This shit's all on recording, yeah? Attendance is recorded? So how difficult is it for an "investigative reporter" to use that recording and attendance list to identify the individual members voices and what they said? It's 2014 for fucks sake...this should not be a "mystery."

LOL

To be fair, I've heard of some really fucked cases that go both way recently. Brother in law is some sort of office worker at a university here in Tokyo...last week his university all but forced all the employees to make "donations" to the university. He and more than half the staff are jumping ship after the next bonus.

Apparently the turnover rate there is high but rather than "fight the power" it's the same story, every bonus season comes around and everyone gives their notice. I suppose much of the bullshit that goes on here will get better as workers become harder to come by but this shit is pretty unbelievable.

So now all the other incidents will get coverage, but fuck all will be done.

Double down dufus!

Gender equality chief makes light of sexist jeering in Tokyo assembly
Japan Today /Sept. 18, 2014
The Tokyo politician tasked with preventing sexism in the city’s assembly ran into trouble Wednesday after making light of an episode of sexist jeering that drew outrage in Japan and beyond.
Tokyo politicians’ outmoded views on gender came under the spotlight in June when a young assemblywoman was heckled during a debate on helping the city’s mothers.
Shouts of “Why don’t you get married?” and “Are you not able to have a baby?” erupted in the chamber when Ayaka Shiomura, 36, was speaking.
Zenji Nojima, the chairman of a gender equality conference, generated fresh controversy Tuesday by saying it was fine to ask a woman why she wasn’t married—although the question should not be posed in public.
“I would say ‘Why don’t you get married?’ in private when I’m talking with women,” Nojima, a 65-year-old member of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling party, told reporters after the conference, which had been convened for the first time in five years.

Somehow many of the female lemurs I know being propositioned with "money for sex" at works seems to make sense...
