I was lucky enough to be in Japan when all of this happened... but I have to say I completely agree. For a country that is drawing more and more on Western culture, it surprises me that there is still such a sexist view, even when they are trying to hold onto some elements of "ancient" culture. I was appalled at some of the stories I heard from our tour guide about how tormented she was to reach the point of insanity. It's such a sad story. =/ Anyhow, eventually women will rebel, no? Isn't that usually the trend?
