I've lived here for five years now and I can't understand how this shit makes it out into public places without somebody thinking it's a bad idea.
Honest question; how do young Japanese girls feel about this aspect of culture?
The majority of them hate, but a few of them use it in their favor to get attention from the guys. It's weird. The ones that hate it don't dare speak up about it as it's a man's world here and other women will distance themselves from the girl speaking out to avoid the same social fallout.
It's fucked here.
How is it any different that every major American female newscaster has to wear something that shows off her (required) long, tan legs while she tells you about the uproar in Ukraine? When is the last time you saw a male newscaster's legs?I genuinely could not live in a country that fucked up. Really couldn't.
Women are objectified in every country.
Men run the world and women will always be treated like this. Sad, but true.

Women are objectified in every country. Some are just more overt about it than others. Honestly I like that the Japanese choose not to use some facade to attempt to make it more palatable. At least everyone is on the same page and we aren't arguing that her micro-skirt is a "business-cut" so she can sell her feminism on the evening news.

(This is from Fortune magazine)Women currently hold 4.8 percent of Fortune 500 CEO positions and 5.0 percent of Fortune 1000 CEO positions.
I saw that too. I think the average height for a CEO is something like 6'-2" (off the top of my head :rimshot.Women may account for 4.8% of CEOs, but then men under 5"7' also only account for 2.7% (more than 90% are above average global male height).
Welcome to demographics.

Japan is like the polar opposite of America. In Japan they have no problem showing you a 12 year old animu getting fucked in her ass by her father while the mother is eating both their assholes, but you show some gore and WHOA TONE THAT SHIT DOWN.
That's why I say that men run things. There's also this thing I call the "7-11" effect that women need to understand also. It's pretty simple but almost totally lost on women when I try to explain it...
Men have spend untold generations making war. As such we have deeply ingrained responses to what we perceive as threats. I watched a video where two random dudes were in line at a 7-11. They didn't know each other at all. A third man in front of them pulls a knife out and robs the store clerk. The two random dudes make eye contact, one simply nods to the other and it's understood that they are now a team and it's time to neutralize the threat (which they did together). Men are fantastic at forming up against a threat and they will fight full-strength until it's beaten.
Gay marriage, LGBT, women's rights...none of that stuff directly affects men as a whole so they largely ignore it as a 'threat'. I just don't see a way that women will overcome the gender disparity without triggering a threat response from men. In some ways it's already happening small-scale as many more men are choosing not to get married. They see it as too much financial risk versus the reward (companionship, sex) since marriage success is pretty much a coin flip now.
They do? I'm p. sure they censor most of their porn.
I'm a porn expert. I would know.
