For some reason from all that i've seen and read and studied it seems like it. Here's some examples: they hang out with eachother so much much more than with the husband who may work till late, they are into cuteness culture and wear cute clothes and then keep commenting on eachother about how 'kawaii" they are, they idolize cute female pop singers , the anime thing lets them play around with lesbianism and even girls go to clubs one dressed as male and then she carries the other on her lap and act out as man, I've seen various jpop cutesy pop group girls that turn lesbian, and i'm not even a japanophile i just read about things sometimes so i can learn about culture. seems like they would rather be with women and have fun togther then have any male contact.

i don't know but it seems like it. I've never gone to japan , but from what i've seen in fuji shows and what i've read and the foreign japanese students i've seen in america, that's the impression i get.

so what's the reality?
 
Now I'm worried

I go to the Rocky Horror Show dressed in drag. Does that make me gay?:unsure:
 
well i'm just wondering things.. can't i? i've seen plenty of people ask question s about anything they want. what's wrong with it? if you don't like it, don't answer
 
Ummm......Just because some women would rather hang out with their female friends and are close to them, I don't think that would qualify them as being lesbians.
 
One way to find out is to do a survey on the number of Google hits for Britney Spears' panty-less photos originated from Japanese females' computers.
 
I just see these japanese are some how open minded... some how... Not that japan is infested with homosexuals, but.. open minded..

I agree with this, and would also add not to judge Japan by anime and J-dramas. That's like thinking all Americans are like the characters on American TV shows, which is obviously not true. :p
 
I'm with Ma Cherie-san and doinkies-chan, I have never met any Japanese lesbians since I was born.ツ I'm just guessing there should be some lesbians somewhere in Japan, but they don't really come outツ because of the prejudice we still have against gays here.
 
Yeah, I know of a couple Japanese lesbians out there, like the josei mangaka やまじえびね (Yamaji Ebine). She's also done quite a few josei manga about lesbian relationships.
 
True. Japan is just an more open minded society that America. We may think it's gay for a girl to say another girl is cute, when it's not. Or when a girl sits on another girls lap. People in America just make assumptions too much, it's in our nature mostly.

Any women can have more fun with their girl friends. It's natural. Why? Because women can relate more to one another than with men. Sometimes hanging out with a man brings about nervousness or pressure within most females. This coming from a female perspective.

Sure lesbianism exist in Japan, but these aren't proper examples of it.
 
It may be wrong to say so because you don't have a Japanese or Asian girlfriend yet, but your further cross-cultural research would be more interesting on physical contact between same gender.
My non-Japanese friend was complaining of innocent questions, "May I touch?", by some Japanese women.
 
they are into cuteness culture and wear cute clothes?


If this makes one a lesbian then at least 70% of the females I know are lesbians. We hug, hold hands, grab at various body parts ('_'*), and sit on each others laps on a daily basis.
 
You've figured out the secret! Now don't tell anyone else!

But seriously, I wouldn't say that they are lesbian. It is possible that they are bisexual though. It is also possible that they just admire the same sex. I have seen a number of women in Japan that love to touch other women's bodies and are always commenting on the skin or breasts or overall figure. That doesn't make them lesbian though.

I think that you need to perform some actual research on the subject.

True. Japan is just an more open minded society that America.

I wouldn't go as far to say that! They may not comment on certain subjects, but that doesn't make them more open minded. Just more reserved and introverted.

getting shot down by Japanese girls does not qualify as empirical evidence that they are lesbians. Nice try.

:D
That was funny.

And nice gaijin, I thought the same exact thing the second I and read this thread...
 
It is odd that nobody (or at least not too many) raises their eyebrows when one woman/girl will ask another to go to the restroom with her. If a guy were to ask another guy the same thing, immediately people would think they were from "Brokeback Mountain."

The reality is that if most were lesbian they would long since have left their husbands and families and set up a semi-autonomous free love state within their own country. The reality is that lesbians are normally not more than 6-7% of the population of any country so this would be a naturally occuring aberration like never before in the history of the world. Hmmm, now you've got me thinking, though, maybe those long hours salarymen put in are starting to have unexpected consequences....little wonder why the population continues to slide, ne ??? :p

This is very true, I believe. A good example is that a lot of people see Cosplay, or bands like Antique Cafe, or Miyavi, or whichever Visual bands that exist out there, and think that Japan must be a very open country towards homosexuals, which, (without having any personal experience in any sort of obersvation of predjudice, I am told by Japanse that) it is not.

At first, I did, and still do not understand the exact reasons, fetish, or otherwise, that there was so much attention paid to Kaba-chan, and some of the other openly gay tarento, especially the ample attention given to Nong Toom, the Thai kickboxer who became (a rather beautiful, I might add) woman... There is a movie about this subject called "Beautiful Boxer", if people are interested in this particular person.

But then, here in America we have "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", the british import "Queer as Folk", "The L Word", gay-subtext on television shows like "Six feet Under", etcetera etcetera... so the gay-centric entertainment quotient is sizeably larger.
