        It's even better than that committee to boost women participants in governance and the committee itself was all male.

        This picture reminds me I hate the idea "empower." If somebody gives it to you, it's not really power. Because they can take it back.

        not necessarily true with knowledge for instance. If you teach someone to do something you usually do, you can’t take it back from them.

        Maybe that's why "teach" is a nice, straightforward, active verb, and not some weird passive construction like "emlearn."

        Nippon Kaigi women's division thinks that a woman's job is to raise a new generation of kids w real Japanese values. http://fujii-ritsuko.com/blog/2015/09/13/%e3%80%8c%e6%97%a5%e6%9c%ac%e5%a5%b3%e6%80%a7%e3%81%ae%e4%bc%9a%e5%b1%b1%e5%8f%a3%e3%80%8d%e5%85%89%e6%94%af%e9%83%a8%e3%81%ae%e7%99%ba%e4%bc%9a%e2%91%a0/ …pic.twitter.com/QrNwieAEmM

        It's a picture that says, "You can be anything you want, from a stay-at-home mom, to a daycare worker, to maybe even a stay-at-home mom!"

        It's a stupid pic, but daycare is one of the key problems in getting women back into the workforce in Japan. There isn't many options

        this is absolutely true but not the way koike wants to do it. More private schools, less oversight and regulation.

        also child care workers are already super exploited.

        Governer Koike is such a disgrace. She has not proposed any plans for the coming Olympic, and the transfer of the Tsukiji fishing market. >

        She did nothing as a governer after her inaugradation. Then, suddenly joined the lower house election campaign only to lose the match.

        How can a person like Koike, who tries pretending to be a weak powerless girl only when it is convenient, lead Japanese woman?

        She does not deserve her current position not because of her gender but of the fact that she lacks the ability.
