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.
