2012年，田部井淳子接受《日本时报》采访时说，她为人们对自己登山的看法感到骄傲。
"Back in 1970s Japan, it was still widely considered that men were the ones to work outside and women would stay at home.
“上世纪70年代的日本,人们普遍认为男人应该外出工作，女人则要呆在家里。”
"Even women who had jobs - they were asked just to serve tea. So it was unthinkable for them to be promoted in their workplaces."
“即使那些有工作的女人，也只是给别人倒茶而已。女人在工作上升职是无法想象的。”
