Japan now has their first female PM, who will sway the country further to the right.
Do you know why women who get the most politically powerful roles often come from the right?
Because they're not accepted by default in a patriarchal political structure, and thus have to be more cutthroat and demonstrate a willingness to put forward the most harmful ideas and enact the cruelest political moves. Right wing men love to see women willing to put their face on things so they can claim some degree of progressiveness and deflect criticisms of sexism while still upholding patriarchal values.
It is not "progress" just because a woman is in the driver's seat.
