Not so long ago, Japanese women who remained unmarried after age 25 were referred to as "Christmas cake," a slur comparing them to old holiday pastries that cannot be sold after December 25.
就在不久前,年满25岁仍未结婚的日本女性会被称为“圣诞蛋糕”,被贬低成那些在12月25日后就无法再被售出的过时节日甜点。
Today, such outright insults have faded as a growing number of Japanese women are postponing or forgoing marriage, rejecting the traditional path that leads to what many now regard as a life of domestic drudgery.
