I think that at least some are very familiar with the concept of gender equality,and even if most aren't,there are still a fair few sexist women in Japan I should think. I think men still seem to be more sexist to women than women are to men though(I'll admit that this is just what I saw in Episode Final!) which I would never say about the UK(and what I've seen of the US),not by a long shot. And of course,some men and women might be familiar with the concept but not try and pervert the course of justice. Don't forget they are close to China so they must be getting there slowly. Very slowly,but slowly.
I think the major difference is that they are not constantly competing,which on one hand
there aren't things like female prime ministers which is bad,but on the other hand they occasionally surprise you and put them in a position which they might not be in in the West. And of course they did make an Australian girl the first foreign geisha a couple of years back.
Yeah,I think the majority of them just don't really want to bring it up. They don't like sensitive topics do they?
