I was with you 100% until here. I don't think there is anything wrong with insinuating that or even downright saying it. Japan, while getting better, still to this day has a very deeply ingrained cultural misogyny, so deep that much of it's society both male and female is not able recognize it as such. But after five years of living there as a woman, I feel that it is very much true. However, it's only so obvious to me because that's not the culture I grew up in. That's what is normal to them, so its hard for me to say it's "wrong." But wrong or not, it is there.
And I do think this thread is an appropriate place to vent opinions like that because the reaction to a female celebrity getting divorced and that of a male celebrity getting divorced is relevant to the discussion.

To an extent, I agree. But, also I feel that what Ayu says or thinks she wants, isn't necessarily what she does. Marriage, honestly, might not be something that is actually suited to her and kids may not be something that she wants in actuality. In that regard, they would be a good match. But, obviously, it's up to them, haha. Just fun to speculate about.
