Answer to question 11,12,13

投稿者: -
Hello! Here is the today's question.
11.What are the examples that men and women are treated not equally in Japan?
12.→How is it different from other countries?
13.How would the world change if everything are completely equal between men and women?

On my survey I asked this question.
Do you think these examples show inequality?
・women's only train
・ladies day
・difference of marriageable age
*These are common in Japan.


As we can understand from this result, these examples are recognized as a kind of gender inequality in Japan and there will be more examples. For example, working situation.
I found an interesting article.
Japan slides to 111th in WEF gender equality rankings. (n.d.). Retrieved July 28, 2017, from <http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/10/26/national/social-issues/japan-slips-10-notches-111th-wef-gender-equality-rankings/#.WXrSVWXmk9c>
According to it, Japan has ranked in 111th in The Global Gender Gap Report in 2016 conducted by World Economic Forum and especially as for professional and technical workers, gender gap are recognized the most.

This is result of The Gender Global Gap Report in 2016.
Rankings." Global Gender Gap Report 2016. N.p., n.d. Web. 28 July 2017. <http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2016/rankings/>.
I'll introduce top10 countries.
1. Iceland
2. Finland
3. Norway
4. Sweden
5. Rwanda
6. Ireland
7. Phillippines
8. Slovenia
9. New Zealand
10. Nicaragua

Gender equality is important. However, how this world would change if everything are completely equal? I think it is impossible. Equality doesn't mean "sameness." Being different is natural and we have to accept it. Then, we require gender equality based on the concept.
Thank you for reading.

Our current thinking

投稿者: -
Hello! We're sorry to change the order of posting. We're going to talk about our current thinking about feminism before starting a research. To be honest, we haven't known about feminism anything since we started this blog. We couldn't explain even the concept of the "feminism" clearly.  We assume feminism is not so familiar to many people in Japan. When we did a small discussion in our class, many of our classmates answered they didn't know a lot as well. However, it's time to know and think about feminism because we think it is closely related to human rights in a broad sense. In other words, in order to establish women's right, we have to respect not only women but also men. However, we have one question. Is it really good for us to make everything equal between men and women in every kind of situation? What exactly does it mean to establish women's right? We're going to do some research and try to identify these questions! Than...

Hello! Today I would like to show the survey result of my survey. https://jp.surveymonkey.com/r/JQWGSJG Thank you for answering these questions!! There were 7 Japanese people who have answered my survey thankfully. Now these are some question and results from my survey! Q.3 Do you think that women are treated fairly in society? I thought this was the good ratio because in these days women are able to work as same as men. However, there are still some thoughts that men is stronger than women in the society.  Q4. Do you think that both genders are entitled to the same social, economic, and political rights? I was surprised that nobody had answered "No". This shows Japan has been changing to more gender free country. Q9. Do you think that "Feminism" might lead to discrimination against men? This also surprised me because I thought more people would answer "Yes" to this question. I think strong complaints o...
