After the imposition of high heels .. Japanese companies prevent workers from wearing glasses

Some Japanese companies have banned women from wearing glasses at work, claiming that they do not fit the appeal of traditional women and give the impression of cold and conceal their powders, shortly after they were forced to wear shoes "high heels."

Some companies in Japan believe wearing glasses is not suitable for women at work, the Washington Post said, citing their condemnation and imposition on women rather than men.

The decision caused a stir in Japan, and women resorted to social media to end the ban on glasses by launching the "forbidden glasses" label, which began sweeping Japan since last Wednesday.

Discomfort
The prevalence of the ban is not clear due to the lack of official figures, while the BBC believes it is not yet known whether the ban is based on company policies or only reflects socially acceptable practice in these workplaces.

In their reactions to the resolution, Japanese women were deeply disturbed by the scrutiny of their bodies in a way that their male counterparts were not exposed to.

Many online commentators have linked the ban to the recent uproar caused by some Japanese workplaces asking women to wear high-heeled shoes that may be uncomfortable and difficult to work for long hours, as well as health problems.

Coto movement
Earlier this year, Japanese women began expressing their indignation at workplace restrictions through the Kuo-tu movement, a phrase that incorporated three Japanese words: one means shoes, the other means pain, and the third is the last part of the global feminist movement. Me-too.

"If wearing glasses is a real problem at work, it should be banned for everyone, men and women. The problem with glasses is the same as the problem of high heels," she said.

Many women in Japan have been subjected to these practices, hoping to repeal dress codes specifically targeting them in the workplace, and some have petitioned the government to prevent companies from enforcing dress codes that activists say discriminate against women.
