My Opinion on Japanese Politicians
2014-07-11
News:

Tokyo Assemblyman Apologizes for Heckling Female Councilor
My Opinion:
Although it is not uncommon for politicians to say politically incorrect things and have to apologize for them later, I am very glad to see Akihiro Suzuki apologizing for his sexist remarks and I hope his fellow politicians follow his lead. I think it is a sign that attitudes toward women and their roles in Japanese society are changing for the better.
