What you say can indeed be true, I can only speak from my limited personal experience while visiting the country (I tried to be very attentive):
To me, what you speak of didn't even occur to me while studying the women I saw. Not even once. For the most part, if I am to generalize, what struck me about them were that they all seemed to be extremely hard-working (Whether at a job or as mothers, I saw both.). "Dependable", "reliable" are words that I could use to describe how I perceived them. Thoughtful and kind also, but again, stupid gaijin speaking over here.
The mothers I saw with their kids seemed so caring and attentive to their children it was heart-warming.
On top of all of this, almost every one of them is gorgeous. They have nice hair. They aren't covered in tattoos and piercings. They aren't dressed like whores. They have beautiful legs (From all the walking, cycling and standing on trains, I'm assuming.). They are polite and humble. And they wear the cutest socks I've ever seen.
Even the mothers who just had new-born babies were somehow skinny and fit.
Suffice to say, when I arrived back in North America, I had an instant feeling of disgust when faced with the filthy fucking cows. And this last statement is no exaggeration, my friend. Thank the heavens for 2D or I would be in a very dark place these days, after discovering what things could be.
In any case, these are just my observations from the short time I had there. I'm sure it's not all milk and honey and that I am ignorant to a lot of details about their private lives; I just wanted to share my two cents.
On top of that, a lot of the above characteristics I could also attribute to Japanese men. Things such as: Most dress nice and are fit and lean and are hard-working, etc.
