"Takaichi's inauguration as Japan's first female prime minister raised hopes that "women's status will improve and their human rights will be secured," but "if things remain unchanged, it will be a real shame in the eyes of the world," she said"
Women in politics also do evil. Takaichi can join Hillary Clinton, Marine LePen, and Chrystia Freeland etc on that pile.
