BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese policewoman who breastfed babies orphaned during last month's earthquake has been given a better job, prompting online protests that promotions should be awarded on merit, not merely for good deeds.
Jiang Xiaojuan, 30, left her own baby with her parents and took part in the disaster relief work, breastfeeding nine babies, earning her the nickname of "the police mum" in the press.

7. Well, usually, for men to poke anything at those things, the woman ought to approve first...

Still, everyone says bad boys are more desirable...

5. I bet she was an awesome cop before the quake

What she did was extraordinary, her selflessness probably accelerated the timing of any promotion due to her.
