Posted in: LDP member admits making sexist jeers against Tokyo assemblywoman See in context
As appalled as I am about all of this, I also find it interesting that so many people are in such an uproar because frankly I've observed similar situations, just in the rooms of izakaya etc away from any public responsibility. Someone will say something offensive, everyone will laugh nervously, and then someone will change the subject without addressing the comment. Don't get me wrong I'm not sure I could've handled the situation any better myself, but it just seems strange that so many Japanese people are getting so upset when this part of thing is really not that uncommon. Is it a matter of how we look as a society, especially towards other countries?? Tatemae??
