How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

My boyfriend has been separated from his wife for 5 years. Why won't he divorce her? Should this be a deal breaker?

Visual-kei

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”

What is the rudest/meanest thing a family member has said to you?

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

How do you see these below?

What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

Yaoi

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

If a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.
