An official resigned by suspected harassment.
A vice-minister of Ministry of Finance resigned last week due to the suspected sexual harassment reported by a weekly magazine. According to the article, a female journalist who belongs to TV Asahi, secretly recorded his voice of naughty words spoken in private and let them leak to the magazine publisher. Now we can hear the recorded voice in websites. Meanwhile, on TV shows, commentators criticized the vice-minister harshly, condemned the harassment he had done to her. They say that the female journalist had overcome the risk of retaliation, stood up as the “whistle-blower” to let our society aware of the insult women had to tolerate..
Yes, they are right. I agree that sexual harassment is not good. It is ethically wrong… But I can’t help but feel something is going wrong in this discussion.
