A variety of Japanese neologisms respond to the changing circumstances of Japanese women in the workplace. Many would make useful loan-words into Canadian English. For example, perhaps the Japanese word experts could oblige with a word for "gangs of women who think they are specific Sex and the City characters".
Bridget Joneses of the world beware: spend too much time with the rikonmiminenzo (divorce-promotion generation) and you just may end up as a moshimo-onna (a "what if?" girl) or even risk spending your thirties as a tsurumun (a woman who dreads being alone on national holidays and invents reasons to visit friends).
