Koyama of Spokane, a retired
Army colonel, for another
heartwarming story. It begins
in 1944 at an American POW
camp at Hollandia, New
Guinea, commanded by Cpt.
Gene Pierce. Among the
1,000 prisoners was a Japan­

Takayama. Koyama was one
of about a dozen Nisei inter­
rogators on pierce's staff.
The Nisei treated the Ja­
panese decently, and Takaya­
ma never forgot.

camp for other assignments.

Americans
con­
sider Japan an unreconstruc­
ted male-chauvinist society.
From a Western perspective,
that view is understandable
but wrong. Women here are
not oppressed. We outshine,
and even intimidate, the op­
posite sex.
“Japanese men nowadays
are wimps,” is a frequently
heard complaint. The critics
usually belong to the World
War II generation. In their 60s
and 70s, they are convinced
that the nation is going to the
dogs. Young people, they la­
ment, are taught that Japan
has renounced war; military
service is unthinkable to
them. Spoiled by easy living,
youth lacks direction and a
sense of purpose.
The older generation
knows how fragile peace and
prosperity can be. Good
things don't last forever. But
the worst crisis most Japan­
ese today can envisage is a
stock market crash or a
recession. Few worry about
human rights, world peace or
the environment.
Complacent But Different
Women, too, have become
complacent, but with a dif­
ference: while males seem
dispirited and trapped by
societal
expectations,
females are outgoing,
carefree and optimistic.
Young men lack traditional
masculine pride but find it de­
meaning to be outdone by the
other sex. When females out­
perform them, they resort to
malicious gossip or even sex­
ual harassment to even the
score.
Many of my male col­
leagues insist on calling me
by my first name. Japanese
use patronyms even with
close friends; first names are
normally reserved for chil­
dren and immediate family
members. When I protest,
they say, “Other women like
it. What's wrong with you?”
Such patronizing attitudes
reflect a deep-seated in­
security.
Men today feel threatened.
Many reacted by repressing
their feelings and their
creativity.
Male Passivity
According to one theory,
male passivity begins in
childhood. Forced to cram
day and night to get good
grades, Japanese boys burn
out by their midteens.
Although girls, too, must
study hard, they retain their
verve.
Some studies in cerebral
physiology suggest that the
different reactions to stress
stem from the way the brain
develops in and men and
women. Females tend to use
the left side of the brain,
which controls language
skills and pattern recogni­

On Changing Jobs

tions have increased dramati­
cally in the past few years,

whereas females can relax
and let nature take its course.
This may explain why women
generally have stronger con­
stitutions than men and
outlive them.
When biologically fitter
women acquire assertive
male mannerisms, they
threaten the male identity. At
the office, for example, a man
may have to defer all day to a
female boss and then pamper
a demanding wife when he
returns home in the evening.
He can never relax and be

I was amazed when a
worldwide poll released by
the Washington-based Popu­
lation Crisis Committee in
June 1988 ranked Japanese
women 34th in terms of over­
all status. They survey evalu­
ated female adults in 99
countries based on health,
marriage and children, educa­
tion, employent and social
equality.
We finished far behind the
West in every instance and
behind many East European
countries, too. Depending on
the category, even such Third
World nations as Chile, Costa
Rica and Uruguay did better.
In Asia, China, Taiwan, Hong
Kong, Singapore, and the
Philippines outperformed us.
Misleading Figures
These statistics are com­
pletely misleading. Japanese
women are not subjugated.
Granted, in the business
world, women are paid less
than men and receive fewer
promotions. But less is
demanded of us, and we can
take advantage of belonging
to “the fairer sex.”
If we make a mistake, for
example, a few tears will put
everything right, whereas a
man might lose a promotion.
Having fewer real respon­
sibilities, we are not subject
to the pressures that give our
male colleagues ulcers.
Critics will say this proves
that females are subservient.
But there is a trade-off. At
home, women have enor­
mous responsibility. They run
the household and control
the purse strings. Most are
happy with the status quo.
