Japan's Health Minister:Women are reproducing Machines

Mr. Yanagiyawa, Japan's minister for Labor, Health and Welfare, said women are machines for reproducing during a public speech appearance. His words have stirred up a shock wave around Japan's politics.

Amid Japan's ever reducing population and births, a severe social problem facing Japan as I profiled before, there is no surprising that politicians are eager to encourage women in Japan to give more birth, however, with such a cabinet level speech, it is no doubt that Japanese women felt insulted.

If you want to encourage people, give them more money and less insulations.
