More like they are following a fad that has got their country in deep sh*t.
Japan is now the biggest example to countries that work work work, showing what will happen when people are too busy with their selfish desires to give a damn about anything else i.e. forming a family and working for it.
Sure women should be respected and have an equal role in society but there should be a balance. In places like Japan, this balance has gone out of Whack and other work-a-holic countries like Britain are also following suit.
The only thing that saves Britain is that there is too much unemployment and a lot more ethnic diversity than Japan. The work-a-holic disease hasn't caught on as well as it could. Still I see teachers and civil servants having miscarriages everyday because of the stress they go through because they are off "following their dreams".
What happened to moderation -_-'

The problem is that women were expected to get an education and start a career, and then give it all up and become housewives until death. With many single females with a large disposable incomes, many industries were created to suck up some of that money. In the end, women said "Why am I giving all this up so my workaholic husband can be away from home 16 hours a day?" You can call that selfishness if you want, I think it is the sign of a need to modernize the culture. You don't see this in America in the same way (though people are waiting longer to get married), because American fathers are expected to help raise the children.
