Very well said Diana! We all make choices and one of the first steps to change is to empower the ability to make choices.

One of the hottest fighting games out right now and it's taken seriously by people who play competitively. Then you have Yoko Shimomura and Michiru Yamane who are some of the most famed composers in the industry. Composing music for titles like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Castlevania. Keiko Erikawa co-founded Koei which is a respectable company in today's landscape.
That's not a fact. You're saying rape is common because of the lack of statistics which in itself is a logical fallacy. The statistics are low because the occurrence rates are very low, even after factoring for unreported instances, it's still vastly lower per 1000 people then some place like the US.
I disagree with that. It's a matter of finances. Having a child is extremely cost prohibitive. Real estate prices are very high as Japan is overcrowded. As Japan has a traditional culture where mothers do quit their jobs to raise kids, that means that men need to have incomes that can support the family. This also means that the man must have better jobs that can call for better income. These men work hard and very long hours. It's not easy for either gender.
I like to talk about reality and you can see in Japan the realities of gender and it's balance. Japanese understand that you can't have a society with infinite childcare. The best and what has always worked throughout history was having 1 parent watch over the child. What you see as "inequality" is "reality". You cannot upend certain truths. Perhaps there will be a time when men will do the child rearing and women will do the business work. I've already seen instances of it out here in the west. The problem is that women don't date men below their station. So the chances of a stay at home dad and a high income earner mom is very low.

There is a matriarchy society though (it's in China, last of it's kind). Nevertheless, Japan is a much better place for women in all metrics then America. Women from the west migrate there and they like it very much. China is even better.
Quote:Women are not taken seriously in the business world and are often encouraged to find a partner who will support them and quit their careers to become housewives.I disagree with the 1st point.

Quote:The fact that dating and marriage are in decline in Japan is part of a much larger social issue with lots of complexities but a big part of it is rooted in, wait for it, inequality for women.
