Good Luck.
man has filed lawsuit against all-women's university in Japan after they rejected his application to join university because he is male. unnamed man claims Fukuoka Women's University is discriminating against him based on his gender. He also claims university's policy of admitting female-only students is unconstitutional. The Japanese constitution states that all citizens have equal right to education. He wants university to accept his application to study and pay him 660,000 yen in damages for anguish caused by rejection. It is the first time in Japan that someone is suing national or public women's university over its constitutionality.

man believes he has good case. He said women's university was one of his only options to pursue career as dietician. He said: "If my application is rejected, path to become dietitian would be narrow as I will be forced to go to university [far away]." man's lawyer said women-only universities are anachronistic in today's world. He said: "In past, women's universities had role of giving preferential treatment to women who had fewer opportunities for education, but that role is no longer necessary." university official said: "We have 91-year history of promoting women's education. We are determined to continue to provide education to prepare women for leadership roles."
