    Why are all these women conservative? What’s there to gain for them? I feel like conservative views work against women rather than for them? At least that’s what I’ve grown up believing.

      Since no one else said it yet, it’s called “pulling up the ladder behind you”.

      The only way to get ahead of being subjugated is to become one of the subjugators yourself. It’s been most women politicians go to move in modern history, “Join the ruling class before I’m beneath their heel” as the only solution their brains can come up with for survival, even though in the end that always ends up happening anyway.

      “First they came for the communists…”

      I don’t they care about other women. Or people in general. If you an upper class woman running for politics then such policies would never affect you personally. Consequences are for “lesser” people.

      This is just what she choose to built her political career upon, because such views are popular in Japan and therefore she would be able garner support and boring base. What matters is that it will get her to power. I sincerely doubt she actually believes into any of that.
