Obviously “bizarre population pitch” is an innapropriate way to phrase it, but it’s this article’s title

    So he wanted forced hysterectomies, ban women over 30 from getting married, and restrict women’s access to education so they could focus on babies. I love that all of this pressure is on women like it’s just them being stubborn and not a reaction to the society they’re trying to survive in. It also alludes that men are otherwise thriving, with no other issues than women’s lack of interest causing their disinterest. Men aren’t looking to have kids either. And I don’t think forcing them to limit their own dating pool and knowing that they’ll have to fully support a pregnant, uneducated wife and possibly multiple children is going to make anyone rock hard. Japanese people are already worked to death, and everything is sp competitive. Maybe deal with that before wtf that plan was???

      You’re right that even men don’t want families. Not because they don’t like it, but because they can barely pay their own rent, so attempting to provide for a family is out of reach and also irresponsible

      Not really, but the yen is very weak and they are facing a rapidly aging population crisis.

    The misogynistic idea was quickly dismissed by women across the country, forcing Hyakuta to apologise. In his apology, he clarified that his comments were were framed as a “science-fiction storyline” to help start a discussion on the falling birth rate.

    He admitted that his opinions were “extremely harsh” and denied that he advocates for such drastic measures against women. “I meant to say that we cannot transform the social structure unless we do something that goes that far. I want to retract my remarks and apologise,” he was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.

    olololollol fuck all the way off

                Yes, I am; when I’m not being called names and accused of saying things I never said.

                  What name are you accusing me of calling you? Lol I accused you of things you never said? What you said was so racist that it was deleted by a mod. Haven’t seen gaslighting like this since I accidentally watched Trump debate highlights.

      Attitudes like what? Are you actually thinking the people who didn’t choose for forced surgery deserve it?
