The 83-year-old former prime minister said at a Japanese Olympic Committee gathering Feb. 3 that having women participate in meetings meant they tended to “drag on.”

“..having women participate in meetings meant they tended to “drag on.””

I suppose those were trans-sexist remarks.

A global outrage? Really? I doubt if the average person anywhere is getting upset over Mori what said.

People need to quit resigning over minor things. Such resignations just worsen the fascist liberal feeding frenzy.

Not a good sign. Japan had been holding out against the filth of the West for quite some time. Bummer.
