Women “would have their uteruses removed when they turn over 30,” Naoki Hyakuta, leader of the Conservative Party of Japan, said in a stream on his YouTube channel on Friday.

On the channel, he also said that he would make it law for “women who are single after 25 years old not to be allowed to marry.”

(…)

Later, Hyakuta posted an apology on his X account. “I cannot deny that the expressions were too harsh,” he said. “I apologize for those who were offended.”

    My apologies. I totally flipped some numbers. It’s actually 7% of people (not children) surveyed believe that chocolate milk is from brown cows.

    Now the survey wasn’t too robust with 5000 total respondents but it’s still embarrassing that that number isn’t like “Seven American adults in total believe chocolate milk is from brown cows”

    Here’s a CNN fluff piece on it https://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/16/us/chocolate-milk-help-trnd/index.html

      No need to apologize. At best, I have to do it, because you managed to make me laugh while at the same time lose a little bit of hope for humanity.

      How can someone be that uninformed?!
