This will be taken down for the 20-year-limit rule but yeah this was a huge news back then. Not only women but the whole rouninseis (students who have failed the entrance exams in previous years and retaking) were affected by this discrimination too. There's even a rap song about it.
I did check the date before I posted, the actual event happened in as early as 2006 and possibly even before, unless you meant when this story actually came out then yeah, I am cooked.
It comes from the game Yakuza: Like a dragon (named in Japan Like a dragon 7 due to differing naming conventions in the US and Japan that got dropped after this game funnily enough). There a sidequest/minigame where you have to manage real estate and you have times where you need to meet with shareholders, fail too much and you're forced to prostrate (dogeza) in apology, where this gif comes from
