Mishima's interview 5
Mishima: Ms. Fukuda, when girls in young generation read my works, do you think they think my works are indecent?
Girl: No, I don't think so. However, though in the range of my reading, I think women's weakness are affirmed, so I talked to my friends about it , saying "We are more strong, aren't we?"
Mishima: For example, I wrote a girl's main character in Yoromeki as an ideal women for me. But women got angry, saying "How weak she is". I was roundly said like that by women's critics.
Girl: I think she acted before thinking in her way of living.
Boy: But I wonder if women think.
Mishima: Hahahaha, big problem. Fufufufuf, big problem.
Girl: Women think in their own way.
Boy: I think there is an opinion that women who lack the ability of thinking are fine as it is.
Mishima: I would rather be close to the opinion. That is to say, I think there is a big difference between what men think and what women think. Women's thought are close to the earth and nature, while men's are separated from there. At first glance, men's thought are very clear, logic and organized, but separated from the power of the earth before we know.

Mishima's interview 5
Mishima: Ms. Fukuda, when young girls read my work, do you think they feel my work is indecent?Girl: No, I don't think so. However, from what I have read, it seemed to paint women as weak. When I talked to my friends about it , I said "Aren't we stronger than that?"
Mishima: Well, I wrote a female main character who lives in Yoromeki as my ideal kind of woman, but some women got angry, saying "She is too weak!". Most women critics were saying things like this.
Girl: Maybe they're being hypocritical.
Boy: I wonder if women think at all?
Mishima: Hahahaha, that's no good. Fufufufuf, I hope you don't really feel that way.
Girl: Women think in their own way.
Boy: I think there is an opinion out there that women who lack the ability of thinking independently are fine as they are.
Mishima: You may not be wrong about that. However, I think there is a big difference between how men think and how women think. Women's thoughts are close to the earth and nature, while men's seem more separated from those two things. At first glance, men's thought are very clear, logic and organized, but those same thoughts are separated from the power of the earth and nature.
I may have changed the meaning of some lines where they were unclear. Interesting writing! Keep it up!
