No es sol todo lo que reluce y nace en Japón. Las 'Nadeshiko', las jugadoras de la selección japonesa de fútbol femenino, actuales campeonas del mundo, han sido discriminadas por su propia federación. Esto, desgraciadamente, no es una sorpresa en Japón, un país avanzado en muchas cuestiones, pero tremendamente anticuado en lo que respecta al progreso de la mujer.
Yamato Nadeshiko (大和撫子?) is a Japanese term meaning "personification of an idealized Japanese woman", "ideal" in the historical context of the patriarchal, traditional culture of Japan. [...] Also known as an ideal Japanese woman per Confucianism, it revolves around acting for the benefit of the family and following instructions or acting in the best interest of patriarchal authority figures. Virtues include loyalty, domestic ability, wisdom, and humility.
During World War II, the idea of Yamato Nadeshiko was influenced by war-time propaganda. A Yamato Nadeshiko should be able to endure all the pain and poverty of life for her husband (a soldier) and the country, and should always be ready to fight with naginata or take yari and to be ready to die at any time, for her country or to keep her chastity, in a similar way to bushido.
(En caso de que no quede claro: "Yamato Nadeshiko" se traduce más o menos como "clavel japonés" con una de las palabras más arcaicas para designar a Japón)
