I was just reading in Time that Japanese medical schools have admitted ‘doctoring’ entrance exams to stop women getting inAngry
Apparently they were concerned they’d want to have babies and their training would be wasted.

Urgh, that is a very dark story indeed.
Looking at the reporting from USA Today, they say they've been doing this for at least 12 years?!

An internal investigation found that Tokyo Medical University started manipulating the results in 2006 - or possibly earlier - because its leaders thought female students would leave their careers when they became mothers.

The investigation found that last year, the school reduced all applicants’ first-stage test scores by 20 percent, then added up to 20 points for male applicants. It said similar manipulations had been taking place for years.
