EndOfTheWorld, I don't... quite think you understood what people are talking about here... The failed relationship isn't the anti-feminist/feminist issue, nor has anyone claimed it to be, I fail to see how you could understand it that way. I recommend you read through people's points again!
Pointing out sexism and problems in society that harms women is in no way making women "helpless victims", it's pointing out the issues we're trying to fix and make better, improve? So the opposite of
helplessness, as I see it. Just sounds like a strawman from a person who doesn't understand the concept.

I would have to agree with orbitalaspect that just because Japan has a different culture than the one you know, doesn't make it misogynist.

Yes... it does? Huh? I don't get your argument. Misogyny is dislike, hatred of women, discrimination and prejudice against women, how does that change because it's "different culture"? When I look up the definition of word "Misogynist/misogyny" it doesn't seem to exclude Japanese culture. Do correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm preeeeeetty certain I'm not!
Do we have to accept discrimination and unfair treatment of women because it's "part of their culture"? You say you support equality for all people, but it has been and still is part of every culture? You say Japanese culture is not perfect and needs more equality but then argue against those who point out the unjust and inequality?
I really, really do not get your argument, sorry.
Someone pointed out how sexist media is against her, pointing out how she's put down because she's a woman (as it's been agreed that women indeed are treated far worse/harsher than men are), wording as if her divorcing her husband is a crime she's committing, so now we're...
using her for something? If you see something unjust happening to someone and you point it out or/and try to fix it/change it, you're only using the target to "promote your agenda"? Really now...

It's probably difficult to notice, but about everything is a societal issue. More or less. She's a celebrity, and that doesn't exclude the part where she's a woman, a human being, and those societal issues affect her just as much as anyone else.
