Do you agree with this Japanese woman about white women in the west?

Hmm this "Japanese woman" brings up some interesting points. But whenever someone over-generalizes about an entire race/culture etc., it shows a lack of awareness. To suggest that "the reason why western white women are unhappy is because of x" is dumb logic and certainly isn't something that can be summed up in a single paragraph. The issues facing Western civilization are much more complex and nuanced than what this person is suggesting.
So this person's solution would be to go back to the 1800's where gender roles were more defined? Is she suggesting that there were no problems back then? That it was some perfect utopia of Western civilization? That's a ridiculous thing to say and anyone with a minimal understanding of history knows that's not true at all.
Also her statement that "men have no privilege and women have all the privilege" is yet again a very dumb thing to say. I won't argue privilege because that word has been so tainted in recent years that it's lost all meaning. There are clear advantages to being a man and there are clear advantages to being a woman and that's that.
All that said, whoever this "Japanese woman" is, she needs to study basic history and sociology before making these broad blanket statements based on her limited worldview.
@soratoumiga: Saying she's not a Japanese woman doesn't help, either.
@king_majestros: Lol, what? The entire point is to show how a different society thinks about Western society, in certain aspects. Hence me saying that's probably not a Japanese woman, based on the fact that there's nothing to prove she is, besides her/his statement.
@soratoumiga: You didn't say "probably not a Japanese woman;" you said "and this is not a Japanese woman lol." And "an anime profile pic doesn't really prove it." You either know who she is behind the profile, or you're asserting a generalization. Even then, her saying she's a Japanese woman but in real life is a male doesn't exactly prove her/his case wrong.
@king_majestros: I'm not asserting a generalization, nor did I ever say it's a male behind that profile, I'm going by logical conclusion, presented by what we have here. The fact remains that most Japanese people don't even use YouTube, nor do they use anime pfps, that's unironically a Western thing to do, and most importantly, they are not taught this and don't generally think this way. You can say that I don't 100% know, but neither do you, or any of us, therefore, we go by what we know in the general sense, and we can only logically conclude that's not a Japanese woman.
@soratoumiga: "The fact remains that most Japanese people don't even use YouTube"
Do Japanese virtual Youtubers count as Japanese ?
@mimisalome: I said most.
@soratoumiga: I just asking because they look like anime character as well
