In this Monday, June 23, 2014 photo, Tokyo assemblyman Akihiro Suzuki bows to apologize for his remarks to his female colleague Ayaka Shiomura during a press conference at Tokyo Metropolitan City Hall in Tokyo. The uproar over the rude comments aimed at Ayaka Shiomura by several male lawmakers, including Suzuki, reflects both greater awareness of women's issues and the pervasiveness of traditional chauvinist attitudes in business and political circles. The latter poses a major challenge to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's goal of greater advancement for Japan's well-educated but underemployed women, a mainstay in his arsenal of strategies for reviving the economy.
