Even the Japanese Language is Sexist

Ok maybe not the language itself but kind of because Japanese have words only women can use and words only men should use. Gender roles anyone? No wonder they're ranked so low in gender equality. Are you a strong independent woman? Sorry, in Japan, you must be a guy. They don't believe a woman can be strong and independent. It's that ridiculous here. Even worse, you have Japanese girls themselves reinforcing this, telling each other you can't have a BBQ without a man. It's pretty nuts.

True, Japan is safe but not if you're a girl. You'll be stalked, harassed, groped, etc. Sometimes, much much worse. In the news recently, some very beautiful successful Japanese actresses committed suicide. It's really a shame.
