In fact, no one knows which will be better, to stay at home to bring up children, or to work in the office as a business woman. We sympathize Japanese women's plights, but on contrast, Japanese men have so strong pressures that therapeutic tools to cure psychosis and robots to console men are both invented there. And the suicide rate is really high in Japan. Working over-time becomes routine.
I don't think the situation will bring happiness either to Japanese women or to Japanese men. Really, in western-country invested companies, we can see many women workers, who take the same responsibility as men and also get high salaries.
In my mind, the most important thing is whether men and women are offered the same opportunities, whether they can choose the life style by themselves rather than by culture and society.
In a workplace filled with men, smoking and drinking, talking about business, if a woman sits among them and does the same thing, what will we think of her? If the company asks workers to work overtime late at night until the women's dormitory is closed but men's dormitory opens all night, then which choice should the woman make, to work as others do or to go back earlier?
Sometimes things are trivial, but the consequences are obvious, unhappy, no matter to which side.
