Japan is lower than you otherwise think it would be due to the low status of women.

Technically you're right. For example both Japan and SK overall have higher HDI than USA, but if we break down that into genders/sex, HDI of men in Japan and SK are still higher than men in America, but HDI of women in America is higher than that of Japan and SK.
