Inada always seemed like a strange choice for Defense Minister even though her predecessor was also a woman. (I wondered why the Defense Minister in the film Shin Godzilla was female.)

The Defence Minister of Japan was always going to be a difficult job. Article 9 just makes the responsibility contradictory. It could almost be a type of sexism to pick a woman for the job, thinking that a female is less likely to be militant than a man. It is obviously not logical, but politics rarely is about logic.
