Japanese mayor: Men should grocery shop during pandemic because women take too long

The mayor of Japan's third-largest city is facing a public backlash after he suggested men are better suited to grocery shopping during the coronavirus pandemic, because women take too long and contribute to overcrowding at supermarkets.
The number of confirmed cases of the virus in Japan has spiked in recent weeks -- dashing hopes that the government's initial virus response had succeeded in controlling its spread. As of Thursday, Japan had 11,950 confirmed cases, including 299 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. On March 1, the country had 243 cases.
That spike has seen a raft of new restrictions put in place nationwide. On Thursday, Osaka mayor Ichiro Matsui implied male grocery shoppers would reduce the potential spread of the virus as they would spend less time in stores.
"Women take a longer time grocery shopping because they browse through different products and weigh out which option is best," Matsui told reporters at a coronavirus press conference in Osaka on Thursday.
"Men quickly grab what they're told to buy so they won't linger at the supermarket -- that avoids close contact with others," added Matsui.

I have three areas that I use in the grocery store on my trips:
1. Steaks
2. Booze
3. Milk and Eggs
Most trips take 10 minutes.

That's just good common sense.

I mean, he probably shouldn’t say it out loud, but this is 100% accurate.
What’s also funny is that this phenomenon also crosses cultural lines. Even the Japanese experience the same thing as us, that women take too long when shopping.

What in the frick are Americans doing that other countries aren’t? Or vice versa?
Japan is densely populated and they have a fraction of the Rona cases we do.

This is the problem. Our society has now been conditioned to tiptoe around women and minorities to the point that we can’t say harmless, or in many cases, true things for fear of “backlash”.
