We've banned this account for perpetuating flamewar on HN. Your first comment in the thread was provocative but was possible to read as good faith. Your replies are not—you're tossing Molotov cocktails, and making it clear that you're uninterested in using HN as intended. That's not cool.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

Japan is a lot more conservative of a society compared to North America and Europe. I've known University-educated women in Japan suddenly halt their careers to entirely cook and clean for a household. I don't think that's a totally un-apt comparison.
