“Notably, Chang’s report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and marry and have children further down the line.”

    Just to chime in. I was interested to randomly see in my feed the other day about how divorce between an American husband and Japanese wife, is at a lower rate than is between Japanese citizens.

    I found it interesting that some cultures might be slightly more compatible with each other.

    Anyway.

      Not surprising, Americans living in Japan don’t tend to adopt the crazy work schedule that’s considered normal over there.
