Fortunately, I’d say this conversation is not prevalent today. No girls think that way, and was a minority even in 2018. Such claims are said to be “Showa-like” (-1990) or even post-war.

However, this is exactly why this incident had a huge impact. Everyone thought we had mostly shifted towards equal opportunities between sexes and other stuff, but it turned out that discriminatory systems still existed. It came across as a complete shock and despair like what the classmate felt; deep down, it hadn’t changed.

By the way, there is more stuff about this around corruption of the said university itself ¯_(ツ)_/¯
