Well the usual response to this is that people who don’t want to be in position of power would do a shit job at it (to the point of being net negative).

Most people don’t want “bear the responsibility”, they want someone else to do it.

I don’t they care about other women. Or people in general. If you an upper class woman running for politics then such policies would never affect you personally. Consequences are for “lesser” people.

This is just what she choose to built her political career upon, because such views are popular in Japan and therefore she would be able garner support and boring base. What matters is that it will get her to power. I sincerely doubt she actually believes into any of that.

Sleep for 4-5 hours every weekday because you don’t want the next day to begin so you put off sleep as long as possible, then sleep through the weekend.
