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."

Creepy! I remember one time having a hall pass and going to piss and having the adult hall monitor follow me in (after seeing the pass) and listening outside the stall. It's difficult to explain how...demoralizing that is?

Should have went directly to the principal and reported them for breathing creepily outside your bathroom stall.

So the written rule was never produced?

So we have some middle aged hag harassing young women for sport?

Hmm I wonder why 🙄

school rule? it's even written?

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.

read the article people

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.

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.
