If you walk around any place on the planet, you will be directly staring into some form of sexism everywhere. Sometimes, it’s extremely severe and at some other places, it is also extremely ridiculous.

Case in point, according to The Guardian, some Japanese companies have decided to ban women from wearing spectacles in workplaces.

Some of these companies have claimed that glasses-wearing shop assistants gave customers a ‘cold impression’. 

This has started a massive outrage on Twitter, with #glassesareforbidden trending online. 

Earlier this year, there had also been a call for Japanese companies to stop forcing female staff to wear high heels. More than 21,000 people signed an online petition started by a female actor in what has become known as the #KuToo movement.
