…breaking a record for female directors that was previously held by Patty Jenkins, who helmed “Wonder Woman.”
Because the director is female, which means males and females are different, or because she is a talented human being, meaning talent is more important than one’s gender?

Insane world we live in.
If the woman had an abortion just before she was to give birth, she would not be charged with corpse abandonment.
But because she disposed of her son’s body herself, she’s charged with corpse abandonment.

Posted in: Man deemed eligible for workplace compensation after sexual orientation outed by boss See in context
The city of Kunitachi, which hosts the university, and some other local authorities have since implemented ordinances that specifically ban the outing of sexual minorities…
”Sexual minorities” is also a term so wide in meaning that it becomes practically useless in conversation. Sexual minorities includes anyone with a sexual fetish. It includes rapists (unless you are an activist that views every reproductive act as a rape). It includes pedophiles.
And on and on.

Posted in: Man deemed eligible for workplace compensation after sexual orientation outed by boss See in context
Terms real need to be defined.
This fellow’s sexual preference was shared by his boss, not his sexual orientation. (Nature and reason inform us that we are all oriented toward a reproductive coupling. Anything else is preference.)
And what does being “gay” mean? Having same-sex attraction but not acting upon it? Having same-sex attraction and rarely acting upon it? Or living the gay lifestyle?
As long as these terms do not relate to specific realities, people will continue speaking past one another.

Abortions are the number one cause of death worldwide. 42,000,000 human beings a year…and Japan’s Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry are interested in increasing that number for…what? Improvement of the citizenry’s health!?!
Insanity, to say the very least.

Posted in: Kishida pledges ministerial meeting on child sex abuse after Johnny's allegations See in context
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledged Monday to hold a ministerial meeting to address the issue of child sexual abuse…
Are not child sexual abusers a sexual minority? And is there not a current campaign in Japan to grant equal rights to sexual minorities, e.g. same-sex marriage, according to articles here in Japan Today? Then on what basis is there a need to hold a ministerial meeting? What happened to equal rights for ALL sexual minorities?
If only certain sexual minorities can receive equal rights, who is to say which minorities and what rights? Who is the government to impose its own dogmatic definition of what is consent or sexual abuse upon others who do not conform to their narrow views of morality? In other words, as sexual political activists often use as a challenge against marriage being between a man and a woman, "What harm is there in letting people do what they want with their own lives?"

The rise of Postmodernism, the belief that objective reality does not exist including objective morality, in America has led to a decline in the quality of the social fabric. When people march to the beat of their own subjective moral drum, sociopathy rises. A wise person once said, “The difference between ‘doing what comes naturally’ and principled self-restraint is called ‘civilization’.”
Let us pray that people learn to recognize the falsehood that is Postmodern thought.
