Japan was the only Group of Seven country to dispatch a male minister to the recently held G7 Ministerial Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment.
The event, which closed Sunday, was attended by nine representatives of countries and organizations, with Japan’s gender equality minister Masanobu Ogura — who chaired the Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture meeting — being the sole official male presence. The gathering was expected to highlight women’s activities in Japan but ended up demonstrating the conspicuously small role women play in contemporary Japanese politics.
The convocation was attended by G7 ministers and representatives of the European Union and the Gender Equality Advisory Council.
Speaking at a press conference after the meeting, Ogura said: “I explained during the event that Japan has been slow to make progress in promoting [women] in the political arena, but such moves are starting to gain momentum. Despite being the only male minister [in attendance], I received warm support from the other representatives.”

I hope he mansplains everything, uses diminutives when addressing them, and tells them how lovely they are.
They better make him a sandwich.
So they likely sent the only QUALIFIED person there...
And which one of them was 7 of 9?
Masanobu Ogura translates to “Iron My Shirt.”
Well this makes sense - since men are now winning all of the women’s sports championships, “woman of the year awards”, etc.
Japan is making sense.
I needed a good laugh. Between this thread and the “Bonus Hole” one...
Masanobu Ogura translates to “Iron My Shirt.”

Hmmm… my translation app says “Make me a sandwich”.
That’s one way to meet chicks. Unless, of course, he bats for the other team.
