My opinion is that there are many observations of Japanese society that contradict each other and that the chances of reaching a complete consensus on anything apart from the most general phenomena is zero.
From where I'm sitting there are probably elements in your and MMM's observations that are valid. Perhaps some of the conclusions you've both come to though could need some reevaluating. But again.. I don't know.
I went to uni in Japan and to me it seemed career was important to women as much as it was for men.
Not one woman I met planned to be a housewife.
Whether that represents or says anything about Japanese society.. I wouldn't know.
