Because to an extent sexism is a problem in Japan. There is the glass ceiling issue. Yes there are some Japanese women who out of choice leave their careers/job because they want to have a husband and raise a family. However, I believe there are Japanese women who put their careers first and desire to go as far as is possible in the career field they chose. However simply because they're female, they can't go any farther; to an extent I believe Japanese men think Japanese women are somehow less capable of doing the job because they're female (they don't think they're smart enough or skilled enough, etc.; these are just examples I can think of, I could be wrong regarding this topic).
