元気かい meaning
I heard a phrase from a toy I bought in Japan which says:
元気かい !
This translates to "how are you" according to Google Translate. I understand the "Genki", but what does the "kai" mean in this context? Thanks.

Is Japan a Patriarchal Society?
Here in the United States, women have largely become equal to men. Despite what some women think, women do for the most part have equality of opportunity. I have read that Japan, in contrast, is still a society where women are not treated as equals, and is for the most part still a "male dominated" society. Can people from Japan, or who have recently lived in Japan, (both men and women) please comment on whether they think this is true or not? Please give specific examples in your responses to illustrate your point, and not just opinions, as this makes your comment more valid and verifiable.
Arigatou and Thank You!

A shopping bag - みつけたでちゅう
I bought a cute shopping bag in Harajuku on my last trip. On the bag, there is a picture of several animals talking, and one of them is saying:
"みつけたでちゅう"
What would be the best English translation of this?
I found it inside?
I found it everywhere?
Thanks!

"to omoimasu" meaning
The Japanese phrase "to omoimasu" is translated in English as "I think". However, "I think" in English can have two basic meanings:
1. To express doubt or uncertainty. Example: It is going to rain, I think. (It looks like rain, but I'm not sure.)
2. To express an opinion or view. Example: I think she is pretty. (In my opinion, she is pretty.)
Which of the two English uses does the phrase "to omoimasu" best correspond to?
Thanks.

Katakana double consonant and extension
I'm learning Katakana, and am confused in the difference between a double-consonant symbol (ッ) and the extender symbol (ー). What is the functional difference in the way these are actually pronounced in words?
For example, take the word "slipper", written two ways:
スリッパ
スリーパ
Which way is correct? What is the difference in pronunciation between the two?
Thank you!@
