Depends on what you call "pushing". The west seems to push women into non-female roles, and the others into female roles. It's hard to get that kind of variety

It's hard to get that kind of variety into a single society. So it's nice that societies differ.
- astrange 6y agoFemale and non-female roles in societies are assigned post-hoc. Is having a college degree female? Owning the family bank account? The answers to these are different in the US and Japan, and they're different now and in 1990.
