His wife came out to defend him saying that she was responsible for his affairs for not being able to satisfy him at home.
Ugh. This is probably my absolute least favorite talking point in sexuality/relationship issues. Of course it's not Mrs. Ototake's fault that she thinks like this, if indeed she does really think like this.
This is pretty standard in traditional Chinese societies, especially in places like HK or Taiwan Province. Whatever the wife of a prominent personality might think their job is to publicly say stuff like this.
Yeah, I know it is; I've seen it before. It gives me the willies every time.
It's even worse when a politician in North America says it.
Has a North American politician's wife ever actually said this though?
