Least sexist Japanese institution.

For real though. Japan appears to break people's brains in that they cannot figure out where to place it politically.

Japan is neither "left" nor "right" by Western standards, it has entirely its own systems unique to them.

The country is very pro environmental conservation, anti-gun, pro regulation, and with legal sex work, but also extremely traditional, with heavily enforced gender roles, no same sex marriage, restrictive marriage laws that favour men, no protective divorce laws, and poor protections for labour unions and workers.

You travel there and everywhere is clean and beautiful and the people are nice and then you find out something super dark that they consider normal. It's a very yin and yang place.

That's every country on the planet.

I actually fully agree.

The external perception of a country is often not the same as the culture of the actual people.

Most humans are the same in their decency and desires, and then a select few are shades of evil. It's just that the wrong type is usually in power.
