How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”

How do you see these below?

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

Why is Prince Harry being fired by BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux, and what role did Marc Benioff’s decision to pull sponsorship play in this?

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

Why am I dreaming of people I've never seen before?

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

How do professional musicians handle their equipment during gigs? Do they bring their own or use the venue's sound system?

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

Yaoi

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).
