Fu Zhuhui: Why is the Japanese female foreign minister called ＂Obasan＂?

When the American political female strong woman Hillary was running for the president, she complained that women had to enter the White House "like a glass ceilings."When Xiaochi competed for the Prime Minister's position, there was a famous saying: "I want to challenge a piece of iron plate."

Japanese politics is important to men and women. Female politicians not only have little opportunity to be reused, but also have to endure the ridicule of work.

On the 28th of last month, the Vice President of the Liberal Democratic Party joked in a speech in a speech.Mu Sheng said: "From our (man) perspective, she is not beautiful, it is an Obasan (in Japanese referring to the old woman)."

Even though Matson's speech aims to praise the diplomatic wrist of Uenagawa, it is full of spoken speeches for female colleagues, showing the masculinity in Japanese politics.

Kyoto News criticized Masheng's mouth without blocking, and is a conservative politician full of men's superiority.This is the first time that Matson came out of his mouth. He had previously published a discriminatory remark of "women without children."

At the Senate's defense meeting, some female members wanted to give the Uenagawa Oki a chance to protest and ask her directly: "Don't you plan to protest about the publicity that threatens the image by others?"

Perhaps for the sake of interest, Uenagawa Yoshiko performed very magnificent and a large amount. Answer: "There are many different views and ways of thinking in the world, and there are various opinions and sounds.All sounds " "As a politician, I pay more attention to my own sense of mission and dedicate myself. I hope that there is a higher ideal, just like Ms. Xizo, who once served as a senior commissioner of the United Nations refugee affairs."

Uenagawa Yoshiko is unwilling to criticize Masheng's discriminatory speech, which is puzzling.Some political commentators speculate: "She does not speak so or dare not speak, is she to keep her career? Is the voicing to be a prime minister?"

The Liberal Democratic Party has lowered its support because of the money scandal. Uenagawa's answer is considered to be skillfully recovering the image for the Liberal Democratic Party.

However, the calm treatment of Uenagawa Yoshiko has also greatly reduced the image of her politics female and iron man.

Feminist and parliamentarians posted on social media: "If she is for her career, in order to be a understanding woman in a man -dominated world, it is really too much."

Men and women in Japanese politics are particularly different. The proportion of women in the Japanese House is only 10%, ranking 165th among more than 190 countries around the world.In the Liberal Democratic Party, women members are lower than about 8%.

So far, Japan has not had a female prime minister.In 2016, the capital Tokyo selected the first female knowledgeable, Konichi Kotako, was regarded as a breakthrough.In fact, Xiaochi, who used to be the first female defense chief in Japan, was wishing to compete with the prime minister with the political guys.However, because of the foreseeable opportunity to be a female politician, she finally retired.

When the American political strong woman Hillary was running for the president, she complained that women had to enter the White House "like a glass ceiling."When Xiaochi competed for the Prime Minister's position, there was a famous saying: "I want to challenge a piece of iron plate." Obviously, in Japanese politics, women must go to the top, not just glass ceiling.

In fact, the Japanese political system has not limited women to play their strength, but the society has prejudice to women's participation in politics, and often allows women who originally wanted to carry politics.In Japan, women's roles are often considered to be responsible for good housework and take good care of children. Society's support for women's politics is not high.

In addition, women have suffered from sexual harassment in politics, and they are one of the stumbling blocks for campaign and participation in politics.Japan NHK quoted the relevant survey of the election activity that nearly 60%of female candidates had been sexually harassed during the election campaign, 65%had encountered gender discrimination, and 27%reflected that they had experienced injuries or insulted in words.EssenceThere are also public opinion that Japanese female councilors often rely on "beauty" upper position, and they play in politics that they are just as lining characters like Japanese TV female anchors.

Gender discrimination has been hindering Japanese women to participate in politics, and the small number of female members of the Japanese parliament has also led to the lack of views and positions in the lack of Japanese women in the political circle.This has formed a vicious circle, making it difficult for Japan to develop into a society where men and women are equal.
