When I browsed through the article describing the parasite single women in Japan, I can not help myself of thinking that quite a few of my college friends in Taiwan who choose not to get married. Even though some of them eventually married, they often complain about little time left for their own. In a male dominated society, it is not an individual power to shake the conventional belief, that is, the meaning of life for some is to reproduce their own child. Many Hollywood movies also encourage women to get their own life full of fun to shop, to hang out with their friends, to create a lifestyle for care-free leisure activities. The peer influence at school has a leading impact upon many young women in Asia. Undeniably, it seems very shallow for such a protest among Asian women. Yet the revolutionary road to ultimate freedom is a price for them to pay off.
