What an interesting prompt. I say that because even in America I don’t think of gender. Being pretty apathetic to gender and sexuality as a whole I never really thought about the social implications of gender in Japan. Other than not being able to use masculine mannerisms in speaking, I haven’t noticed anything different about being female in Japan. I get treated pretty well, never talked down to, and in fact I’ve found that I can be pitied a lot faster just because I’m female, and it’s rather fantastic when you’re lost and a whimpering mess, I won’t lie.
