Japan’s health and labour minister has defended workplaces that require women to wear high heels to work, arguing it is “necessary and appropriate” after a petition was filed against the practice.

The remark came when Takumi Nemoto was asked to comment on a petition by a group of women who want the government to ban workplaces from requiring female jobseekers and employees to wear high heels.

The petition was submitted to the labour ministry on Tuesday. The campaign has been dubbed #KuToo, a play on words from the Japanese word “kutsu”, meaning shoes, and “kutsuu”, meaning “pain”.

The movement was launched by the actor and freelance writer Yumi Ishikawa and quickly won support from thousands of people online.

Campaigners say wearing high heels in Japan is near-obligatory when job hunting or working in many Japanese companies.

High heels fetish

selowan....

Not necessary, but nice to have.
High heels make a woman look more confident.

Hnnggghhhh

japan has good school system.

also japan, high suicide rate, fukkup porn , high stress work culture, same level as middle east for respecting women etc

Nowhere near as bad as Middle East lar.

Middle East is on a completely different level.

And their porn is no more fucked up than elsewhere lar. People just focus on Japan's but note that 2 Girls 1 Cup isn't Japanese. Well, they do have scat fetish porn as well but so does everyone else.

Yup not necessary. But then the japs are known to be relics in their practices anyway.

No need heels also ok.. go crocs

TS, does beng wears high heels for u? Lol!

GG-080

next thing: executive dress unnecessary

then: perfume unnecessary

then: makeup unnecessary

finally the dream feminist society will be achieved:

Malaysian worker bila sampai office semua tukar Japanese slippers...
Applied to man and women

Actually, been wondering for a long time now. Why need wear high heels?

I understand it looks somewhat appropriate but it is far from necessary. Anything that can have impact on worker productivity is far from "necessary".

Ties are appropriate but it is not necessary. Only reason to wear is for high social events. But normal working hours? Zero reason to wear.

that's why

1st world country,.. parliament make policy on high heels,...

Everyone ok when Japanese minister quote like this. All neutral to positive comments.

If our own minister came out the exact statement, it would be more than 10 pages long bashing it.

Ayam saw "prestige"

Code pls

it is necessary for male employees' health

So is a suit and tie.
But at least suit and tie don't carry as much risk as high heels
Those photos barefoot also you still fap to it what

of coz
