I remain continually baffled by what does and doesn't make the rounds on news media and pop culture.  For example, the military does things like "Jade Helm" all the time (including designating parts of the country "enemy territory"), but now it's a problem.

I also remember being stationed at Fort Knox, when one of the railroads had a derailment and chemical leak followed by an explosion that hospitalized three people and shut down a major highway for a week, forced the evacuation of an entire town, and shut down the ammunition supply point for the Fort (it was in the evacuation zone).  Not a peep on the national media, but there was a quick story on CNN.com that week about a minor derailment elsewhere with no major effect on the surrounding community.  Why that second one rated a mention in national news while the former didn't I was never able to figure out.  Granted, it would never have been a headliner, because this was the week of Hurricane Sandy, but how one caught the attention of a story writer at the national level while the other didn't was bemusing.

2 Every so often, a few of them do suddenly notice that Japan exists, and is basically hell for gender relations. Some heads explode, some protests fire up and then peter out as they realize that Japan simply doesn't particularly care about their opinion. It's hard to sustain an effort against the kind of "meh" which Japan offers the opinions of a few foreigners.

Subsidized dating, rape simulator video games, subway groping pandemics, a completely cavalier attitude toward the age of consent, and ubiquitous pornography...

The protests can't reasonably threaten anyone who can actually do anything about any of those things. They can't ostracize people from a different society who wouldn't particularly want to share their company in the first place.

3 I'm pretty sure Japan cares, and a lot. The evidence is not only the propaganda flicks like Taishou Yakyuu Musume, but e.g. Kinoshita being berated for sexist remarks in Shirobako. Feminists and SJW use Japanese's character of shame and the desire to be recognized (in a family of civilized nations e.g. by Brussels too) in order to manhandle Japanese elite into the desirable bed.

4 If you believed the New York Times in 2011, Japan yielded to international pressure with a "crackdown on loli manga and junior idols". If you believe Amazon Japan today, not so much. The public face slapped some wrists and Promised To Change, while the real face was cruising the playgrounds for fresh talent.

5 Well, at least they don't sell used girls underwear out of vending machines any more...

6 Eh, Japan really isn't hell for gender relations, especially when compared to the Western World.  What it is, though, is a conformist society, and that's what really pisses off the SJW/Feminist types to no end.  It's also what produces such amazingly insane niches all over the place.  
Though that Japan may actually be the living proof of the Pareto Principle is quite hilarious.  Some of the studies are pointing to the possibility that 20% of Japanese society has all of the sex, and the other 80% is all but functionally sexless.  Which is how you can get all of the insane sex stories out of Japan, yet it's still a functioning society that shows up to work everyday.   They're practically two different worlds within the same country.  

7 I don't know why anyone in the SJW/PC crowd would want to take the pleasure of squishy bewb figurine collecting away from anyone, or any other pleasure for that matter, but I take great comfort that in the event of some sort of TEOTWAWKI situation those types of people should get sorted out in pretty short order.

The classic definition of a "puritan" is "a person gnawed by the knowledge that someone, somewhere, is having a good time."

SJW's are the modern puritans.
