In recent sexist comments from politicians, on the 8th, “Gender Problematic Public Comments, Worst Vote 2021” was announced, which selects who were the terrible words by Internet voting. The first place was “How much does a woman lie?” From Mio Sugita, a member of the House of Representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party, and second place was “A meeting with many women takes time” by Yoshiro Mori, the former chairman of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The “Encounter that does not allow gender discrimination in public statements” created by gender researchers will be held online from February 26 to March 5. Of eight statements reported from January last year to February this year, one person cast a maximum of two votes. The total number of votes was 6031.
Mr. Sugita obtained first place in 1995 votes. At a meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party in September last year, he made a statement about a project to support victims of sexual violence.
Mr. Mori in second place has 1216 votes. Third was the parliament of Masateru Shiraishi, a member of the Adachi district, Tokyo, who said: “If (gays and lesbians) are told that they are protected by law, the Adachi district will be destroyed.” Based on Mr. Mori’s resignation, the association said: “We have shown that strong criticism of public statements that violate gender equality can have the power to change society.” (Joint)
