Japanese Women Boycott Sex With Any Man Who Votes For Tokyo's "Menstruating Women Are Irrational" Governor
It would appear hell hath no fury like a menstruating Japanese woman scorned... As The Daily Star reports, women in Tokyo are threatening a sex boycott against any man who votes for the front-runner in this weekend's critical Abenomics-vote-of-confidence gubernatorial election. The reason? Yoichi Masuzoe, a 65-year-old former political scientist, stated that it would not be proper to have women at the highest level of government because their menstrual cycle makes them irrational. All 16 candidates in the poll are men, with many of them aged in their 60s or older. But Masuzoe's comments about women, as well as other controversial remarks on taxing the elderly, have triggered a backlash.
Women in Tokyo are threatening a sex boycott against any man who votes for the front-runner in this weekend's gubernatorial election, in protest at his claim that menstruation makes women unfit for government.
A Twitter campaign group based in the capital which bills itself as "The association of women who will not have sex with men who vote for (Yoichi) Masuzoe," has garnered almost 3,000 followers since it launched last week.
Although the founders have not identified themselves, in their profile they said: "We have stood up to prevent Mr. Masuzoe, who makes such insulting remarks against women...We won't have sex with men who will vote for Mr. Masuzoe."
...
In 1989, he told a men's magazine that it would not be proper to have women at the highest level of government because their menstrual cycle makes them irrational.
"Women are not normal when they are having a period... You can't possibly let them make critical decisions about the country (during their period) such as whether or not to go to war," he said.
Masuzoe has the backing of the conservative ruling party of hawkish Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and is seen as likely to pip his nearest rival, former prime minister Moriyoshi Hosokawa who is standing on an anti-nuclear platform.
All 16 candidates in the poll are men, with many of them aged in their 60s or older.
But Masuzoe's comments about women, as well as other controversial remarks on taxing the elderly, have triggered a backlash.
Another website was launched on Wednesday by a group of women also seeking to prevent Masuzoe from becoming Tokyo governor -- that site has drawn 75,000 hits per day and 2,800 people have signed its petition.
"Masuzoe is an enemy of women...He doesn't love Japan. He loves only himself," said one comment on the site, by a woman who identified herself as Etsuko Sato.
...
There are very few women in senior political positions -- Abe's 19-member cabinet has only two -- and company boards are overwhelmingly male.
Of course, this will probably not be a big deal, since, as we noted previously, young Japanese people appear less and less interested in sex anyway.
As The Guardian reports, 45% of Japanese women aged 16-24 are "not interested in or despise sexual contact". More than a quarter of men feel the same way.

It was not too widely reported but afterwards the King had him beheaded...according to my underground sources. They always kill the bearer of bad tidings. There is Historical precedent I tell you.

He's got my vote…
Sounds like a level-headed guy, who knows his shit!

Last I heard, the people of Japan aren't having much sex anyway, soo..
Tokyo has around 13 million people and they've managed to gain a whopping 3000 followers! This is international news at its best.
stereotypes wouldn't exist without a basis in truth.....
Coupla drinks and the Japanese chicks will be on their backs again.....
Bottoms up!!!
This is fucking hysterical . Laugh out loud funny.
I'm a bit emotional when on. But I'm never irrational enough to shoot myself 8 times in the face with a nail gun.
not sure where he found the strength to pull the trigger the 8th time to finish the job
He didnt. Charlie Knees and Guido the Spike assisted.
Jonny Tightlips didn't see nuthin
He fell.
He was an amatuer bungy jumper, sometimes the amatuers forget little details ;-)
Vito Genovese lives.
He WAS super-human.
Most of women's problems begin with MEN:
MENstruation
MENtal illness
MENopause etc
Thankfully, men provide the solution with a HISterectomy.
You have to be a real a-hole to agree with this idiot and his commentary but apparently lots of the commentators here do.
commenters.
LOL
You get the point. ZH should run divorce lawyers ads on here given the comments on any posts related to women or women leaders. It is almost as bad as the anti-Semitism on here usually.
Isn't this reaction kind of making the guys point? That is the BIGGEST problem they have over in Japan? Seriously? So, not that voting probably matters there either, but they are going to decide based on this? Sounds like the USSA.
Meanwhile at the nuclear plant up the way....poor TEPCO is "very sorry, but...." radiation levels have been underestimated BY A FACTOR OF TEN??!!!
http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2014/02/270302.html
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Friday that it will review a "massive" amount of radiation data it has collected at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant because readings may be lower than actual figures due to improper measurement.
"We are very sorry, but we found cases in which beta radiation readings turned out to be wrong when the radioactivity concentration of a sample was high," TEPCO spokesman Masayuki Ono told a press conference. Beta ray-emitting radioactive materials include strontium-90.

http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201402070096
Tokyo Electric Power Co. corrected its radioactivity readings for groundwater from a well at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant to a record-high 5 million becquerels of strontium per liter.
TEPCO officials said the strontium levels were gauged again because the previous data was wrong. They also said radioactivity readings for water taken from other wells before September were also likely erroneous.
The company had said 900,000 becquerels of beta-ray sources, including strontium, were detected in water taken on July 5, 2013, from the observation well near a water intake for the No. 2 reactor turbine building.
The new strontium data indicates that the concentration of all beta-ray sources totals around 10 million becquerels per liter of water, according to the company.
TEPCO did not announce radioactivity levels of 140 samples of groundwater and seawater taken between June and November after it found strontium readings that were higher than measurements for all beta-ray sources.
Time to take a vacation to Osaka.
But he is a scientist...
And my Mom, bless her soul, was right that the men running Japan are the same ones who ran it during WWII.
I am pretty sure that psychopathic elderly men caught up in webs of corruption and deceit are irrational....maybe they should be 'disallowed' from power.
Only Westerners are stupid enough to believe in the equality of the sexes.
Of course there isn't such thing as equality of the sexes. Fortunately!
Equality of rights, that's another issue. We haven't evolved enough for equality of rights (and opportunities), dough.
Truth hitting too close to home ladies? Women are great and fun (to be enjoyed in small time frames) but why they deny such things as this I will never know.
I also think the motto " keep calm and carry on" should be changed to "kept calm for too long" to reflect the times we live in. In other words, being rational sometimes equals being a sheeple.
I was in a longterm with this one chick. 7 years serially dating her. Had no interest in moving in with her. Most time I ever spent with her in one period was a 7 day vacation to the DR. What a fucking nightmare. She was so moody on this trip and the worst of it all was I couldnt' get away from her because we were in the same room.
Women are fucking wacky. Even in the workplace. Trick is not to let yourself get pushed around by them. Some may say taking a headon approach with them could lead to you getting fired. I think the opposite. Gently tell them to fuck off and they'll know not to pick on you and they'll focus on someone else. I did this with one ex-boss and it's been years since I left that job and she still managed to track me down and sends me emails wishing me Merry Christmas and stuff.
Fucking wacky I say!
Usually, men don't work that way in my experience. You tell them gently to fuck off but they won't.
Like the comedian Harvy Korman once stated "Taking Viagra is like putting a new flag on an old pole".
Mrs. Silencer is quite aware how wingnutty she can get when the Scarlet Avenger rolls through. Doesn't mean it's like a sitcom around here, but God at least she's aware of it...and she often apollogizes for losing her mind from time to time.
The Japs of course have far far bigger problems than this. They're going to have a pretty thin phone book in a few years thanks to the exploits of Fukushima Frank and the TEPCO Kid.
You sound like a great couple who tell each other the truth and can handle each others' truth.
Much respect.
And you are right, the problems are massive. I am scared they are real "walking dead." Maybe us too.
I promise never to vote for that guy........ahem
"Yoichi Masuzoe, a 65-year-old former political scientist"
Gosh, Yoichi, at 65 you are either getting shots of testosterone (to keep your hormones level) or you too are irrational.
Signs and symptoms of low testosterone include:
Change in sleep patterns: insomnia or sleep disturbances
Physical changes: increased body fat and reduced muscle bulk
Sexual changes: reduced sexual desires, sexual dysfunction, or infertility
Emotional changes: decreased motivations, depression
Worsening of sleep apnea
Worsening of congestive heart failure
Both Genders can be thrown off by hormones. I would never think to tell a man he cannot make decisions because he is aging and his hormones fluctuate too much. The low T thing can happen as early as the late 20s.
I admit I get floored by the hatred for women. I am so sorry it is like this. Many of you have been hurt and have over generalized to all of us.
Many of you have noted that this one dimension (gender) gets exploited as a way to keep us separated from one another (along with age, race, religion, sexual orientation, political party). Thanks.
It is about the fucking politicians, banksters and corporations, keep your eyes on the lies.
I admit I get floored by the hatred for women. I am so sorry it is like this. Many of you have been hurt and have over generalized to all of us.
Please don't be floored. For most of us older guys I expect it is part of the experienced, knowing ribbing that takes place, and I believe has always taken place, between adults of different sexes who are comfortable in their own skins. e.g. see my above about the guy with the nail gun. Expect lots of up votes...
It is about the fucking politicians, banksters and corporations, keep your eyes on the lies.
Yes, and there ARE those who stoke the flames of the war between the sexes. The last bulwark against the tyrannical state is the nuclear family, with a man and woman who trust each other implicitly and who each do what they are best at for the good of the family and who resist outside instusion into their lives. Breaking it up is the goal of the neo-fuedalists, banksters, feminists, etc.
Getting older changes everything. When I was a younger man I thought about having sex with women about every other 10 -15 seconds. Now that I am older it is about every 30-45 seconds. Aging has help me find the time to listen to them now.
shouldn't take you long to figure out they never had much to say worth listening to
News flash: menstruating women ARE IRRATIONAL!
ya think

Bloody hell !!
Neither rationality or honesty is discernably different in male or female leaders at the national level, Only a lust for power and a skill at misleading the public.
They are irrational whether they are menstruating or not ;-)
Pliz.
Hi, I just came back from a two week trip to a deserted island. Hows my stash of Bitcoins doing?
So, how are these grumpy broads gonna know how you voted?
If it leans hard right.
"So, how are these grumpy broads gonna know how you voted?"
When buddy wins by a landslide. ;-)
Do I have to imagine?
Angry bluebirds.
Yeah, those rational male politicians in japan have done a fab job. Country is in tip top shape - financially, demographically and radioactively. God forbid the Japanese ladies get a chance to run the show, after all look at all of those WWII atrocities they committed; look at Nanking; damn those menstruating Japanese ladies.
Happy Vagintine's Day
re "Menstruating Women Are Irrational"
Why the "menstruating" qualifier?
Last time I checked, mestruating women are irrational. The rest of the time they are illogical. Personally, I find irrational to be more stimulating than illogical.
What's the big whoop?
Pliz.
The best time to buy is when there's blood on the streets. This could be a sign.
Yes, a menstruating prostitute can always be had at a discount.
The great part of Zero Hedge is that no matter the topic, someone's always got some expertise to lend to it.
As long as the internet has freely available japaneese porn, those men will be able to hold their own in this strike.
So, they should just follow their normal routine?
If you like your Menstruating, you can keep it.
And the vast majority of banksters are men
Men like to push the world to illegal wars against the will of the people and just generally like go to war.
and as one poster said, Japan is in a great glowing state financially and otherwise/sarc
Hmmm
Yeah.... the economy went down the shitters when woman got the right to vote. To late to draw the line now, we've passed the point.
But here's the best part...
When you herd women together, they start to synchronize their cycles to each other so they begin to menstruate together.
Try to imagine that Congress from Hell.
Isn't that an Olympic sport? Synchonized cycles? Just not in shark infested waters.
Narcissistic personality disorders are so fascinating.
I am boycotting sex with menstruating women over this.
My girfriend goes crazy on her period. I am a doctor and I have never seen anything like it. Her blood sugar drops to 40 sometimes, but fortunately it only lasts 4 days. She is slightly crazy anyway but she is 20 years younger and has a really nice body and wants it every day so I put up with it.
The Man woman conundrum in society as seen from the Room at the TOP.
As the Oligarchy is not out of tune with this trend, which apexes like wealth at the top, here is the ongoing saga of Oligarchs and the "power is best aphrodisiac" meme that Dear Henry made famous :
1° Berlu makes bunga bunga a Zeitgeist of the uber oligarchy age.
2° Putin ditches wife and has as new mistress an ex olympic champion of 30. Just look at Sochi...to see.
3° Hollande ditches first mistress and has clandestine affair with second one, Oh Julie G !
4° Barak reputedly is having marital problems with Michelle. So he will have A LOT to discuss when Hollande visits him next week.
Poor Mutti nobody takes HER seriously for her charms, a bit like Lady Lagarde makes the men of IMF run faster than Usain Bolt.
Menstruation may have a correlataion with male masturbation in a normal horny couple, but this time its a blow job that happens in the WH, the Elysee, or the Kremlin...not in some sleazy uber "bathroom speak easy" of a Sheraton hotel in NY.
We are moving up in the world to bunga bunga at our ease wherever we please, when we be a national Potus or his crony cabal.
I always wondered about the Japanese flag.
you know what killed the ERA in the US ultimately? at the time, the US had a system of conscription in place ("the draft")... when an amendment to the resolution to exempt women from the draft was killed, that was all she wrote for the ERA
women: "we want all the rights and privileges that you have... waitaminute, that means you can do what with the draft??? oh shit rescind rescind!!!"
women are not equal to men and they never will be
turtles aren't equal to frogs. men aren't the same as women. we are all equal. what the constitution intentionally left out, 'we are all equal.... in god's eyes'. (or goddess).
inequality is a lack of quality of life amongst us. either we go back into caves because i hit you over the head first and harder, or we learn to live together and share. greed and insecurity are the killers.
'If women ran for President there would never be any wars, just severe negotiations every 28 days...' R. Williams(this was pre-Hillary) What's the difference between a woman on her period and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist....

It's a petty thought process

It's scapegoating.

the many worried about their
health owing to Fukushima, or the
millions paniced about their
future. Scapegoaters and self-
defenders don't care about others.
Of course, all people are
vulnerable to insecurities.
Try not taking someone's insecurity
personally, I say, cause they
go around being that way with
everyone.

It's worth bringing these things
up in this comment because the
reality is the original feminist
movement was historically proximate
to the abolitionist movement.,
both in time an place.
My own Mom was a medical social
worker in Japan after the war.
She told us she saw the women
invariably walking purposely,
exactingly behind their men, and
she thought to herself:
he may be brilliant, he may be a

She's a person too.
Though it would be a mistake if
Edith Bunker were to think all men were
like Archie (Norman Lear made
it clear, it seemed, she wouldn't,)
and though the women

I wonder just what he has in common

Which one was menstuating, governor?
Actually, an energy poor nation that
had just fought a war partly over
energy insecurity, that also had
a samurai tradition lending itself
to plutocracy, just might've afforded
a share-in-plutocracy moment if TEPCO's
prime owners could share in an
energy monopoly.
The abolitionists would not have
been impressed with plutocracy.
Plutocracy goes hand in hand with
privatization, and that probably
lent itself to inadequate safeguards
at Fukushima, if that plant needed
to exist at all.
If more cultures were democratic
and cooperative, and less (male?)
ego-based, then more would be able
to take the path Japan missed taking:
not fearing a little more interdependence
as to such things as energy.
Well then, I guess the only
thing left is the apple pie.
More, on that original
feminist/abolitionist connection.
Who knows? Maybe a pre-existing
sense of democracy mattered.

It worked in Africa, we should watch Japan now...
Some time back I proposed a sex boycott for men who financially support Monsanto and DuPont products.
This will never work in America, too much emphasis is placed on material possessions in this country. We have Hollywood, daytime drama TV, plus reality shows, with 25 minutes of commercial breaks for every hour of programming.
Ours is a nation of people who have been saturated with propaganda of "more is better", and too often the tide of sexual attraction flows toward those who have more. Men with a higher moral compass, who seek an alternative life style are largely ignored, or scorned.
Well even if you let them hold office... an age exclusion from 40 to 55 should hold. The Period is bad, menopause is worse, so why not just exclude them? I'm turning Japanese?
This is personal insult to our next president mrs. clinton. btw, those men at that age already developed ed problems.
Wow talk about playing hardball. Finally just admitting that pussy is a tool that makes men move mountains and is the most powerful motivator on the history of the universe. Good for them.
In my experience the women have been passive aggressive about using their vjjjays as weapons while not openly admitting to the fact.
Also that ploy loses it's powers once your married with children as once you overplay your hand the weapon loses its power.
Don't take this too serious and get offended I'm just making a joke, sort of.
"women in Tokyo are threatening a sex boycott against any man who votes for the front-runner in this weekend's critical Abenomics-vote-of-confidence gubernatorial election"
Since I assume they use a secret ballot system in Japan, any male who would voluntarily admit to voting for that guy should then be disqualified for any attempted sexual reproduction simply due to their obvious abject stupidity, not because they voted for the guy.
This just means any women over 40 (some younger) post manpause is more rational than men of any age, they will think clear see things for better of society at large than men selfish desire for war and slavery if beta population/ sheeples. From now on ill vote all female canadidate pass their menopause. Btw Japan has high population of women pass 40. Statistic show people don't get to high office until they are in their late 40s, there is hope for jap as long they can get rid of those old war hawks in the office.
PMS is when women go crazy. The "pre" part is the nightmare.
After the flow starts, women settle in to just being bitchy.
And it's all about their consumed hormones (not the hormones themselves). In effect, consumed hormones amount to a 5-7 day hangover - poor bitches.
It's as though they deserve this, but they really don't.
Nothing says "I'm rational" like a nuclear-level emotional reaction.
Fine. Take out "menstruating." Still accurate.
What many posters are missing here, is that they are getting data about women, from being around women that they are having sex with or are related to. They see the craziness of these women, and think that they are crazy because they are women. Actually, they are crazy because everyone in a sexual/familial relationship acts crazy, or at any rate such relationships bring out whatever craziness a person has.
Guess what guys - you aren't dating guys. If you were, you would conclude that men are crazy, since men in relationships are nuts, too. You are only seeing other guys, outside of emotionally and sexually fraught contexts. You are mainly seeing women, within emotionally and sexually fraught contexts. Yes, the women are acting crazy - it's largely because of the context. Guess what, dude, you're acting crazy, too, in that context.
Another thing - a woman looks at a guy, and she usually sees: some dude, whatever. A man looks at a woman, and if she weighs less than 250 pounds (or at least appears to) and is under age 60 (or at least appears to be) and isn't actually his mother or his sister, he thinks about having sex with her (unless he is gay).* Who is crazy here? How crazy would women have to be while menstruating, to match that level of nuts????
*if you are female and you don't know this already, it is because you have been fooled by the Polite Lie that all men tell to their wives/girlfriends: "of course she isn't attractive to me, darling; I would never think of sleeping with her; never never icky icky poo." Per the studies, women are very poor at telling when men are lying, so if you don't know this, don't feel too bad.
What must be understood, most women menstruate between the age of 15 and 49 give or take a few years. The percentage of women considered attractive and with sex appeal is exceedingly small and lasts only during the flower of their youth. However, menstruation is a very real physiological as well as a gynocological fact. And all this puts the lie to the various porn sites where all the women are pretty and willing to do things that would get them arrested or get you arrested if you propositioned them like this. And with the expolosion of lesbian porn, with women licking everything in sight from head to toe, having orgasms fake real or fudged by the pornographers, what do you suppose they are qualified for except for sex? Plenty unfortunately they have been undermined through the current social mores.
We have Menstruating Men here. So shut up bitch.
Those older Japanese men are going through male menopause.Nothing like a hot flash and ending up a male bitch.
