The Guardian:[2] Of all the candidates for Japan’s most sexist comment of the year, there seemed to be only one possible winner – Yoshiro Mori, the former head of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic organising committee, who was forced to resign last month after complaining that women “talked too much” during meetings.
[3] Sugita, an MP representing the ruling Liberal Democratic party (LDP), was named the winner this week after an online vote organised by Noaseps (No to all sexist public speeches), a group comprising academics and campaigners that highlights gender discrimination in Japan.Japan’s ruling party invites women to meetings – but won’t let them speak
[4] Sugita emerged as a contender in September last year when she told fellow LDP lawmakers at a private meeting that “women can lie as much as they like” about sexual violence.
