Japan's First Woman Prime Minister.

Congrats. but the title might be a bit of a stretch.

Quote:

Takaichi played the drums and piano during her youth and enjoyed heavy metal music.

The ABC's spin was disappointing, as usual, with the article titled: "Sanae Takaichi becomes Japan's first female PM, but some say it is not a win for women"

The reason a female PM is not a "real" win for women: because the ABC disagrees with her conservative political views.


Quote:

"It's almost like she's popular despite her gender, rather than because of it," political expert Tina Burrett, from Sophia University, said.

:o

WTF is that supposed to mean? That it is only a win for women if a woman gets elected based on her gender, not her political merits?

Yeah, not that she is a hard line racist against the Chinese or even fat caucasians like yourself.
