You may be right with the other bits - Obviously I haven`t experienced everything......
However, the quoted bit is DEFINITELY without a doubt wrong.
Schools WANT female teachers. They will almost always choose a female teacher over a male. It gets left out of English ads, but they`ll even say it in the original Japanese ones (which I have translated so many of I cannot even begin to count.)
In the experience of every non-Japanese I have ever spoken to here... You have 5 times better a chance to be hired if your female - and double that if you`re blonde.
Just out of curiosity - What sort of places have you been refused entry to? And under what circumstances?
