Abstract
Queer Japanese women do not hold power in their own country. Using Fabienne Darling-Wolf's "Women and New Men: Negotiating Masculinity in the Japanese Media" as a starting point, I investigate the reasoning behind the imbalance of power in Japanese culture. As a result of an Eastern country with Western influences, Japan still oppresses their women and does not give them as much freedom as men, and the country's heteronormative standards heavily favor the men in terms of flexibility. This project investigates cultural influences along with queer theory and poses solutions in hopes to eradicate the toxic implications that a patriarchal society surrounds queer Japanese women.
