Talk:Women in Japan

message: I have reason to belive that this is plagerized from the libary of congress i.e. the artical Gender Stratification and the Lives of Women under country studies for Japan. This article is currently located at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?cstdy:3:./temp/~frd_2aPD::
but due to the fact that it is a temporary website it is subject to change.

I definitely think the contents of "Working Women in Japan" should be added to this page. There is not much in the "Working Women in Japan" page and it simply makes sense to add it to this page. Whats up skip 03:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Should this article be renamed to History of women in Japan.
It primarily presents a summary/timeline of female gender in Japanese society through history, with a final summary of the current status. This is a history article.
A modern-day article could be spun off at a later point.--ZayZayEM (talk) 22:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: Oh, and this article reads like an essay. It requires multiple citations to verify points, and needs to be more of a description, and less of a discussion (it can describe discussions on the topic, preferrably multiple and indepndent ones) to be considered encyclopedic.--ZayZayEM (talk) 00:58, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Some of the contents of section Education and workforce participation sound quite partial towards the status quo.
In particular, I am referring to Many women find satisfaction in family life and in the accomplishments of their children, gaining a sense of fulfilment from doing good jobs as household managers and mothers.
I suggest to reword this to something like Women are pressured by society to only find their fulfilment and satisfaction in the accomplishments of their children and their job as household managers and mothers. Davide.tassinari (talk) 10:44, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Section "Education and workforce participation" biased?

message: FYI, I removed  as the thrust of the navbox is sociological where this article appears to be more geographically / anthopologically oriented. ClaretAsh 11:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Navbox removal 

message: I am removing the line about 'career woman' being the equivalent of salaryman. It is not. Career woman carries with it far different ideas. She is successful, and not necessarily getting a salary (she may be self-employed or own a company). A salaryman means a man working for a company and has a strong overtone of not being particularly successful.  91.125.55.128 (talk) 22:55, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of 'Career woman' 

message: Anyone familiar with this problem:
In Japan, a woman takes her husband's family when she marries. This means (as an example) that when Jane (whose mother is Elizabeth) marries John (whose mother is Ellen,) Ellen becomes the mother of both Jane and John. I always thought that this rule of defining one's family was traditionally proper in Japan (although it never was in the United States,) but I don't know if any Wikipedia article mentions this (this statement relates to improving Wikipedia mentioning info related to the above statement, so it doesn't violate NOTAFORUM.) Does any Wikipedia article mention a statement similar to the above?? Georgia guy (talk) 19:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Family problem 

message: It seems that this article is disproportionately Westernized, and also sort of fetishized, with its unusual heavy focus on Geisha, sex work, and beauty standards. While these aren't irrelevant, I would like to expand this article to incorporate aspects such as divorce, child-rearing, education, and social roles. I just want to flag that I'd like to work to take this article in that direction. Owlsmcgee (talk) 21:28, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you entirely. Rewriting the articles relating to marriage in Japan is on my "to do" list, so hopefully those articles will tie in together with this one. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:20, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just added some marriage and divorce sections, maybe you can pull from them for your articles as well! Owlsmcgee (talk) 01:58, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I love what you've done and I promise I will hold up my end of the bargain... one day. But for now, I'm going to be bold and remove the "sex industry" section from this article for the simple reason that, despite the attempt in the first sentence to link it to women, the section is about the sex industry.

thread_title: Some suggested sections

message: There's a lot of research about Japanese beauty standards, and I suspect it could form the basis of its own article. The references I'm including in this section are just the tip of the iceberg in academic research. Owlsmcgee (talk) 20:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Beauty section

message: What does "Resilient traditional expectations" mean? -- I don't understand this sentence. Thanks in advance,  Ottawahitech (talk) 00:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Expectations on women from traditional times that are still around today, ie, persistent, or enduring. It would seem to refer to the roles of women such as raising children, domestic duties, and not working, etc. I'll change it to clairfy, assuming no objections.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Women in Japan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Mainichi":
From Beate Sirota Gordon: 
From Constitution of Japan: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:14, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

message: In this revert the claim is made that the term "three submissions"  does not appear anywhere in the source.  That exact phrase does appear in Cooper (2013).  I don't know why you were unable to find it.  It is on page 6: "There is a teaching in Japan that women should obey the “three submissions” rule". -- Whpq (talk) 00:05, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
