Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games chief Yoshiro Mori is expected to resign Thursday after he sparked equal measures of outrage and blushes in Japan by claiming women talk too much in meetings.
The decision comes after a torrent of criticism from politicians to sports stars at a time the already delayed event is still under a cloud due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
Mori, an 83-year-old former prime minister known for public gaffes, allegedly told members of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) “board of directors meetings with many women take a lot of time.”
“When you increase the number of female executive members, if their speaking time isn’t restricted to a certain extent, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying,” he said, as some members of the council reportedly laughed.
He then went on to compound his observation.
“Women are competitive,” Mori reportedly added. “When one person raises a hand, others think they need to speak up as well. That’s why everyone speaks.”
He later retracted his words at a news conference, acknowledging it was inappropriate – but when pressed on whether he really thought women talked too much, he replied: “I don’t listen to women that much lately, so I don’t know.” .

Sad to see one of the last non-PC Western countries starting it’s downward fall. And very sad, as they had the advantage to see just what it leads to.
Yoshiro Mori claims women talk too much.
Japanese version of Joe Biden?
We do! He’s right.
Truth — It gets you in trouble fast these days, with those that cannot accept the truth.
The chilling takeaway is, You are not entitled to state your opinion, if it’s the “wrong” opinion. You’ll be punished for it.
Agreed. I’m thinking western Europe.
Where are broads in charge? Denmark or Norway?
he’s right
The Truth Hurts!
The women probably didn’t like being interupted, so they fired him for trying to get a word in edgewise.
Show of hands anyone who’s attended meetings online or in person that drag on too long because one or more participants who do not lead the meeting or department have to weigh in on every topic (even if only to ask questions).
Note this is true of men and women
Only 15% of the people polled even WANT Japan to hold the Olympics this summer.
They do. I just had to get a women to shut up in a meeting. It seems some women want to turn every meeting into a social hour.
Mori has not met my husband. He is the talkative one on meetings.
