Nanjing Normal University Instructor Involved in Sexual Push-up Scandal

Nanjing Normal University Instructor Involved in Sexual Push-up Scandal
Sep 16, 2014 By eChinacities.com

On September 14, a Nanjing Normal University military instructor allegedly punished his students by forcing the men to do push-ups on top of female students, as discovered after photos circulated on Weibo.

The instructor and the school received a lot of criticism, as the positions were seen as too ‘sexual’, not only by those involved but from internet users throughout the whole country.

A day later, Nanjing Normal University Director Xu Jianbo explained: “the instructor just asked them to perform something during a break, and some students volunteered to take this position. The instructor let them do it, but it was not a form of punishment, just inappropriate”

The officer and the school have already apologized to the students involved and their parents.

There was an article very recent about the causes for the increase in the 'reported' rapes. This is a great example of the number one reason which was omitted from that article.Cultural disrespect of women. China simply hates women. And they are held to silly standards of 'purity' and those standards are used to humiliate them for entertainment.

EXACTLY. A bunch of Chinese "men" getting excited about the sexualised humiliation of a Chinese girl. Note the school's predictable "nothing is wrong with this, everything is voluntary" story. This picture couldn't possibly be more timely, echinacities.

Don't speak on behalf of anyone else when you use homophobic slurs.

@Guest2590868: Chinese society teaches, promotes, defends and excuses misogyny. Saying so isn't heroism. It's an observation. And I strongly approve of feminism in the West. If Chinese girls started standing up for themselves in situations like this instead of feeling that they have no choice but to go along with it, that'd be splendid. --- Secondly, Western society has made more progress against traditional bigotry because people have actually questioned the prevailing attitudes. China doesn't do this. It only makes excuses for people's behaviour. Any culture that doesn't value equality NEEDS to be put down. --- And "beta male"? Please excuse me from any internet discussion with anyone trying to insinuate they have alpha status. I spend most of my time reading, writing, cycling and swimming (quiet activities that I can do by myself). My life doesn't revolve around competition with other males to find a mate, and I do not wish to be positioned anywhere in the Greek alphabet in regards to masculinity.

This whole thing is retarded and again isn't just that China is the worst when it comes to respect of woman. At least China is consistent because it doesn't respect anyone. It is horrible how society treats woman as symbols of sex. Nice avatar Samsara

@Carlstar: Thanks. I have no objection to fantasy art. What I object to is a society that devalues/ignores women's autonomy and individuality. As to China being "consistent" - Sure, but when people are taught that they can ridicule, despise and humiliate others (women, poor people, foreigners, dark skinned people, anyone who looks different) with a sense of entitlement and impunity, it is mainly a problem for the people being ridiculed, humiliated and despised. "Consistency" here does not imply "fairness" or "equality". Maybe Chinese people DO need to develop human empathy before addressing the problem of misogyny. Where to start is a difficult question.

@Samsara. What else is left for non Chinese in China but to ridicule? This is a great place to send all your racist, sexist and agest friends or enemies because they will then understand what it feel like... kind of... You just can't change attitudes to woman but it seems you can to dogs. So many people in China get up in arms about eating dogs now but people, fu(k em is the general attitude. You have to be rich and connected in China or you can expect the same old story "if you don't like it, go home"
