Their message is diminished for want of an "s".
That said, good for them for bothering to get out there. Japan still punches below its weight in gender inequality, with apathy being one of the reasons for the slow pace of improvement.

While some of the signs are quite funny in a grammar point of view, it's fantastic to see them going for it.
It's something that is long over due and I hope one day it will be perfectly even.
Even more so in Japan where equality is an actual issue, unlike certain areas cough The United States cough .

Exactly. Pity it wasn't proof-read.
The other one is great though: "So bad, even introverts are here." Excellent!

Why are all these protesters at protests in non English speaking countries have English placards ?
Are this all set up so the English speaking world gets to see it via their controlled media i wonder ?

What is this...an English Lesson? A poor one at that by the way. Since this is in Japan, then the placards should be in Japanese.

Western messages for western audiences. Doesn't seem like genuine rally.

"A time will come when the mountain moves!" "There was once a time when women were the sun!"
The Japanese-language placard is poetic.
I think fathers and husbands could hold up the same English placard though, i.e. "We are not objects".

Perhaps but the message gets wider attention in English.
