This story tells of a sad incident involving a female self-defense instructor and a CEO. The instructor, who is very skilled and qualified in her field, is assigned to lead a self-defense workshop at a company. But when she arrives, the CEO assumes that the man with her is the instructor, completely ignoring the fact that she is the one in charge. Despite her efforts to prove her expertise and role, the CEO keeps ignoring her, clearly showing unfair treatment based on her gender. The story highlights the difficulties that women face in industries mostly dominated by men and emphasizes the importance of fighting against gender discrimination to create a fair and inclusive workplace.
