PugJesusJapanese schoolgirls training with a machinegun for the anticipated American invasion of Japan, WW2, 1945
FiniteBanjoWere women allowed in school in Dai Nippon Empire? They barely get accepted nowadays.
The fuck you on about
It was a jab at women being rejected from universities in Japan, ongoing cultural problem. Also a legitimate question as well, I have no idea what sort of rights were afforded to women in Japan before their occupation by the USA, but I know historically they were treated like objects and dealt with footbinding or other body modifications.
I thought foot binding was a Chinese tradition?
I don’t really care who started it but it became really popular to bind dancer’s feet into very tiny shoes in Heian Japan starting in the 10th century, and it continued until it was banned some time after WWII. There was even a medical journal article about it in 1937.
