Topic Reading-Vol.816-7/6/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Sexist views dent Japan push for women's rights.
Does a deep bow really offer an apology?
The shamed and blamed Tokyo metropolitan assemblyman finally admitted that he had heckled a fellow assemblywoman with an unprecedentedly harassing comment like, “get married and have a child” during her presentation at the assembly several days ago. During the several days, public claims by men and women, media and political parties called for a hunt for the hecklers and the men-dominated assembly had moved to question several suspects. It took such enormous public and political pressure, including his party leader, the prime minister, and several days for the ill-minded politician to admit the wrong doing, which he initially denied. Furthermore, even though his name was removed from the member list of the party, he declined to surrender his seat at the assembly, while a man admitted that he had threw 20 raw eggs at the politician’s office.
Enjoy reading and learning how a politician admits his wrong doing and reacts to the public pressure.
