China: Where Feminism is Illegal

[Mister D]

True. They are thinking of the collective welfare of China. They are fearful of radical social changes and potential political instability. That doesn't make it right, but it is the reality of the situation.

You are correct. "Feminism" and "gay rights" are two among many ideological alibis for aggression

[Mister D]

I just wanted to add that Mao is responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of human beings (almost all Chinese). We should not be singing his praises any more than Hitler's.

Chinese value the group over the individual. I do not endorse this concept.

Group / Collective rights versus individual rights. I endorse the American concept of individual rights.

Feminism is a Western phenomenon.

Part of the liberal project.

Well, it looks like Sina Weibo (China's equivalent of Twitter) and private messaging app WeChat have both permanently blocked the accounts of Feminist Voices, the most prominent women's advocacy network in the country.

The consequence of incessant nagging, no doubt.
