"As tiny minorities in Japanese politics, women have limited choices to survive and succeed; they can confront the boys' club politics or they can be loyal to them,” said Mayumi Taniguchi, an expert on women's roles in society and politics at the Osaka University of Arts. The only other earlier female candidate was Yuriko Koike, currently serving as Tokyo governor, who made a run in 2008.
Women comprise only about 10% of Japan's parliament, and analysts say many tend to try to advance by showing party loyalty rather than pursuing gender equality. Taniguchi, the analyst, says Takaichi's backing of the party majority is"unfortunate as her success could make many women think that speaking and acting on behalf of men is the way to be successful in this country.”
