Florida's Valencia College sued over forced vaginal exams

[Brubear]

Oh give me a break. Its not sexist that the men in the class cannot undergo an exam for a reproductive organ that they do not have.

As for the topic, I agree that we are not getting the full story here. It seems completely unthinkable that they would say its voluntary and then blackmail the students. It also seems ludicrous to think even for a moment that out of all the students before them, not one stood up after the fact or during the matter to claim foul.

Are male doctors studying to be proctologists forced to under go prostate examinations? I can't find any evidence that they are. As for finding it so unthinkable that a teacher would pull a bait-and-switch like that (because no one has ever had a teacher or business try that before) is rather odd since it's fairly common (maybe not at the academic level but it wouldn't be the first time a teacher has said something was optional at the beginning of a semester to later imply that while it was optional your grade will suffer if you don't do it).

The part that really gets me is how many are skeptical that it would have taken this long for someone to finally call them out on it is confusing. How many examples have we had of shady practices at a campus, university, charity or business finally being revealed after quite a few years because someone finally exposed the practice? How is it so far fetched to think that the same thing could have happened here?

There's just one article talking about the staggering amount of sexual abuse that occurs in our nations school systems. Hell, how long did it take for the Catholic church to finally be called out on it's handling of priests sexually abusing kids? Why is it so hard to believe that at a school a students have been for years told that having an invasive procedure performed on them is optionally only to later be told it was mandatory or their grades would suffer would take this long to come to light?

This whole thing sounds like the plot to a bad porno movie.

?

If people haven't seen it, a lot of them don't believe it, unless it conforms to their pre-existing prejudices.

How the hell is this not considered rape?

Because it doesn't fit the definition?

It would be assumed that the students weren't forced.
