世論 What Japan Thinks

The big news in Japan right now is, of course, the birth of a potential future Emperor. This story will spawn a million conspiracy theories, no doubt, from was it a natural conception, to, well, I don’t know how far these wild tales will go! The exclusively male lineage of the Japanese royal family is also causing the Western press to have a look at the role of women in Japanese society as a whole, so as a service to my newer readers, or those discovering the blog through search engines, I’d like to point out I have translated a number of surveys on gender issues, covering many aspects of society from women in the workplace to domestic violence.
