They demanded the resignation of the minister of health, labor and welfare.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Wednesday in the Diet session that he plans to keep Yanagisawa at his post. And Yanagisawa repeated his apology over his "machine" remark.

They lack in national consciousness.Yes they do lack, since the ultimate goal for them red feminists is racial cleansing.
The diet travesty is mostly the attempt to calm down the scandal that a certain opposition party has been receiving illegal donations from North Korea, by stiring things up using a minister's "inappropreate" comment which is false accusation as desctribed here: Link (http://www.jref.com/forum/showpost.php?p=434080)
