Female Prime Minister

Japan's parliament elected ultraconservative Sanae Takaichi as the country's first female prime minister Tuesday, a day after her struggling party struck a coalition deal with a new partner expected to pull her governing bloc further to the right.

Dichotomy - Victory for Women's Advancement but sers the stage for rabid xenophobia in an aging low fertility country.

i don't know much about japanese politics but it a country that is conservative surrounding women and their roles in society especially within the older generation . the fact she reached that far is a achievement

@Brerzerk

which "developed" country isnt complaining about low fertility?

@VIX

Not the main point. It is always interesting to me that very conservative women who claw their way to the top always support policies that make it hard for majority of women to succeed. Hopefully xenophobia won't deprive Japanese women with the kinda men (misfits) they may prefer to marry😁

My son lives in Japan, and they're not excited about her.

She sounds like a Japanese Thatcher, and that's not a good thing.
