queen of japan

Some may have heard of the great news from far east. a possible heir of japans holy throne has been born. not a descendant from the current crown prince, but from his brother.
now, some may have heard about the controversy surrounding the crownprincess, who was put under so much pressure to give birth to a male child that she became depressed, had several miscarriages and will probably never give birth to any baby any more. despite all this, she managed to have a child in the end. a girl - unfortunately.
tradition says, a boy only can receive the crown. should constitutional rules change to make this little girl the future emperor? fractions pro point to history, where once there has been a female emperor(use google), to make a point for female rights that is. but fractions against had hoped for a boy and seem to be getting upper hand now. no immediate need to discuss this matter, as koizumi stated.
why such a fuzz, you ask. some of the greatest monarchies in europe have female heads... god save them. lets try to look at a little bit of background for a minute.

most of you dear readers might suspect (encouraged through ever reoccuring television footage about japanese perverted sexuality like the used panties lovers or obsession with lolita and schoolgirl sex) that all is due to the surpressed role of females in modern japan, the lack of emancipation. This might be a good thought. just to give one example, it seems to be common practice for a woman to get married and stop working right after in order to devote all of her energy to household and children management. Best example is the wife of the crown prince herself, poor darling...
we know that women are great mysteries of nature and men often announce they wouldn't understand women, or their actions for a fact. if western men are puzzled by woman, japanese men are downright frightened of them (usually, the woman approaches the man, like on valentine's day where girls give boys some sweets ;)
in my opinion fear of woman explains the fetish for schoolgirls and alike. they can be - if not understood - controlled and theoretically forced into doing whatever...
However, why can't a woman become the emperor in the opinion of old-geezer traditionalists? the answer: the greatest fears of japanese pair up: xenophobia and gynophobia.
The question tradionalists ask the public is: what if she traveled abroad and comes back with a foreign husband?

picture shows princess aiko, fishing. she won't become queen, it seems.
