How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

At what point did you realize it was the right time to leave your job?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.
