I'm actually hoping it's like you said, and that there's no prerequisite, because whilst I own many suits I don't own a single skirt, and it seems somewhat sexist to me, too. So yeah, lol, hopefully someone can let me know what the deal is on that front, it'd be hugely helpful. |
LOL! You're entirely correct that that school requires skirts. It looks like the owner is a full-bred dirtbag pushing his weight internationally where he knows he won't get slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit!
I strongly feel that he is the small minority, in businesses owned by foreigners of course.
In Japanese owned businesses expect that skirts, a pound of make-up and regular visits to the hair salon and nailist are required. Oh and the ability to brush off blatant acts of physical sexual harassment from superiors as a necessary responsibility. Think 1920's America.
I may be slightly exaggerating, but I shit you not that the amount of women in Japan who'd say that description makes their job sound nice is enough to alarm the average westerner.
