Mother's tale shows times have changed

A YOUNG MOTHER stirred heated debate recently when she posted her experience of being barred by a female doorkeeper from taking her 3-year-old son into the women's changing room in a public swimming pool in Beijing. Gmw.cn comments:

The woman felt she has been treated unfairly, and she posted what had happened on social media expecting sympathy. Instead, she was heavily criticized.

The woman was probably brought up in a traditional cultural environment in which preschool children are largely deemed to be "gender neutral".
