Speaking of Glass Ceilings

I was on the train today, heading to work, and I glanced up at the ad above the door and took the time to read it during the several stops before getting off. Here's the gist of it:

It was a sign for iCute, or something along those lines, a website dedicated to helping Japanese women find jobs. And so of course they have the little progression of how it works. First you contact iCute, then they get your information and help match you to a job. Then, you gain experience, and learn new skills, which will Level Up! your competitive edge in the workplace, and then, at the apex of the iCute experience, you land the job you always wanted, as an OL, or Office Lady, which is basically the female equivalent of SalaryMan, except that OL's are secretaries to SalaryMen, and are culturally forbidden to progress higher than that or be the boss of anyone but other women. Beside the final part of the progression is a hip, attractive cartoon woman with suit pants on and a blouse that's unbuttoned from the breasts down to expose her midriff, accentuating the semi-professional, yet completely objectified and non-serious nature of this, the pinnacle of the female workforce.

So what I'm supposed to take from this is what? That the point of a woman searching for a job is to end up as a completely dead end OL, marry their boss and retire into housewifery and baby-making for the rest of their days? Well, ya, I guess, seeing as that's the way of life out here. What's worse is that the women buy it too, that's all 90% of them want anyway, so they're not complaining. What a crock. What a bunch of misogynists.

You know what the #1 sought after job in this country is for women? Flight attendant. I'm not kidding.
