How does threatening women with forced hysterectomies even make sense? Is the solution to increase birthrates not as simple as implementing policies that just make having a family easier, like better job security and shorter work days/weeks/years?

So he wanted forced hysterectomies, ban women over 30 from getting married, and restrict women's access to education so they could focus on babies. I love that all of this pressure is on women like it's just them being stubborn and not a reaction to the society they're trying to survive in. It also alludes that men are otherwise thriving, with no other issues than women's lack of interest causing their disinterest. Men aren't looking to have kids either. And I don't think forcing them to limit their own dating pool and knowing that they'll have to fully support a pregnant, uneducated wife and possibly multiple children is going to make anyone rock hard. Japanese people are already worked to death, and everything is sp competitive. Maybe deal with that before wtf that plan was???

Hysterectomy is a big, risky and expensive surgery. Just snip the men at 35 (for average couple age difference), same panic effect but way less expensive.

/s just to make sure, super bad idea probably breaching multiple human rights agreements either way

The Taliban are nice and moderate compared to this.

Yeah, perfect solution for declining birth-rates. I literally can't think of ANY other way, no matter how reasonable it might be.

That even beats the retrograde force of islam. I'm impressed.

How about bettering the lifes of people, so they might be more inclined to procreate in this grotesque society? I didn't procreate decades ago because the world was nuts, and boy was i right to do so. The world is even more grotesque and bonkers now. If i see people, that are not very rich, with kids i immediately have to judge their lack of judgment and their gargantuan egocentrism.

No, stupid idea. Hystoectomies and total control of women is the only real solution. It's all their fault.

Is Japan facing the brutal cost of living situation as other developed countries?

The misogynistic idea was quickly dismissed by women across the country, forcing Hyakuta to apologise. In his apology, he clarified that his comments were were framed as a "science-fiction storyline" to help start a discussion on the falling birth rate.

He admitted that his opinions were "extremely harsh" and denied that he advocates for such drastic measures against women. "I meant to say that we cannot transform the social structure unless we do something that goes that far. I want to retract my remarks and apologise," he was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.

olololollol fuck all the way off
