Pflugfelder notes that early twentieth-century medical knowledge in Japan constructed heterosexuality as the norm of sexual desire and conceived of ‘male’ (dansei) and ‘female’ ( josei) accordingly in complementary terms. The categories comprised both physical attributes of sex and also gendered behavioural and personality characteristics. These included passivity in women and aggression in men, thereby ‘cementing’ the attributes as biological ‘fact’ (Pflugfelder 1999: 253). The restrictions placed on women’s lives were reinforced by the limited construction of rights (kenri), outlined in the Meiji Constitution.

They use the term ‘sexed bodies’ to convey the idea that the meanings and significance of the ways in which masculinity and femininity are experienced by the individual is fundamentally based on ideas about male and female bodies (Gatens 1996; Pringle 1992). Attention has also turned to analysing the ways in which discourses and practices mark the body as masculine or feminine (Bartky 1988; Cahill 2000: 43–63). This work, as will be discussed further on in this chapter, highlights the gendering effects of sexual violence.
