If this narrator's attitude towards the women he encounters is indicative of womens' position in modern pre-war Japan, I'm really glad I'm not a woman in modern pre-war Japan. Specifically, his treatment of sex workers, and his young wife's sexual assault at the hands of an acquaintance, which he refers to as "her sin".
