CHINESE women are disfavoured at birth compared to boys (the country has one of the lowest female-to-male sex ratios at birth in the world) and stigmatised as “sexless” spinsters if they choose to earn a PhD.
Now, a viral video has surfaced on China’s Internet, of a class that teaches its students that “women should talk less, do more housework and shut their mouths”, according to an AFP report.
The teacher in the class in the northeastern province of Liaoning, also told students that “women should not strive to move upwards in society, but should always remain at the bottom level”.
Another instructor said:
“If you order food delivery instead of cooking by yourself, you are disobeying rules for women.”
The class has reportedly been immediately halted by the authorities following the backlash from angry netizens watching the video. The class had apparently been launched without approval by education authorities in Fushun, according to Xinhua news agency.
AFP reported that such bizarre “female morality” classes, which teaches traditional culture such as Confucian morals, martial arts and classic literature are sometimes offered at Chinese schools.
One user on Weibo, a platform like Twitter in China, wrote: “This is female slavery, not female morality.”
China isn’t doing remarkably well in closing the gender gap. A World Economic Forum study launched earlier this year found that the Asian superpower falls below the global average for gender parity.
This isn’t the first time a class as such has angered many. A class launched at Eleanor Hall School in rural Canada February this year titled “Women Studies” – teaching dinner party etiquette, polite conversation, and nail care – came under fire for its stereotyping of women as ornamental objects.
The lesson plan includes recipe planning, table settings, nail care application and how to choose the most flattering hairstyles and clothing in a bid to teach girls to be “confident, strong and independent”, in this age of social media where “girls are being frequently compared to others and exposed to messages about how they aren’t good enough unless they dress and behave a certain way”, according to Michelle Savoie, a teacher at the school.
The University of Alberta‘s Professor Christina Stasia said the course promoted sexist, outdated stereotypes, as reported by Reuters.
“It doesn’t really equip girls with anything to navigate the barriers they will be encountering as they grow up.”
LOL!
When women are comparatively scarce, they are particularly valued for sex slavery. Chinese city women --- I've read--- get abducted and smuggled into rural areas where women are particularly scarce, and might be bought by, say, two brothers who will share her as bedmate, housekeeper and cook.
Don't know how prevalent that is, but the article said the local officials know and don't say anything.
Sounds like a plan.

Europe’s middle class is not breeding at replacement level. Neither is Russia’s or the US. I don’t think China has that problem.
I have actually heard from her great aunt that she remembers Chinese ancestors that were kept-down by the Ming. And we all know those Chinese built a wall just like that damn Trump wants to build.
You make an off a lot of assumptions and generalities. But I suppose it makes you feel better
Happy days, happy days. Remember them well.
What you describe is what will happen to a great number of liberal women and female social just warriors. Propagandized and conditioned to hate men they’ll end up living alone in a tiny house with fifty cats.
Hmmmm. I wonder.
>You make an off a lot of assumptions and generalities.
I do? Which facts don’t you like, that women marry up or that high ranking men want young hot things rather than older cat women with PHDs?
>But I suppose it makes you feel better
Not really. So many women are wasting their lives getting educations that ultimately makes them unhappy.
“They say that is if that’s a bad thing.”
I know, right? I’m going to bed now, goodnight all.
Actually it’s rather difficult to “burn” dinner. A stereotype for sure.
But there was a man who had his priorities straight, LOL!
That is true. So long as cold beer is in the refrigerator, all is forgiven.
When I am reminded of men’s barely-concealed wish that we would indeed be quiet, submissive servants who provide sex, I’m pretty happy to be single and have a couple cats.
They say that is if that’s a bad thing.
???
How is that so different from, ‘eyes open. mouth shut and never volunteer’?
Don't knock it until you try it.
What is a cat woman? Some sort of cartoon character? There’s no point in continuing this, you are so bitter you can’t see straight. You’re acting just like a liberal, saying that your emotions are facts.
