What would Asian and European women think?

My guess is that the typical woman buyer won't care too much about 4K or spending more for those 4K requirements (SD card, processing or editing power, software, time and effort for downsizing to HD, file transfer times..) I also think most such buyers will just use the kit OIS lens, which makes IBIS not really such an advantage. Other minor advantages like a slightly faster flash sync speed or slightly higher fps would be of even less significance to such buyers.

In all other areas, controls, performance, IQ and features that are significant, the Fuji is better or much better, e.g. PDAF+CDAF, 24MP, APSC sensor, dials, ...

It's so blatantly obvious that you are using your own biases to assign what is significant in a camera. How would you know that your "typical woman buyer" would not care about 4K or IBIS? You were the one who made the argument in the other thread that women would also do spec shopping, but you dismiss all the advantages the E-PL9 has as "insignificant" and focus only on the ones that are an advantage on the APS-C camera.

I therefore think that, even for the target female buyers, the E-PL9 would be a tough sell, unless we can assume they are ready to spend big to get the E-PL9 + 12-32mm lens, but then wouldn't something like a RX100 III or V, with an EVF be even better?

Again, I trust that Olympus marketers know more about their home Japanese market than you or I do. Neither of us are in that market. The sales results from recent years shows Olympus is doing well in that market.
