Ota apologized, Yamasaki told a press conference. "Gang rape shows the people who do it are still virile, and that is OK. I think that might make them close to normal," Ota, a 57-year-old House of Representatives member, said Thursday during a debate with other politicians in Kagoshima

This is the weirdest and funniest thread I've seen since I got here. It's strewn with inconsistencies everywhere. Why is it not in the "Humors and Tests" section ?
Let me answer my own question. Because it has to do with insanity. Then why is it not in the "Science & Technology" section ? It's because the original strangeness of this quite bizzare report threw off Maciamo's otherwise balanced judegement. In fact you gave a partial answer yourself, but why did you turn it into a social studies project ???
This deserves some serious attention from the psychological point of view. Are there any people versed in criminology or psychology on this forum ? If there are, was it because you (plural, psychologist, clinicians, practitioners, whatever) didn't want to get into the messy argument ??? Nobody talked about it till now, so I'll have to fill in temporarily.

He would lure them to remote places and take their lives, which gave him the illusion of absolute control, at which point he experienced orgasm and simultaneous ejaculation.
Already Satori mentioned the issue of control in rape incidents, but the connection to Mr. Seiichi Ota still hasn't been pursued at all. Why socialize an individual's (several individuals') problem?
I would like to offer a hypothesis on Mr. Seiichi Ota, who should be now 59 or soon to become 59. He is suffering from impotence. The reason is unclear, but that would have to be decided in a court directed psychological profiling. Whatever the actual cause, because he was suffering from a certain sexually dysfunctioning problem that incidentally caused the perpetrators to engage in gang rape, Mr. Seiichi Ota said,
"Gang rape could be tolerated as it shows the rapists are 'virile' and 'close to normal.'"
which was said to support his argument,
"Japan's declining child population [is] a phenomenon...[attributed to] a lack of courage among Japanese men to go into marriage life."
On the surface, Mr. Seiichi Ota's intention was to say
1. Japan used to have a decline in population.
2. The decline in population was due to Japanese men being timid about entering a married life.
3. But the gang rapes are sure signs that Japanese men are recovering their manhood, that they have become "virile, and normal again."
The obvious crack in his logic betrays the pathological symptoms that Mr. Seiichi Ota had been experiencing. His logic can only mean one thing. He himself was not virile, and had been constantly bothered by it, fantasizing about participating in gang rape, or possibly had acted out on this fatasy himself. At the discussion of "gang rapists" in the parliament, he immediately sympathized with the rapists because he was suffering from a categorically identical condition they were suffering.
I think it was not simply unfair to Japanese women who became victimzed to socialize the issue and find cause in the Japane/Asian DNA or culture, but unscientific to no measure. First study Mr. Seiichi Ota head, and those of the gang rapists. If that goes to show any positive diagnoses, go further to study other kinds of sex offenders. Blaming the Japanese women, Japanese' DNA's, Japanese culture, or switch Japanese with Asian, are just widefly off the mark as a serious thesis for discussion. Let's discuss science, not some baseless sociological b-s- that's worth little more than tabloid gossip material. How could anyone get so low ??? :okashii:
