<p><em>The issue of gender equality is still a problem attached to the Japanese economic, social, political, and cultural system. The movement for Japanese liberation efforts and strived since the middle of the twentieth century is still stagnating. This problem remains inseparable from how stakeholders maintain a conservative thought. Women in the domestic sphere and women are the person who does not have the capacities as men are still the basis for reason. This paper will review how gender inequality is still a severe issue that needs to be fought for in the twenty-first century.</em></p><p class="abstrak"><span lang="EN-US">Isu kesetaraan gender masih berupa permasalahan yang erat melekat dalam sistem ekonomi, sosial, politik dan budaya Jepang. Pergerakan upaya liberasi Jepang yang telah diperjuangkan sejak pertengahan abad ke dua puluh sampai saat ini masih mengalami stagnansi. Keberlanjutan isu ini tidak terlepas dari bagaimana sebuah konstruksi berpikir konservatif tetap dipertahankan oleh pemangku kepentingan. Perempuan dengan ranah domestik dan perempuan tidak memiliki kapasitas yang mumpuni daripada laki-laki masih menjadi dasar berpikir dalam permasalahan ini. Tulisan ini akan mengulas bagaimana isu ketimpangan gender masih merupakan isu serius yang perlu diperjuangkan di abad ke dua puluh satu.</span></p>

Victorian Age

England’s Victorian Age was pregnant with the seeds of social change, inter-sown with the nutrients of personal and national introspection. Within this upheaval, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Charles Dicken’s Hard Times expose concerns about the position and value of Victorian females. This stereotypical portrayal of their characters can be transplanted to the current, twenty-first century struggle with gender equality. Exploration of our past can light our present as well as illuminate our gendered/non-gendered future.

The Way

Japan’s Gender Equality Law was introduced in 1999, followed by the passage of municipal gender equality ordinances throughout the country. A backlash against feminism then occurred as a reaction to the perceived “invasion” of feminism in the local political arena. Based on the author’s long-term fieldwork with anti-feminist conservatives, the chapter discusses the conflicts between feminists and conservatives in local communities, particularly concerning gender equality ordinances in Ube City in Yamaguchi prefecture and Miyakonojō City in Miyazaki Prefecture. These examples demonstrate that the way that gender equality ordinances were introduced and imposed from the center to the periphery, as well as questions of sexual orientation, were the anti-feminists’ prime concerns. The chapter also addresses the recent state of feminism, especially under the ultra-conservative Abe administration, in power since 2012. Both feminist and anti-feminist movements were at a crossroads in the changing landscape of a politically charged Japan since the early 2000s.
