and my maternity mark was out loud and proud. My husband also, while I had a priority seat, saw that one seat by me was open, so he tried to motion to an elderly person to sit, but before they got a chance to a young person snatched up the seat.
(I go away for a while and when I get back your 8 months along?!)
Seriously, I wish you well on your grand adventure. Raising my three children was an "adventure". High points and low points and lots of daily stuff in between.
You are a strong woman so I'm sure you will do fine.
CONGRATULATIONS!🎉🥳🎉
I've tried to give up my seat to someone older in Japan but they didn't go to my seat and a younger person took it.
This is happening in Australia too. The people on priority seats don't often look around. I feel we'd give pregnant women a seat but half the time the elderly miss out. I avoided priority seats but now I always take them as I know I'll give it to someone who needs it more.
Congratulations! I hope for the best. 🎉
You'd think that with the declining birth rate that pregnant women would be cared for and treated with deference.
And get good social benefits to increase the birth rate. Asagi is a real heroine!
social expectations and particularly work culture do not treat parents and children well, so few people want to be parents.
As a man, when I first moved to Japan, it was normal for me to give up my seat to any woman on the bus or train, but their reaction to my normal gesture was so over reactive, I felt extremely embarrassed. My wife was with me at the time and I felt that maybe she would get jealous or annoyed that young women were openly praising me in public. Maybe the men who don’t give up their seats don’t want to be embarrassed.
Now I never sit on the train or bus in Japan. I just stand even if there are plenty of open seats available. Let the women, elderly or even salarymen take the seats. I don’t want to be heavily praised for just acts of common curtesy.
Hi Asagi. It's been awhile. Congratulations on having a baby!
Wow, I’ve been gone for a while. I didn’t know you were pregnant. Congratulations!
I heard some people are rude to pregnant women on purpose because they are jealous. My wife is Japanese.
Congratulations!!!!
To think, within my family us younger adults are ALWAYS expected to give up our seats to parents, grandparents, and mothers. I don't use public transportation though. Maybe people weren't aware you are pregnant.
I was in Japan riding around and saw an elderly woman get on was just standing. She wasn't that old, maybe late 50s early 60s, older than me anyways. I saw her and made eye contact twice and was like, "I'm 27, there's nothing wrong with my legs" and so I got up to offer the seat to her. As i was trying to recall the words and phrase to offer her my seat, some middle-aged guy swoops in and takes the seat seconds after i get up. I turned and looked like "there's no way you just did that"
First of all, congratulations!! And thank you for this video. Its the perfect timing. I am also now pregnant, but at beginning. In August i travel to Japan. Then i should already have a belly.
But i wonder, why dont you just ask the people for giving up the seat? Even if they avoid to look at you, then touch their shoulder. Of course its not nice, its in my country also taboo to do so, but in this situation you are the person who is right. They are the ones who are unpolite
I remember those reserved seats. They’re so tempting after you’re exhausted from walking all over Tokyo😂
Hi from me in New Zealand. Do you have any advice for someone who is interested in dating women from Japan? Is there a reputable website ? Thanks for a wonderful channel and I hope you stay healthy both mentally and physically. Matt :-)
Pregnant women, and the elderly are most vulnerable, so they should require special attention.
Huge congrats, hope everything goes well for you and the family, also it seems like these issues are a very global lack of manners pervasive nowadays
Much appreciated 👍
My foreigner wife gave birth in japan (osaka) and this also happened to her. One time she got offered a seat. That's it though. In America this wouldn't happen, there would almost always be at least one person that gives up their seat. I don't understand this part of the culture. Even one time I was sitting in a regular seat and an elderly person with a walking device entered the train and I stood to give her the seat but she refused? Maybe she just didn't want to sit but it's kinda of strange to me.
Japan unfortunately or fortunately still hold a strong male dominated society and it prioritizes work over anything else including family life or individualism. Until it changes somehow, it’d continue this way. I was in Japan riding a Yamanote-line and gave up my seat when I saw a woman with the pregnant badge but most young adults around me didn’t even care looking at or standing up for the woman. Everything else in Japan is great or better than USA or Europe but it’s just a cultural thing that cannot evolve. PS. Here in NYC, crime is high up n crazy and subways are unreliable but at least when we see a pregnant woman or elders, most people would give up their seats even though when we are tired from work etc
Hi thank-you for sharing your story. I always give up my seat to handicapped people, old people, pregnant woman and lastly women in general in that order. I just think that is the gentlemanly thing to do.
Are elderly treated this way as well? There's a great scene in _Gokusen,_ the jdrama about a Yakuza woman who became a high school teacher, where these rude high school boys are totally ignoring an elderly woman standing in the aisle. The teacher politely asked them to yield a seat, they told her to f off, and she then started cursing at them in Yakuza dialect at the top of her lungs, scaring the crap out of them (and the rest of the passengers as well). They jumped off at the next stop and the old lady sat down and thanked her graciously. Later it turns out she was a wealthy philanthropist who was planning to make a large donation to the same school, etc. Great series.
I lived in Japan for over 4 years. I can count on both hands the number of pregnant women I saw. And one was my friends wife. Yall are like shinobi.
Congrats on your baby. May they be fat and happy.
The same thing to me when I was using a baby carrier on the train the guy looked at me saw that I saw him and the angry look on my face then he pretended to go back to sleep then I loudly called him a faker
Prego prego fight 😂❤️
Do you plan on staying in Japan? Or would you consider moving to a different country? And what country would you like to raise your daughter in?
My ancestors would raise from the grave beat the shit outta me if I don't give the seat to a pregnant woman or an elderly person.
Then my parents would after that even though I'm an adult lol
Congratulations
ƪ( ꒳ )ʃ ....now that's a cute Asagi, always standing for her pregnancy rights.
I always give my seat to any elder people or women with children, not to mention pregnant ladies. It doesn’t matter if I am using a priority seat or a normal seat. Anytime anywhere. Not only when I am here in Japan, like all these weeks. Last time I did that was yesterday twice, in Kyoto area, but I did that in Tokyo and other places earlier too😉That is how I got educated💪🏻😊
I would be unable to sit in the seats reserved for pregnant people, the elderly, people with reduced mobility due to health problems, etc., although i recognize that Japan is the greatest example in the world in many aspects, starting with hygiene, respect, etc., which are deeply valued in Japanese culture
Asagi. I'm Dan bloom in Taiwan. Congrats on your new marriage and bravo on giving birth to a cute baby boy. Mazel tov, dear asagisan!!!! God bless you.. Dan in Tokyo 1991-1996.
When I was raised to give up a seat to the physically disabled, pregnant women, and veterans…..
*Gatsu theme/Old Wounds sold separately*
Good luck. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I guess it's a side effect of the low birth rate in Japan, which has been a problem all its own for a long time. I think people have become really selfish because most people are single. I live in Taiwan which has just recently begun to struggle with low birth rates. I can see the common decencies falling away like child dependent allowances in salaries. They want everyone to have to receive the same pay because they chose to get married and have children. It's sad but it's real. People in Taiwan would currently jump out of their seats for pregnant women, but I can see it changing in the future.
Hi Asagi.
You could create funny situation scenes with 2,3 or more pregnant women.
Get on the train with 3 pregnant women, when one of them gets a seat, set a big alarm clock for 2 minutes, then change seats.
The situation must bring blushes of shame to the face of the last unempathetic saleryman.
Oh yes, I see a great TikTok career for Tokyo's pregnant women.
No bullshit, Asagi and the pregnant women gang are on their way. Times are going to change. Be careful Saleryman.
Best regards.
A good idea!
We have this image that the Japanese are super rules followers but Japanese people only follow the rules when authority figures are present. For example in my area there are signs and graphics on the sidewalk that say “no bicycles on the sidewalk” and there are clearly marked bicycle lanes on the street, but no one uses them, everyone rides their bicycles on the sidewalk. There are times where I have to step into the street because bicycles are coming in both directions or people are riding side by side and as a pedestrian, I have to step off the sidewalk and into heavy fast moving traffic because there is nowhere else to go. It’s really annoying.
I know it may not be ingrained in the culture, but what do you think would happen if you simply asked: "Excuse me, but do you mind if I sit down?"
I was thinking of doing this when I go to Japan while pregnant, but I read a story from someone that some people will get resentful and go so far as even tripping pregnant women / purposely hitting pregnant women in the stomach.
Being a mother is also an important job. However, seeing how crowded and uncomfortable mass transport has become in Japan, maybe it's time for it to be upgraded. Faster and better bullet train already exists. Also about cars: most cities in the world have issues with too many cars in the same road (traffic jams), however it seems you have the opposite problem. Some people talk as if not having cars and having mass transport instead were the perfect solution, but here we can clearly see it's not that way. Some balance is needed and perhaps the cities themselves need improvements as well.
Congratulations Mam. Take care of yourself and your baby.
Thanks a lot!
With-no bull Ship!....
Awesome
You're outgoing. Just nicely ask if they are able-bodied ( they might have an unnoticeable handicap) and if they'd mind letting you have the seat because you're tired (show your belly).
Once on a rural train in Japan I sat down , just a few people on board. I was noticing they were all ladies when one pointed at the ladies only sign. Stay away from the pink cars guys.
That's only during certain rush hours though, ne
Kind of strange because in many respects Japan is quite considerate, for example people don't talk on the phone on the train. When it comes to offering seats, maybe people don't feel the sense of shame so acutely because it's evenly distributed amongst 6 people.
The only issue is the train? What about medical care, costs, quality? Is there support post-birth you are eligible for?
You don't know what each of these people are going through.
Salary men and women on average probably more stressed and tired.
If they don't offer the seat, then it suggests that they feel they need it.
That's not the purpose of priority seats...
@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan No it's not, those seat discriminate. However you didn't only talk about priority seats.
You’d think with the declining birth rates, people might care a little.
I lovr your haircut
There are also bias on this topic. I just never sit on the priority seat to avoid the trouble to yield the seat. Maybe the people who sit there could be sociopathic at the beginning.
Wait, people suggest you seclude yourself from living your life because you're pregnant? That's a bit grim
First off.... Congratulations!!! 🥰
I am an American living in Germany. Here we also have special seats on public transportation, and usually the people will move, unless they are complete a******s.
OMG, that's crazy Asagi! You and the other preggo girl don't deserve that!
Is there a conductor or security to ask them to move out of the special seat?
First Congratulations!!
I can't believe how inconsiderate and selfish people like that can not to mention cowardly. I would hope others around would take notice and shame those types. I know I would! I genuinely hope this isn't a relfection of the rest of Japan.
You are so beautiful 🖤🖤🖤💞💖🧡💘💘💚💙🩵❤️💓💟💟💗💛💜💜🤍and I love your hair and your video ⭐️⭐️✨️✨️🌟🌟🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐💐
The way I see it, if a pregnant woman falls on the train or bus and hits her belly, it could cause a miscarriage right then and there. Same goes for the elderly and disabled. And all because some asshole is too lazy to stand for a few minutes.
This is strange. I thought that 日本人 were supposed to be always super polite in public. 🤔
People in Tokyo lost their souls.
Thanks for helping with the declining population problem. You would think the government would do more for pregnant women to encourage women to have babies. Congratulation and it will Bea beautiful baby. My wife is a halfy. To me she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I am blessed. I hope it's a healthy girl. Maybe she'll be on old enough😂.
I also won't offer my seat to pregnant women, unless asked. I once offered my seat to a pregnant woman of my own accord. Turned out she wasn't pregnant. It is safe to say she didn't appreciate the gesture 😕
I love baby pics!
Congratulations 😇🥳😎🥳🦆🐧🌹
I think we need to create an escort/bodyguard service of Asaginators, to tell off rude people sitting in the restricted seats for you. You’re too polite to ask for yourself, but rude gaijin like myself could do it for you, no problem 😂
I’ve often offer my (normal) seat to an elderly or simply tired-looking woman on the Tokyo Metro, but they sometimes look so uncomfortable at the offer that I wonder if I should do it. 🤷♂️
Oddly, it just occurred to me how *few* pregnant women I’ve come across in public in Japan, in all the times that I’ve been there. Maybe a lot of them do hesitate to go out much - or it could be a reflection of the low birth rate these days…
If men not relinquishing their seats was the only problem for pregnant women in Japan, wait till you give birth. If women weren't already treated poorly in Japan, Women who don't decide to have children get derided for not doing some sort of nation duty. Then when they do, they get the cold shoulder by their employers for being selfish and causing issues for their fellow workers. Women politicians who try to bring it some attention in parliament and city hall get heckled by male politicians. Once women have children the child, their ability to travel on public transport is instantly stymied by bad access to elevators for prams, terrible access in pharmacies and supermarkets due to narrow aisles. Then there is the pitiful social safety net allowances the government offers as a pathetic attempt to help with the costs of a child. Japanese population decreasing? Who knew? But on the positive side, Asagi Congrats on the Pregnancy, Keep trying Okaasan.
I once asked my friend Noriko why the Japanese government did not provide more generous benefits
for Japanese to have more kids. Now I can see why.
I've been to Tokyo 2 weeks in 2013.
I lived in China 6 years. Japan is the best place i have ever seen.
The greatest people and greatest society i have ever met.
I ❤Japan.
I wish Japan can be much stronger, greater, present worldwide in a much larger scale.
Japan is the best country in the world.
Hmm 2 weeks doesn't sound enough to understand how it's like to live in Japan 😅 Appreciate your complement though.
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
It is hard to understand japanese people because most of them hardly express their true emotion. But hey, i dont have a problem like that here in Osaka. The peoples here are more "open".
Yes people are much open and friendlier in Osaka!
I found a new solution: When a salaryman or woman refuses to give their seat up, i just stand right in front of them, turn around and crop dust them! They have nowhere to go and must eat the stinch!
Hahahahaha „you are more pregnant“!
Asagi sorry to hear that report If you are a gentleman than it should be common courtesy to give your seat up for someone who is needing it.
they need to put more effort into encouraging the younger generation that it is great to have a family and have kids!
for sadly, if the declining birth rate keeps going, i fear the DIET might have to take draconian steps!
best draconian case would be allowing for the consensual marriages between siblings and cousins!
the worse case draconian measure that the govt would do if it becomes desperate (and is something that no one wants) would be outlawing #LBGT anime & manga ( aka no more #yuri or #BL books ) as well as all forms of abortion
"you chose to be pregnant - why dont you get a car" who in their right mind would say that? It's ridiculous. Better not react to such comments. It makes the viewers feel like you think they are stupid. ;-)
How do Japanese treat pregnant men?
Have a friend, 28, she wants to get pregnant, but she is afraid to loose her job.
(the company didt it in the past with another coworker.)
Pergnant = will loose her job.
I know it´s ilegal... bla bla bla... but she will not say anything to the authorities....
What a country. O.O
In Japan or America?
@@michaelrmurphy2734 Hi Michael, its in Japan.
big sister getting a baby wow
You don't have to be Pregnant for me to offer you my seat. I will always offer my seat to a lady
Thank you for your reply
My mother told me that
I thought this happened only to my wife. I thought of asking them if they could read Japanese... But I didn't.
In Tokyo, ignoring is a way to stay out of others life. Not seeing others, means its not your problem...
Rural Japan should be better?
Hang on mate, let me rectify you at 0:37, "not pregnant people" but pregnant women
Could be biologically female but not identifying as a woman.
