The Japanese women I know are (by my arrogant Western reckoning) pretty damned feminist and find being ogled at by men (Western or Japanese) really horrible. But why should I believe them when you (Scottish, male) obviously have a much better grasp on their (Japanese, female) culture than they do?
I'll tell them next time we talk that in order to properly embrace their own culture they really need to just put up with the sexual harrassment. To do otherwise would be to bow to our ghastly Western ideology about how to be a woman.
