To be fair, Japan COULD do better, it just chooses not to.

@Homebrewandhacking Right?!? It’s so… ugh. Barbaric. I don’t even know what to say, really.
The kind of repressive, patriarchal misogyny you describe is brutally harmful to everyone living within its strictures.
I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. Are there any signs of it changing or does the local Gerontocracy (rule by old people) prevent that completely?
@Homebrewandhacking Fortunately, there are many activist groups fighting but the current Govt makes it nearly impossible for there to be any progress which is infuriating.
Huh... that's a statement that's true everywhere.
We'd like to make life better for people but the governments are stopping us from doing so.
It's a definite theme in the anglophone world anyway.
