This study examines the ideas and historical logic of the Japanese Women's Liberation Movement in the early 1970s, and considers the affects that played a role in the women’s liberation movement's uprising and failure. The image of the movement, which argued that true women's liberation requires the dismantling of patriarchy and the liberation of sexuality, has been largely perceived as an overly radical or negative women's movement so far. However, it's important to understand that the movement was largely built on the empathy and support of ordinary women, and that Woman's Lib's work, which centered on opposing the Eugenics Act to secure women's sexual rights, was intertwined with women's resistance to state-enforced sexual repression from the war years. This study examines the discriminatory discourses and attacks on women who resisted the androcentric paradigm. History has repeatedly shown us that when marginalized groups, such as women, come together in solidarity and make their voices heard, they are viewed as mobs that disrupt society. This can be said to be closely related to modern historical experiences such as hate politics. The forces of the affects that was unleashed then coexisted, resonated, intervened, and continued to grow in influence. The significance of this study is that it reassesses the limits and implications of women's resistance practices as minorities by focusing on the affects that erupted through the solidarity of ordinary women at the time and the forces that sought to control them.
