How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

Scientists discover a 33-foot Jurassic giant, twice as big as its cousin - Earth.com

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

How do you see these below?

Will my parents go to hell if I don't wear hijab, they tried to convince me and they provided it to me but I don't want to wear it?

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

What are some things that children used to wait for, but are no longer common in today's society?

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

Visual-kei

Is it right to visit any shrine or tomb in Islam?

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.
