Japan is fighting against feminism on college campus
A Tokyo medical school systematically cut women applicant’s entrance exam scores for years to keep them out and boost the numbers of male doctors, Japanese media said on Thursday.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made creating a society “where women can shine” a priority, but women still face an uphill battle in employment and hurdles returning to work after having children, despite Japan’s falling birthrate.
The exam score alterations were discovered in an internal investigation of a graft allegation that emerged this spring over entrance procedures for Tokyo Medical University, the Yomiuri Shimbun daily said.
From 2011, it said, the university began cutting the scores of female applicants to keep the number of women students at about 30 percent, after the number of successful women entrants jumped in 2010.
The paper quoted university sources as saying the action was prompted by a “strong sense at the school” that many women quit medicine after graduating to get married and have children.

Try not to think about the trillions lost (in actual and oppertunity cost) we've lost educating women why then were not productive neither afterward (by working) or during (when they could've been having and raising kids).
I like their thinking. Why waste time and resources in an investment that could very well not pay off in the long run?
I don't know about medicine specifically but this whole deal of Asian women (not just Japanese) entering the work force —or even just college— simply as a strategy to search for a potential husband and latter quit to become housewives the moment they've sunk their claws into him and gained access to his resources is something I've heard a lot about throughout the years.
Good going Japan, keep fighting the good fight.
wtf japan?
I mean.. All that happens when you let Women into the higher end of the job market is it creates more miserable Women and less opportunities for Men to fulfill their role as bread winner. And even Feminists don't pretend anymore that they don't want their Men to be the breadwinner - they just don't realize that everything they believe is counter intuitive for everything they desire.
Women are making themselves miserable - they should not be competing with men. It's maybe like 1/15 men who actually find ambition in Women attractive - the rest just see it for what it is, a boorish tainting of Femininity into some kind of perverse pseudo-homosexual monstrosity.
Expect a lot more poz in general to reach Japan during the next couple of years, the (((Olympics))) are coming, after all.
legitimate issue honestly, but people will kneejerk react to this and cry sexism, no doubt
