Feminism in Japan

Re “Me, Find a Husband? Later, Maybe,” June 26: The young, single women of Japan who are enjoying unprecedented freedoms and choices may consider “feminist” a pejorative, but it is feminism that got them where they are today. Economic freedom, the choice not to marry or not to have children, the ability to be self-determining--these are freedoms I relish every day of my life, hard won by those darn ol’ feminists. Perhaps a little arigato would be in order.
