Japan has elected its first female prime minister. Sadly, she’s a “flag bearer of traditional and nationalist ideals.”

Among many other positions of concern, she “opposes same-sex marriage, and a growing movement to allow married couples to use separate surnames.”

“She has openly aspired to be like Margaret Thatcher, the first woman to become British prime minister.”
