  • The conversation started when Japan's local Nippon TV aired a story asking major companies why they require female employees to wear contact lenses instead of spectacles
    • According to BBC, the documentary that was aired last Wednesday, 6 November, revealed that a domestic airline reportedly has a no-glasses rule for flight attendants due to safety concerns, while a cosmetic company said it was difficult to see an employee's make-up behind their glasses.

      Some retail chains reportedly said glasses-wearing receptionists gave a "cold impression" while some restaurants said glasses didn't go well with their waitresses' kimonos.

      In an interview with Business Insider, a Japanese woman also said that her boss had told her that glasses are prohibited because she "needed to look feminine", also adding "that looking intelligent" can be a setback at work.

  • The prohibition on glasses is the latest prejudice faced by professional women in Japan
    • In March this year, according to Fortune, women railed against the common requirement by employers that they have to wear make-up at work.

      Also earlier this year, actor and writer Yumi Ishikawa sparked a Twitter movement with the hashtag 'KuToo' to criticise rules that require women to wear high heels to work.

      The hashtag plays on the Japanese words for shoe, or kutsu, and pain, kutsuu.

      She had also started an online petition signed by more than 31,000 supporters who agree that standing in heels all day should not be a job requirement for female workers.

  • "This problem with glasses is the exact same as high heels. It's only a rule for female workers," said Ishikawa
    • "If wearing glasses is a real problem at work it should be banned for everyone - men and women," she said.

      Meanwhile, when contacted by Fortune, labor ministry official Ryutarou Yamagishi said there has been no changes to rules governing dress codes, adding that he wasn't aware of the "glasses are forbidden" hashtag.

I fully support this ban. The only time I agree that girls can wear glasses is when they are not wearing anything else.

This commercial would not see the light of day now. It would be labelled sexist, demeaning, objectifying women etc.

That's why the feminazis destroy all the fun. They're even encroaching into the realms of technology and video games, criticizing any developments they find 'problematic'.

Insufferable cunts who use their bad experience with men (including their own fathers) as a form of political activism. :rolleyes:

Wearing glasses will not help ugly women to look attractive. Wearing glasses will not make attractive women look ugly. :biggrin:
