A college in Beijing has found itself at the centre of public fury after it allegedly asked a student to prove she was on her period to qualify for sick leave.

A viral video, filmed inside what appears to be a clinic and posted to social media this month, shows a young woman asking an older woman: "Does every menstruating girl have to take off their trousers and show you before they can get a sick note?"

"Basically yes," the older woman replies. "This is a school rule."

In the video, the staff member did not reply when the student asked for written proof of the school regulation to check students' menstrual status. She subsequently asked the student to go to a hospital instead.

i thought the subtext was a copy of the article, you know, so used to paywalls

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

lol I understand. Articles are usually much longer than that, though, and the BBC so far has no paywall.

It's shocking how many articles I've seen in recent years with only one or two sentences.

Not MSM, though.

I wish

MSM are actually the only people I've seen do that.

There are creepy teachers anywhere you go. Anywhere there are a lot of people, you will find some creeps.

Anywhere there are people, regardless of population density, there will be some with badly wired brain cells.
