Review of 'The New Paradox for Japanese Women' on 'Storygraph'

More extensive review to come (it’s going to take some work treating the main arguments appropriately and in some cases rerunning data analyses), but the tldr is that the author does an incredible job ignoring the evidence to expound a backwards view on gender inequality. The policy recommendations flatly contradict the data he presents. It makes you wonder why he bothered.
