Female selflessness in anime

Are Japanese women really as open to sharing their man as anime and manga suggest? I ask because it comes up a lot in romcoms and isekai, even if they don't end that way, that girls are very open minded to letting their beloved man keep other wives/girlfriends. It seems to be a much healthier mindset that the selfish "back off bitch, he's mine" attitude that western women have. Good men should be shared so nobody has to end up with bad men.

tl;dr: a hundred years ago, sure.
Now, no.

traditionally, japanese culture had much different ideas of fidelity and relationship structure.
modernization, westernization, and christianity pretty much obliterated those ideals long before your grandparents were born.
Nowadays japanese culture mirrors off of western culture.

Then why is is still so prevalent in anime/manga? Art is usual a reflection of culture, so it makes little sense for it to continue if modern japanese women were hostile to it. In fact there are many works by Japanese women the extoll the benefits of sharing a man (Hare Kon, Gundam IBO come to mind).

The target audience is male, that's all you need to know.

Your inability to separate anime and manga from reality is troubling, if unsurprising.

You say that the target audience is male, but in context of the story it is usually the male who is hesitant to accept the situation, which would seem counterintuitive if this were the case. If it was meant to appeal to the male audience wouldn't they be more receptive to the male being all for it or even proactive in attaining it? Whereas usually in works where polygamy is the end goal it is largely the females who work towards it and convince the male to accept it, thus suggesting that it is primarily a sympathetic objective to the female viewer.
I can separate them just fine thanks. What you're suggesting is that the preponderance of Japanese characters eating rice in anime is no reflection of Japanese rice-eating habits.

>What you're suggesting
What you're suggesting is that cartoons and comic books are reflective of real life. Do you live in a pineapple under the sea?

I do not. I live in a house in a small town well above sea level. It was built in 1932, so quite old, but has been kept up and the foundation is in very good shape for its age. But this is irrelevant.
Yes, works of fiction take liberties with reality in order to create a more compelling narrative, I understand this. Certainly you can say that anime differs in terms of superpowers, the supernatural, and those that veer off into high fantasy. But the core attitudes of society are often maintained at least in spirit so as to remain relatable to the audience, and since this one is imminently featured across the entirety of the medium I am inclined to believe that Japanese women are, at least in general, more inclined towards recognizing the sweeping ways which a male-centric polyamorous interrelative situation benefits them.

>but in context of the story it is usually the male who is hesitant to accept the situation, which would seem counterintuitive if this were the case.
The male refuses because if he were to accept you'd get Redo of Healer, which hurts the marketability of the franchise in the mainstream. It's the middle ground where you get the fantasy of a harem, but also plausible deniabilty for why they don't spend all day fucking.
