I didn't link to the wrong thing. If you read that article the top cities excluding Nara are all in greater Tokyo. The max time for Kanagawa is not reported, the average time for Kanagawa is 90 minutes (for men with kids under 6). Your calculations are median / max / average of averages.

+/- 3 sigma = 99.7% of the sample, and we know 3% is > 2 hours (for all of Japan, not Tokyo). There's near the same percentage of LGBT adults in the US (~4%).

All we're arguing over is the use of the word normal. Would you be happier with "uncommon but not an extreme outlier"?
