Yoshiro Mori, the former Tokyo Olympic official, had a short one-year stint as Japan’s Prime Minister whose frequent gaffes led a legendary story(?) of meeting then Prez Bill Clinton: “Before the recent G8 summit in Okinawa, Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori was coached in a bit of English. Upon meeting Clinton, he was to say “How are you?” The response was supposed to be “I’m fine, thank you. And you?” Mori was to answer, “Me too.”When they actually met, Mori made a small slip-up and said, “Who are you?”Clinton replied, “I’m Hillary’s husband.” To which Mori replied, “Me too.”
It has nothing to do with political correctness despite what a lot of people would have you believe. It is reflective of a mindset that would objectify or diminish women which is not a cool thing in the 21st Century. Women represent over half of the world’s population and probably our better half. Trying to feel superior by making negative comments about women is actually very immature.
And by the way, I am not some Feminazi as the old Rush Lambast used to say. I am a 72 year old guy.
This wasn’t about political correctness he was just insulting. I am a woman who is very annoyed with all the PC and the cancel culture is ridiculous. Here is just part of what he said: “If we increase the number of female board members, we have to make sure their speaking time is restricted somewhat, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying,” said Mori, according to Reuters. “We have about seven women at the organizing committee but everyone understands their place.”
Have you seen the recent comments by the bozo near the top of the sad-sack Mariners? Somebody released his recent Zoom commentsI wonder if he will last beyond today ….people never learn.

You get in trouble for even making the most slightest politically incorrect comment.
