It's funny that Americans often relate sexism with Islam and not places so culturally reachable such as Japan. I'm not sure about China, but Japan's definitely in serious need for reform towards man/woman relationships for a country that likes to appear so Westernized. But, of course, I can see all that many more radical right-wingers over there rabble-rousing about it, much like their reaction to Korean/Chinese culture and interracial relationships.
