接下去讲日本为什么女性,尤其是单身女性那么迷恋名牌。 Japan may be an advanced society on many fronts, but one area where it lags is the relatively low status accorded to women in what is essentially a male-dominated society. But females are finally getting their revenge – they are going shopping. Young working women are not just jumping on but leading the “brandwagon”.作者又造了一个新词。
更深入的心理分析Women are being repressed from day to night. They have to serve their hu*****ands and bosses. The ship is the only place they are being served, a moment of pleasure, a moment when you are respected as a human being. 接下去写 Luxury brands are a counter to low self-esteem. An outlet for repressed feeling – it’s aggression, it’s relief, it’s proof that I count.
紧接着写讲追求名牌的单身女性最大的追求还是嫁给有钱佬,结果呢导致未婚女比例越来越多,不进年轻男女为此苦恼,父母也烦恼不堪。另外一方面婚外恋比例上升。和这段分析对应的内容,香港部分用的例子是何鸿燊和他的四房太太(书里写奢侈品大牌新货出来,经理们都得想点trick,该先给哪个太太打电话,谁也得罪不起)。
