The head of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee on Wednesday said that meetings with many women tend to "drag on" for longer than necessary.

"The education ministry has been very insistent about choosing female directors. But a board meeting with plenty of women will make it drag on," Yoshiro Mori said, referring to the Japanese Olympic Committee's plan to increase the number of women on its board.

Somebody told me that if we increase the number of women (on the board), we have to also restrict their speaking time to an extent. Otherwise they'll never stop, which is problematic," Mori said


Update

Mori, 83, apologised at a hastily called news conference, but when pressed on whether he really thought women talked too much, he said: "I don't listen to women that much lately so I don't know".

And now we know the real reason they want men to play women's sports now.

Gender equality and consideration for people with disabilities were supposed to be a given for the Tokyo Games. It is unfortunate to see the president of the organizing committee make such a remark," she said.


I love how the quote groups together women and people with disabilities.

He should request sensitivity training and be left alone with all of the women’s beach volleyball teams.

Poor fellow. He better sharpen his tanto. The World's Progressives will now demand a public apology in the form of seppuku.

Wow, he made it even worse when he apologized.
