Atuk's favourite country where they don't like women to talk too much

Japan’s ruling party wants more women at meetings, but must stay quiet

TOKYO: After a sexism row sparked by Tokyo Olympics chief’s saying women talked too much at meetings, Japan’s ruling party wants women at key meetings — but only if they don’t talk.

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party has proposed a new plan that allows five female lawmakers to join the party’s key meetings as observers.

Toshihiro Nikai, the party’s 82-year-old secretary-general, said on Tuesday that he heard criticism that the party’s board is male-dominated, but added that the board members are elected.


But it is important for the party’s female members to “look” at the party’s decision-making process, he said.

“It is important to fully understand what kind of discussions are happening. Take a look, is what it is about,” Nikai said at a news conference late on Tuesday.

Those female observers can’t speak during the meetings, but can submit opinions separately to the secretariat office, the daily newspaper Nikkei reported.

Yoshiro Mori, the head of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic organising committee, resigned last week after derogatory comments about women speaking too much at meetings and making them too long triggered backlash at home and abroad.


The 83-year-old former prime minister’s remarks are one of the examples that show how deep rooted sexism is in Japanese society.


Japan is ranked 121st out of 153 countries on the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Gender Gap Index — the worst ranking gap among advanced countries — scoring poorly on women’s economic participation and political empowerment.

This week, a group of female lawmakers at the Liberal Democratic Party asked Nikai to increase the ratio of women in key posts at the party.


But requiring female observers at meetings to remain quiet has drawn criticism on social media that the party is out of touch.

Twitter users say the party’s male-centric view has not changed since the Mori controversy.

“People will just put women on them as a kind of PR exercise,” Belinda Wheaton, a cultural sociologist at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, told Reuters.


“I think it’s probably time to be asking questions as to why it is that we feel that men in their 70s or 80s are able to fulfil these roles better versus a man in their 40s or 50s, or a woman,” Wheaton said.

Also making the rounds on social media were comments by Kengo Sakurada, head of a powerful Japanese business lobby, who said Japan’s glass ceiling was “partly women’s fault”.

  3. Wow !
    Ktemoc's most hatred country (after USA) combined with Ktemoc's most hatred person (Mahathir)

    By the way , since Ktemoc brought up the subject.
    姦 means "Noisy" in Japan, as Ktemoc uses as an example of how demeaning Japanese culture is towards women.

    Now 姦 means "Evil" in Chinese......what does it say about Chinese culture towards women, and what is Ktemoc's position ?

    I believe every country in the world has to work on giving women equal opportunities and status in society, Japan probably more than many other countries, but its not useful to pick on any one particular country to demonise.
