I'll tell you what my observation is.

When it comes to Japan, it seems that gender roles are a lot more established and accepted in their culture.

I don't think that necessarily means that discrimination and objectification of women is more a problem than in the West (as others have said). Though I suppose it would be natural to jump to that conclusion if you look at it from our Western perspective

However, in my opinion the intersting question is, Are gender roles much a problem to Japanese women.
