My wife faced much more demeaning type of sexism from people in the states than in Japan. People here and in the company she worked for assumed she was a subservient Japanese woman and acted on that stereotype.

An yes, most older Japanese men can hardly make coffee. My father-in-law just learned how to make cup ramen recently at 57 years of age. But he works like a dog six days at his own company to provide for his family. Yeah, he demands a lot from his wife, but he gives a lot, too.
