NEWS AGENCY - Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, made sexist statements about women. He said that women should have more children to contribute to their country’s wellbeing.
The Japanese government’s top spokesman, Yoshihide Suga, accused women of not contributing to the military unity of Japan. According to Yoshihide, women should have more children for the country, and the government should encourage them to have babies.
Commenting on the recent celebrity marriage in his country, Yoshihide said: “With their marriage, I am hoping that mothers will contribute to their country by feeling like they want to have more children. Please have many children.”
Yoshihide mentioned that government should establish a comfortable society.
“It’s obvious that getting married and having children is a matter of personal freedom. I believe that it’s a government’s job to establish a society where people feel comfortable about having and raising children,” Yoshihide said.
