One factor not mentioned in the article is how highly gendered Japanese as a language has been since the 1800s. There are almost parallel sets of ways of speaking for men and women with different vocabulary for the most commonly used words. This tends to force women into more deferential language, but it has slowly been changing with the younger generations. |
