Too little, too late. Japan REALLY needs to step up its equality game. The age of yamato nadeshiko is over.

Later, men over there complain that women want to focus on their careers, but considering how they treat them as second-class citizens? Yeah, no. Women are NOT servants.

Yeah, I heard about this resignation as a breaking news via the NHK World app on my smartphone, what happened is well a very long story and I won't talk about it here.

Bad look for Fuji TV, but I hope Shimizu-san is able to do some good in his position. [/quote]

Depends on the jurisdiction. In some places, it might be forced sexual touching that is not penetrative. For example, forcibly copping a feel on a woman would be sexual assault not rape in various parts of the USA
