Dr Miyake lecture

[Madeline George]

Thank you for the resources and ideas for lessons for my middle school students!  I am astounded by how the Japanese are super misogynistic .. as a country it seems that the men have been trying to downplay and control the women.  Not that this is new... or unusual, but women had to crawl on their knees because their clothes were so heavy!?!?!

i didn’t understand when doing the readings last night as to why the woman would hide that she knew how to read.... it wasn’t that she knew how to read, but rather that she knew how to read Chinese and that was banned.  Controlling the women by not letting them know the language of power / government. Diabolical yet typical.  It might hurt their little heads  :/.  Or maybe the men were intimidated by the women!  I will think more about this later...
