Japan proves the virtue of a society upholding traditional values, but let's not pretend that doesn't have a dystopian element. Due process for commoners is a pipe-dream, corporations disallow a work-life balance, business and commerce is shackled with anticompetitive red tape.

Yes, unfortunately the above image hasn't entirely been true for a while now. More women are choosing to go into the workforce and make money instead of getting married, so they can "live their best life" until they are around 40 and desperate to find a man. They are not quite as bad as Korea yet.
And then what you're saying about traditional households there is also true, but that also depends on how forceful the husband chose to be. Most men were simply so overworked that it was easier to give the wife the purse and let her manage the house and kids. If he wanted to exert more control he could. The culture and legal system were not against him as they are becoming today.
Japan is amazingly successful-
The country and people respect their traditions. The country is the safest in the world. They take care of their own people first.
Japanese women REFUSE the fraud of feminism. They prefer to marry and leave the workforce.
Basically as a country should be.
(yeah they have been feeling the impact of a massive housing bubble 30 years ago)
I'm seeing signs of this breaking down. Women as a gender are only as smart as the communities they are in.
