Women “would have their uteruses removed when they turn over 30,” Naoki Hyakuta, leader of the Conservative Party of Japan, said in a stream on his YouTube channel on Friday.

On the channel, he also said that he would make it law for “women who are single after 25 years old not to be allowed to marry.”

(…)

Later, Hyakuta posted an apology on his X account. “I cannot deny that the expressions were too harsh,” he said. “I apologize for those who were offended.”

      Always has been. It’s a country of racist conservatives that continue to deny past genocides. They’re good at cleaning things tho.

      Britain was 1st. Then France, but they made it political (how very French of them), then America with the election…yea, it’s almost Japan’s turn to obviously shoot themselves in the foot. Bad enough to fuck you up, but not bad enough, yet stupid enough, to make sure you get sent right back to the front lines. Catch-22 suckah.

      In this scenario, Putin is Corporal Klinger.
