Tokyo Medical School Scandal: Shocking Reports of Rigged Exams to Keep Women Out
Tokyo, Japan – In a stunning revelation, Japan’s Medical Education Foundation, which oversees Tokyo Medical University, has admitted to manipulating entrance exams to exclude women from attending the prestigious institution. This scandal has sent shockwaves through the medical community, sparking widespread outrage and calls for reform.
According to a statement released by the foundation, exam scores were deliberately adjusted to ensure that fewer women were accepted into the school. The manipulation, which took place over a period of several years, was allegedly done to maintain the school’s tradition of accepting only a limited number of female students.
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS
The shocking revelation comes to light as a result of an investigation by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The inquiry found that exam scores of female applicants were altered, resulting in them being ranked lower than their male counterparts.
The practice, known as "adjusting scores," was allegedly carried out by the school’s faculty members, who aimed to maintain a ratio of only 30% female students. This draconian measure was allegedly put in place to preserve the school’s "tradition" of having a predominantly male student body.
WOMEN’S RIGHTS ACTIVISTS SPEAK OUT
Women’s rights activists in Japan have been vocal in their condemnation of the scandal, calling for swift action to be taken against those responsible. "This is a clear violation of human rights and a blow to gender equality," said Hiroko Takahashi, a prominent women’s rights activist. "The fact that a prestigious institution like Tokyo Medical University would stoop to such tactics is appalling."
CALLS FOR REFORM
The scandal has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for reforms to the entrance exam system. "This scandal highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in our education system," said Shinji Inoue, a member of the Japanese Diet. "We must ensure that our schools provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of gender."

This story is old (2018) but I just saw it on my IG and it seems to be making rounds on reddit as well.
Idk I’m just in shock ig. I shouldn’t be surprised but here I am. Women seem to be constantly under attack. From education, to our physical safety (major news stories coming out from India and France, I won’t go into detail due to potential triggers) idk. It’s so fucked up.

Here’s some more info. It wasn’t just a medical school; it was THE medical school. They had a bonus point program where the first time a man applied; they received a bonus to their score. The second and third times, if they failed the first, they received a smaller bonus. The fourth time they applied, or if they were a woman applying for the first time, they had no bonus. Literally just for being a man they were put ahead, but despite that, many women still succeeded. Now things will start to change and there will be a lot more women doctors in Japan!
I don’t know if it’s just me, Reddit is really slow right and only the OP is loading so hopefully the comments here are worthwhile because they won’t load for me.

I don’t think that’s only in Japan.
I might be remembering wrong, but I vaguely recall reading posts about the US doing similar ‘filtering’ to meet diversity requirements.
The upside of this is that if you have a female doctor, you KNOW she is top notch!
???
Meanwhile, in France, we’re up to 60%+ women in med school.Tho, as I understand it, women are still discriminated against in higher medical positions. Because patriarchy still runs rampant.
Eventually the world will get better.
On the upside, women are now significantly better represented in that school
