Just a little "two finger" prodding of the hymen...nothing to see here. Moderate, moderate, moderate.
"Human Rights Watch said in a report that such tests were a longstanding
practice in Indonesia, where patriarchal attitudes and practices in the
security forces are common."
"The report was based on interviews with female police officers and
police applicants in six Indonesian cities who had undergone the so
called "two-finger" test to determine whether their hymens are intact."
POKE POKE POKE.
So moderate! Moderate fingers! I wonder how one becomes a certified Hymenologist in Indonesia, what kind of credentials one must have?
The Indonesians, for their part, remain defiant, insisting this is quite a normal, ordinary requirement of a job in law enforcement.
"The requirement is even posted on the jobs website for Indonesia's national police. On Tuesday it read, "In addition to the medical and physical tests, women who want to be policewomen must also undergo virginity tests. So all women who want to become policewomen should keep their virginity."
Well, duh!
However, one of the occupational hazzards of hymen poking is that, yes-you might...well-here is the money quote. By the way, it doesn't actually say if the testers are male or female. And these "tests" are notoriously inaccurate. Imagine that.
"In a video interview recorded by the group, a 24-year-old Indonesian
woman said she was among 20 applicants who underwent the test."
"I feared that after they performed the test I would not be a virgin
anymore," she told the group in a silhouetted video interview.
"They
inserted two fingers with gels ... it really hurt."
