Imagine these rules before contact lenses...
Women are almost always, always, the impetus for huge social movements (both for their own and for general liberation).... Japan is clearly due for one of those. The stuff about how women also can almost never move up in the work world too comes to mind.
I am not an expert on Japanese culture, but banning women from wearing glasses in the workplace sounds like pretty fucking clear gender discrimination in the most backward ass way. What century are they living in?
Now that the article stated that, I don't think I've ever seen a glasses and kimono combo 🤔
I hear #MeToo has started to catch on in South Korea. It's high time for Women's' Rights movements to take ground in Japan and start some cultural revolutions!

Would be great if Thanos snapped this and every fucker on this planet who thinks like him out of existence.

So, this is where the trope of girls falling on top of the protagonist come from.
wtf Japan
let your employees wear glasses
Jesus,
I find women in the office who wear glasses to be as feminine as those without glasses

Japan is fucked up on way too many levels. Literally preventing someone from mitigating an impairment, in the name of looking feminine? Na get to fuck
That professor is a woman who is explaining where the old ideas might come from, but she is actually supporting the movement against discrimination.
Not only just gender discrimination but also ableism as well.
I mean my grandma is an angry old, semi racist, relic of a bygone era but I wouldn't wish death upon her for that.
I'm pretty sure Japan is the only place you'd find businesses prohibiting employees from wearing glasses and businesses where employees must wear glasses.
Him who? Prof Nemoto is a woman (why did you assume it was a man? *suggestive eyebrow raise*), and she isn't endorsing but merely describing the corporate position.
oh my fucking god
That is infuriating.
Trying to dress it up as a safety concern is gross

Cant post this without translating, this isnt a Japanese forum -_-
oh my fucking god
1: For safety
2: Gives cold impression
3: Makes makeup hard to see
4: Doesn't go with traditional clothing
This is not a common thing in Japan.
Most people didn't even know it's a thing until news of certain businesses doing it came out.

Considering I have a preference for women who wear glasses, this is offensive.
