Why is it so difficult for women to survive? Because implicit discrimination is everywhere!
Works by Chizuru Ueno, author of "Misogyny"!
Chizuru Ueno's signed version! Published in Simplified Chinese for the first time!
The theoretical source of the shocking speech at the opening ceremony of the University of Tokyo in 2019!
Analyze the implicit discrimination faced by women from the political, economic, legal and cultural perspectives!
1. The birth of a girl: Japanese people prefer to have daughters. Has the status of Japanese women increased?
In a society with a low birthrate and an aging society, it is precisely because women's "gender division of labor status has not changed." The preference for having daughters only increased as parents preferred the care of daughters rather than daughters-in-law.
2. Girls' education: In a highly educated society, do parents invest equally in their children's education?
Although both men and women "are in two markets: the labor market and the marriage market," many parents prefer to invest in the marriage market for their daughters.
3. Women's job hunting: "Men only" is not allowed in recruitment. Has the environment for women's job search become better?
Although this type of recruitment has disappeared on the surface, gender discrimination such as asking women about their marital status during interviews is still very real.
4. Women's promotion: There are few female leaders. Is it because there are few women with leadership skills?
The lack of leadership among women is a prejudice. "Positions can cultivate abilities. In the past, women simply did not have the opportunity to obtain such positions that cultivate abilities."
5. The return of working mothers: Is "consideration" towards working mothers a form of discrimination?
"Deliberately reducing the overtime hours of working mothers and removing them from positions with heavier responsibilities. Behind this kind of 'consideration' is 'discrimination'."
