Male employee sues bridal company over 'paternity harassment'
Original: パタハラ
A male employee in Japan has filed a damages lawsuit against a bridal company, claiming he suffered 'pata-hara' — paternity harassment — after a manager reportedly said of his childcare leave paperwork, 'I'll tear up this leave application.' The case highlights growing workplace resistance to men taking childcare leave and is drawing attention to how companies treat fathers using parental leave entitlements.
Why now: The lawsuit spotlights rare legal action over harassment of men taking paternity leave, a hot issue in Japan as the government pushes fathers to take leave.
