Ridiculous reasons people believe women can’t make good sushi, as declared by sushi ‘expert’ Kazuyoshi Ono:
1. Our menstrual cycles affects our sense of taste
2. Our higher body temperatures ruin the fresh ingredients
3. Our makeup screws with our sense of smell – essential to making good sushi
4. We might attract bears to the kitchen when we’re on our periods (okay, we made that one up. But it’s just as silly as the others)
Evidence to the contrary: Nadeshiko Sushi, the first sushi restuarant in Japan run entirely by women. Take that, sushi sexists.
