Why Chinese Women are Grabbing Their Boobs in the Name of Fitness

The Chinese net has their own equivalent of the “thigh gap” test called the “behind the back breast grab” challenge.

The Chinese net has their own equivalent of the “thigh gap” test called the “behind the back breast grab” challenge.
The “test” is a new fad that is supposed to indicate a young woman’s level of fitness based on whether she is able to reach her arm behind her back and grab her breast.
According to Shanghaiist, the challenge seems to have evolved from Weibo’s “belly button challenge” that appeared back in June.
The belly button challenge mainly involved young women showing off their flat stomachs in pictures online.
The women are considered fit if they can reach their arm behind their backs to touch their belly buttons from the other side.
The hashtag for the behind the back breast grab challenge has garnered 50 million views and 38,000 comments on Weibo since it began.

If this happened on campus, Stanford should issue a clear public update and specific safety actions.

Agree. People need facts and process, not silence. The school should confirm what is being investigated.

Also important to separate verified details from rumors so this does not spiral online.

The death threat part is extremely serious. Hoping law enforcement and campus security are already involved.

This is where official reporting and support channels need to be visible and easy to access.
