Japanese Football Fans Criticized for Domestic Chores Inequality

Tokyo. After the World Cup football matches ended, Japanese football fans, who have been receiving worldwide praise for years for cleaning the stadium, have faced severe criticism in their own country this time. The Japanese women have raised questions about their double standards after pictures of Japanese supporters cleaning the stadium seats while putting the accumulated garbage in bags were made public this week. Criticism has started, saying that men who pick up garbage in public places leave the burden of all household chores on their wives' shoulders.

A post on social media has become very viral regarding this issue. In the post, a picture of a man picking up garbage in the stadium is placed on one side, and on the other side, the same man is seen lying on the sofa at home, using his mobile, with a laundry basket full of clothes nearby, and his wife washing dishes. The post reads, 'Japanese men should do more household chores, as the time they spend on household chores is among the lowest in the world.' The post has been liked by more than 60,000 people on social media X.
