A June survey by Gorilla Clinic found 53.5% opposed wearing shorts to work in the summer while 46.5% were in favour of the new recommendation.

...

Akifumi Funatsu, the director of Gorilla Clinic, says he has noticed more clients coming to the clinic not just for cosmetic reasons, but as a matter of "social etiquette when wearing shorts". He thinks women believe that "men should have less leg hair", which has prompted them to seek laser hair removal so as not to offend those around them.

So a clinic that does hair removal does a survey. More women than men respond. They respond "guys are totally asking about our services". This feels more like an ad for them and trying to make men feel like they can/should do this than actual, proper research.

Others say the policy is unfair to women since they are still expected to wear tights when showing a part of their legs.

This, and a bunch of other stupid rules women are required to follow are a real problem that needs addressing.
