Osaka's mayor in Japan under fire for suggesting men should do grocery shopping because women are too indecisive and "take a long time" amid COVID-19 outbreak

At least its not as condescending as Malaysias Minister for Women and Families was recommending:

" KUALA LUMPUR: Married women in Malaysia were briefly issued a set of recommendations on how to manage their households and husbands during the movement control order, including speaking in "Doraemon's voice" and giggling coyly.

The Women and Family Ministry on Monday (Mar 30) posted several tips on social media on how to avoid domestic arguments between husband and wife.

"If you see your husband carry out a task in a manner that clashes with your own method, avoid nagging," the ministry said wives should instead use "humorous" words and phrases such as "this is the proper way to hang the clothes for drying, my dear ".

The ministry also recommended that women should "mimic the tone of Doraemon" and follow their statements with a coy and feminine laugh.

Should arguments arise and strain feelings, the ministry advised women to "count from one to 20" before responding.

"Within the span of 20 seconds, the brain will become more rational and calm when making decisions," it said. the ministry also urged wives to avoid wearing "home clothes" during the movement control order: "Present yourself as per usual, wear makeup and dress neatly."
