early in the CCP's life gender equality was a thing (男女半天) but nowadays older cultural norms have come back

This is taking a foot fetish to another level. But yeah china with the one child policy and a lot of families preference for male heirs caused a lot of girls born to be abandoned or to simply not exist in any record

Mozi posted:early in the CCP's life gender equality was a thing (男女半天) but nowadays older cultural norms have come back Yeah, modern China is regressing on its treatment of women. Still, one of the very few good things the party did was enforce gender equality, and even with the regression it's still quite notable compared to its neighbors. I was floored at how much women are allowed to participate in society in China compared to South Korea when I first moved there. Compared to the west I wouldn't say China is better, but compared to its East Asian neighbors it definitely is. No contest.

Like most things regarding China, it's relatively easy to make progress when you're starting from glorified feudalism.

"women hold up half the sky" has to me always been a great phrase that encapsulates what equality should look like. I mean now it feels exclusionary for nonbinary people but for the time it was a good sentiment

Turns out that a whole lot of the Canadian commentariat that has been pro-Huawei are considered intelligence assets by the CCP and are probably getting kickbacks https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-inside-huaweis-campaign-to-influence-canadian-public-opinion/ This was of course obvious to anyone who knows anything about the PRC or Huawei but now that there's actual proof there will likely be more consequences Fojar38 fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Sep 16, 2020 |

I was floored at how much women are allowed to participate in society in China compared to South Korea when I first moved there. Yeah but Korea is like a special kind of hell for treatment of women. Like Victorian era men visiting the country were aghast, "Holy gently caress you can't treat women like this it is barbaric" and so on. I'll always remember the special knife women were supposed to carry to kill themselves if they were about to be raped. Not to actually defend against it, but to make sure their pure body was spoiled before death.

It becomes unethical the moment the company gives you money either directly or indirectly (paying for your flights, lavish hotels, etc.), and you subsequently write about said company while pretending to be impartial. Modern journalistic and academic ethics forbid any such behaviour although I'm sure it happens everywhere
