This is actually kind of interesting, because Jordan Peterson says that the gender pay gap is partially because uncooperativeness is what gets people promoted. But he didn't study Japan:

Then, what is the cause of wage disparity between men and women? Professor Peterson said that the factor that works significantly during career advancement is "not cooperative". People with no cooperativeness have "aggressive leadership" to conform the surroundings, which means that they play a major role in promotion. Professor Peterson thinks that women are more cooperative because they are more delicate than men and that difficulties in becoming managers leads to wage disparities between men and women.

So perhaps the "feminists" will be a little vindicated that there are also cultural reasons as well.
