I think Glooby has forgotten how long its take womens rights to take effect in the rest of the world. If it wasn't for Wyoming voting for women to vote, I would be stuck washing clothes or in a brothel.
Japan is still young in the sence that they haven't been exposed as long to western culture. There expiriences have been limited to the US blowing them up. Which, I'm sure, scared them into submission. A hundred + years isn't a long time to "change" a culture that has been run by an iron fist.
