A Rebuttal to the Shallow Argument That More Female Legislators Are Always Better
Through Masayuki Takayama’s essay, this article examines the shallowness of the World Economic Forum’s gender ranking and Asahi-style gender theory. It discusses the essential strength of Japanese women, female precedence since Shinto tradition, and the danger of simplistic calls to increase female legislators through the examples of Kiyomi Tsujimoto and Renho.

Kiyomi Tsujimoto, or Renho.
When countermeasures were to be considered, they continued to discuss only last year’s cherry blossoms.
Rather than increasing the number of such people, it is far better to remain at 121st place.
The following is from Masayuki Takayama’s regular column, which closes the weekly magazine Shukan Shincho released on April 30.
This essay also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
Above all, I learned for the first time that the World Economic Forum, unbelievably, had honored Daisuke Tsuda as one of Japan’s next-generation leaders.
This column takes pride in being the world’s first collection of essays that has continued to tell the world and refer to the nonsense of the United Nations and the so-called international community.
He also proves the correctness of this column.
A model of a female legislator.
The World Economic Forum, which appeared around the end of the twentieth century, has one aspect of a gathering of the offspring of globalism.
Every January, at the general meeting held in Davos, Switzerland, Merkel, Bill Gates, Xi Jinping, and many wealthy NGOs appear together.
This year, there was also an entertainment in which the climate-change girl carried by such NGOs put on a threatening performance, but otherwise it seems to have become the usual form of “drinking champagne all night with the extremely rich,” as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson put it.
Long ago, the incident in which U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor got drunk, fell from the second floor, and missed the meeting symbolized that.
This forum, meddlesomely, also certifies next-generation leaders of various countries.
From Japan, Daisuke Tsuda was selected and honored.
Among Japanese people, there were many voices saying that if blond hair was the criterion, Kazlaser would have been better.
It also has the hobby of statistically showing how inferior colored nations are compared with white nations, and most recently it ranked the social status of women by country.
Japanese women ranked 121st among 153 countries.
Lower than Korean women, who did not even have names until Japan’s imperial rule, at 108th.
The reason for the low ranking, they say, is “the small number of female politicians.”
However, in Japan, no politician can hold his head high before his wife.
I tilted my head at a ranking that ignores the reality since Amaterasu Omikami, but only the Asahi Shimbun made a great fuss over it.
“Men reject women who stand out. Our Asahi also crushed capable female reporters,” wrote editorial board member Shinji Fukushima in a Sunday column, expressing words of reflection.
Why do the men of Asahi continue to look down on women?
As the answer, Fukushima cites Virginia Woolf: “If men could feel from birth that half of humanity was inferior to themselves, that would give them great confidence.”
In other words, he says, we too discriminated against women with that intention.
But both Woolf and Fukushima are greatly mistaken.
Men were not “by birth” greater than women.
Human society, like animal society, was also matrilineal.
Women sought men with strong genes, men who could defeat external enemies and hunt well, in order to leave good seed behind.
Average men, or men below average, were never accepted by women for their entire lives.
But their desires were strong.
So the useless men devised something called religion.
The good proof of this is that every religion sings of the greatness of the husband and the chastity of the wife.
They ended the matrilineal society in which women chose men, and changed it into a male society in which men chose women and women devoted their chastity only to their husbands.
Through religion, humanity stopped progressing.
But spring also came to men below average.
Thus Judaism put veils on women so that they would not look elsewhere, and guaranteed Abraham the right to have Hagar as a concubine in addition to his wife Sarah.
Islam makes adultery by women punishable by death, and Hinduism commands, “Even if your husband is a drunkard and a womanizer, serve him as a god.”
Men won “superiority over women” for the first time.
The world transformed into the male-dominant world of which Woolf speaks.
Only the world of Shinto, however, has continued as a female-superior world since Amaterasu Omikami.
Neither the World Economic Forum nor Asahi understood that.
Then why do superior Japanese women not aspire to become politicians?
It is because today’s politicians must constantly endure the abusive shouting of opposition parties filled with hypocrisy and malice.
They leave such things to their husbands and live as they please.
Is the Prime Minister’s wife not a good example?
However, once they do aspire, they can act like Yoko Kamikawa.
She had Shoko Asahara and juvenile murderers executed without hesitation.
That is a strength that average men do not have.
Kiyomi Tsujimoto also became a legislator, but her aspiration was somewhat different.
Not satisfied even with remuneration exceeding 40 million yen, she defrauded 20 million yen in secretary salaries and was arrested.
Even so, she did not change her aspiration and made a comeback.
As for her political activities, was there anything other than lecturing on how sea bream rots?
Or Renho.
Although she comes from a family connected even to the Chinese Communist Party, she did not warn the Japanese people of the danger of that virus.
When countermeasures were to be considered, she continued to discuss only last year’s cherry blossoms.
Rather than increasing the number of such people, it is far better to remain at 121st place.
