>A member of AKB48, one of the most popular girl bands in Japan, has just had her hair close-cropped in penance for her ‘overnight stay’ with a guy. Is this right to forbid a woman in her twenties to develop her own romantic relationships? Is it inevitable if she wants success as a pop idols? Is this public embarrassment or an appropriate punishment for breaking a contract? Or, thinking more cynically, is this just a ploy to keep the band in the news after the recent corporal punishment case at an Osaka high school?

>Appearing in the video with close-cropped hair, Minegishi says in a tearful voice: ‘I am sorry for all the troubles I’ve caused you — members, fans, staff and family. As one of the first members who joined the group, I should have been a role model for the other girls who joined after me, but what I’ve actually done was careless and thoughtless.’ She also explained why she’d had her hair cropped, saying: ‘My mind went blank, didn’t know what I could do, but I couldn’t bear do nothing once I saw my scandal published a weekly magazine, so I decided to have my hair close-cropped without talking about it with anyone’. She tearfully continued: ‘I know it’s naive of me but I don’t want to quit AKB48. It’s all my fault. I am terribly sorry,’ then bowed deeply.

>The story of Minegishi’s ‘overnight stay’ was published on January 31 by Shukan Bunshun. According to the magazine, she stayed at the dancer’s place in Setagaya ward on the night of January 17. Her partner was Shirahama Aran (19), a dancer from ‘GENERATIONS’, who are a younger version of ‘EXILE’. They first met in autumn 2011 when both were performing the play ‘If you were…’

>Since all romantic relationships are forbidden in the group, she showed her contrition by having her hair close-cropped.

What I tried to say with my example is that it makes sense that Japan really tries hard to not let the outside world mess up with their culture. In Japan, raping 2D girls isn't as HORRIBLE and OMINOUS as it is in the west. I'd imagine that the way they treat women follows the same example.

Well yeah, it's probably a pretty big emotional hit.

She chose to do it herself though. You could probably extrapolate that to the entire cultural climate that makes her think she needs to do that, but then it becomes a clusterfuck discussion of choosing a particular job that involves appealing to a demographic vs why that job should even exist and how it isn't in line with other cultures and all that and that discussion always ends up accomplishing fuck all.

Why is this thread posted every fucking day?
What is the big deal. she shaved her head?
What is this, why is everyone in an uproar? Guys have short hair too, some girls have short hair too. why is this a big deal i dont understand what the fuck what is going on who are these people making these threads?

Was she a mini samson? did she lose all her nazarite powers for cutting off her hair?

Please someone tell me, what is the injustice going on here? What is the cruelty, what are people in an uproar about?

What if he came so hard he knocked the hair off of her?

I bet the dancer was fired, never to be employed again.

Also, note that being a feminist means that you are unable to accept that another member of your same sex might have done something stupid and uncalled-for on her own accord, like deciding to go to the hairdresser and get her head shaven. It must be a conspiracy of the kyriarchy.
