International Women's Day.

I am so stunned by what I read in the Metro I just had to share it. I see this as a slightly more productive than screaming at some newsprint...
I know anyone familiar with the rag that is the Metro will not be surprised at rage directed at it, but this rage is not anything to do with the letters page. Not even slightly. It is to do with the article to do with protests about female repression and inequality to mark International Women's Day.
Apparently female applicants for art or fashion at the Wuhan Science and Technology Institute have to parade in underwear to get a place.
Obviously there are many more examples of inequality, repression and pure evil directed towards women in the world because they had the poor luck of being born female. Insisting that prospective students parade about semi naked is degrading and undermines anything they accomplish as students, but compared to systematic rape, torture, and death meeted out at the hands of not just strangers, but governments and family members too, it pales into insignificance.
But that doesn't mean to say that voices shouldn't be raised.
