It's kind of the same situation in Japan. Check this documentary to learn about Japan's Westein except he didn't get cancelled at all and he still well respected by many. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator:_The_Secret_Scandal_of_J-Pop

I'm not from NA and I don't think that's specific to NA, I saw this in people from Western Europe, Northern Africa and Japan. Also whatever positive aspect of traditional culture there may be, everything seems to get crushed by the social media bulldozer consumeing hours a day from childhood.

All the Tokyo parks will have blossom in a prettier setting but they will be overcrowded for the peak of Hanami. Big temples and castles will also have pretty gardens with blossom. If you get there before cherry blossom, you can also see plum and peach blossom which is pretty too, but not as spectacular in volume. I don't think there's much natural about cherry blossom, it is a deliberate thing. For more nature, look for the popular mounts and mountains, some are very accessible by public transportation like Mount Takao or the various mounts in Hakone.

Similar experience, but for me it's engineering company with only people with masters, vs sports association with full diversity of backgrounds.

Agreed, masculists, especially the young ones, are mostly socially anxious and socially scared people who find shelter from their anxiety by oppressing another group. The solution is probably to work on this social anxiety from childhood.

I don't deny that the current experience of life is different because of gender/sex. So I am rather talking about the target, a society without sexism.

Is it really so difficult to accept that men might find purpose or value that differs from women?

Yes, I am indeed questioning this point. Is this difference in the essence of the gender or is it a social construct?

For me, it's actually not hard to imagine that men and women could share the same distribution of purposes and values, if the environment in which they grew up supported it. The diversity would be based on the uniqueness of individuals with little to no influence from the gender.

I find it very oppressing to have the specific framework you mention associated to you because of your gender. What about transgender people or people who don't associate with a traditional gender?

Kind of agree, and so are modern cities in Japan in general, everything is asphyxiated under concrete, including river, and there's no attempt at regulating construction to create an aesthetic.

And in vacuum, if I understood correctly⸮

Any correlation with the people's socioeconomic background?

Do we really need to make the framework different for male and female humans? Why not use one for humans and teach tolerance to difference in general? I don't think many of the issues we face will be solved if we keep two different frameworks.
