Have you spent much time in corporate Japan?

Here are some nice countries that I’ve worked in where women are rarely seen in positions of govt or business leadership:

Japan

South Korea

UAE

Yes I’m well aware how men treat women in Japan. It’s still, statistically, a better place to be a woman than 90% of countries. That should give you a clue about how men treat women, globally, if Japan is top 20.

UAE and South Korea are similar to Japan. UAE is ranked #25 for women- so top 13% in the world for women, and SK is ranked #31 for women, so top 16% in the world for women.

There’s a lot of corruption and authoritarianism in all these countries. But they’re among of the most powerful and successful on earth, and they’re also far ahead of most countries when it comes to not enslaving and oppressing women, although as you pointed out, are women equal or as free as men in these countries? Absolutely not. Imagine if these countries treated women like the U.S. or France or Sweden. They’d be unstoppable, more democratic, richer, and better places to live.

Try again.

Your provincialism is off the charts and massively evident. Good luck out there.

Translation: “I can’t prove you wrong and don’t want to face any of the truth in what you’re saying, so I’ll just project my feelings of provincialism outwards towards my interlocutor instead of dealing with them like an emotionally mature adult.”
