Not really. Japan is still a pretty bad place to be if you're a woman. Even in terms of love, you actually get a more even sharing of the burden between men and women (valentines day being girls give to guys, with reciprocation only on White Day one month later). Otherwise they still face discrimination in a lot of stuff, and face more pressure to be married sooner. While it may be that the expectations of what Japanese women want out of their man has gotten out of hand on their part, things are still mostly tilted against them.

And the reason Japan has dropped behind other countries is because they haven't modernized for a system of free love and unconventional families. The Koseki system being the kicker here, it is believed if this system were changed such that the cultural stigma against unwed/divorced mothers went away, more children would be had. The funny part is that they *are* more liberal when it comes to marriage and divorce, or at least the whole process is easier. In both cases, go to your local bureaucracy, both put your seal on a form, pay a fee, and you're out.

Interesting. Maybe this carnivore girl scene is instead a reaction to women's inequality in Japan? A sort of feminist movement?

I just find it hard to believe this all started because Japanese boys decided it was cool to be emo...
