No, but I think being frank about it is the first step to actually having a discussion about it.
You support traditional monarchies that are sexist in their structure like Japan. So it seems interesting you find sexist traditions inherently wrong.
I am against legally imposed sexism but I understand traditional organizations have traditional gender roles.
The sangha in a lot of countries have arbitrarily sexist double standards and should be criticized and reformed by those national communities. Women have in the past succeeded to the Japanese throne, albeit rarely and limitedly, and could be allowed to succeed to the throne again, although for historical reasons this would need to be patrilineal. Most sexist standards are the product of cultural and not theological reasons (such as women being barred from mountains for being considered impure during menstruation) and can be dismantled without giving way to liberalism. I would support the same for other monarchies, I would rather have an absolutist and religious queen then a liberal king.
