Somewhat accurate, but the test is very weird. A lot of questions seem to actually relate to neurodiversity rather than to gender

I'm thinking about stigmatization, including for the families.

Hikikomori is not limited to Japan, it's a global phenomenon.

One of the parallels (I didn't say similarity) is that (young) people are supposed to be active, outgoing, succesful in society, etc. On the same level, (young) people are supposed to have romantic attachment, mostly planning for children, etc.

If not the case, stigmatization of these behaviours, the same for their families if their society expressly intends for them to act "correctly"...

Still, that's not the same in most cases. It probably depends, but a lot of people become hikikomori because of social anxiety, agoraphobia or other mental health issues. And actually you should be succesful in society if you can, like have a job for money or simular things, that's good for you... You can live without romance, but it's hard to live without money or acquaintances
