Definitely Japan has a ways to go in terms of progressive attitudes with regards to gender. If I'm not mistaken, it's still legally permissible to discriminate based on gender. (For example even in a job listing you can restrict it to a specific gender.)
And in recent news, Japan medical universities got busted for discriminating against women to reduce female admissions. I guess it's a positive thing that it's considered a big scandal. That may just be on the surface though. It will take a while for old attitudes to die.
