"...comes from an understanding of western rape culture, and the culture/societal norms that form the background to these works operate on a different (but equally sucky) level."

Where did I say it was any better?

There is still far more of a culture of tolerance of and shame about not only rape but about women expressing any interest in sex or sexuality at all in Japan (where a woman taking an active role in sex makes most Japanese men feel either highly uncomfortable, or as though they're in a gay relationship because only men are supposed to be 'active' during sex, women are meant to be completely passive -- I think the phrase is/was translated as something like "(the woman) lies there like a tuna." i.e. does not contribute much to the proceedings). For all their many faults, how many Western men do you know who'd feel that way if their female partner took some initiative during sex?

I never once said that gender imbalance or rape culture doesn't exist in the West, but there is most certainly a more progressive attitude when compared to the cultural norms that still exist in Japan. Western women leaving the workplace (permanently) as soon as they have a child is viewed in a wholly different context in the West. In Japan it's what's expected of a woman, it's still intensely frowned upon to put career before family duty. On that societal score, they're where we were decades ago, and that's the background these women are writing their works against.
