Is gender equality a concern for men?
The benefits of gender equality imply change for both men and women. More equal relationships depend on redefining the rights and responsibilities of women and men in all spheres of life, including family, work and society. It is, therefore, important that gender be ignored as an element of men’s social identity. This fact is often overlooked because the tendency to consider male character traits and characteristics as the norm is considered a variation of the norm for women.
Genji turns out to be an extraordinary, beautiful and talented young man whom Lady Cockidon and his family fear, but everyone appreciates. Following the fun exploits of Heen-Kyo and the diverse women around, the first part of the tel establishes a friendship with To No No Chujo and arranges a marriage with To No No Chujo’s sister Ioi, interrupting the birth of a son and growing relationships with the youth.
Meanwhile, the old emperor dies, and the son of Lady Cockidon comes after him. Genji’s interesting conspiracy theories stirred in court and he lives in Zuma, far from the capital. In the second part of the story, Genji Harima meets Lady Akashi, the former governor and daughter.

I don’t think
The Tale of Genji is centred around a man who has various relationships with other women in society. It merely tells us that men always and will have several sex partners. The idea of having one partner is a forgone thing for men. On the other hand, women easily get influenced by men who they end up engaging in one way or the other, leading to children who even do not know their fathers. I think this is ongoing in our society today. However, do you think men can change? Or women can change? If this is possible, then we will have a society with one partner, and the issue of polygamous marriage will end.

Modern relationship, people have forgotten their roles.
There are two basic assumptions about Genghis love affair. One, which has been established for centuries and still exists today, takes the position that the narrator has repeatedly taken because Genji is all inevitable; He values the character as much as he values himself; He never left the woman he had an affair with. These are great and admirable traits, and both men and women have praised Genji for representing the ideal. However, there has been a recent backlash against this view elsewhere in Japan and North America. Compared to modern times, men abandon or abandon the women they associate with. I can say that this is a moral breakdown.
