From the perspective of gender theory, this paper studies the specific
manifestations and causes of misogyny in modern Japanese families. Misogyny
is a “symptom” of widespread social hate or contempt for women. It is reflected
in the father, mother, son and daughter as family members respectively. The
reason why there is such misogyny is related to the influence of the “revised”
patriarchy, which was “corrected” by law after the Meiji Restoration, on family
status and division of labor, industrialization, and the connotation of family
education advocated in modern times.
