An excerpt:
To my mind, the response from women proves Masuzoe's point more than then he could have hoped to make it. I would go so far as to say that most women should not hold any political office.
I find it hilarious that they do not see the irony that they respond with sexual shaming instead of trying to refute the up and coming potential governor's point.
Of course it is about being against women - not having the best man for the job at the helm of JDS Japan.

TOKYO: Women in Tokyo are threatening a sex boycott against any man who votes for the front-runner in this weekend's gubernatorial election, in protest at his claim that menstruation makes women unfit for government.
A Twitter campaign group based in the capital which bills itself as "The association of women who will not have sex with men who vote for (Yoichi) Masuzoe," has garnered almost 3,000 followers since it launched last week.
Although the founders have not identified themselves, in their profile they said: "We have stood up to prevent Mr. Masuzoe, who makes such insulting remarks against women...We won't have sex with men who will vote for Mr. Masuzoe.
Masuzoe, 65, a former political scientist who became a celebrity through TV talk shows before getting involved in politics in 2001, is widely seen as an establishment figure in a country where gender roles remain very distinct.
In 1989, he told a men's magazine that it would not be proper to have women at the highest level of government because their menstrual cycle makes them irrational."
To my mind, the response from women proves Masuzoe's point more than then he could have hoped to make it. I would go so far as to say that most women should not hold any political office.
I find it hilarious that they do not see the irony that they respond with sexual shaming instead of trying to refute the up and coming potential governor's point.

"Masuzoe is an enemy of women...He doesn't love Japan. He loves only himself," said one comment on the site, by a woman who identified herself as Etsuko Sato.
On the Twitter campaign feed, a post by manatowar3 said: "I'm an old man. But I cannot tolerate him (Masuzoe) from a man's point of view."
Despite high levels of education, many women in Japan leave career jobs when they have children, and social pressures to play the homemaker remain strong."
Of course it is about being against women - not having the best man for the job at the helm of JDS Japan.
