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The University of Alberta‘s Professor Christina Stasia said the course promoted sexist, outdated stereotypes, as reported by Reuters.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.”
>What is a cat woman?
You’ve never met a bitter middle age woman with lots of cats and no kids? I know servral.
>There’s no point in continuing this, you are so bitter you can’t see straight.
I’m so blinded by science!

>Studies of heterosexual mate selection in dozens of countries around the world have found men and women report prioritizing different traits when it comes to choosing a mate, with men tending to prefer women who are young and attractive and women tending to prefer men who are rich, well-educated, ambitious, and attractive.[7] Evolutionary psychologists contend this is an inherent sex difference arising out of sexual selection, with men driven to seek women who will give birth to healthy babies and women driven to seek men who will be able to provide the necessary resources for the family’s survival. Social learning theorists, however, say women value men with high earning capacity because women’s own ability to earn is constrained by their disadvantaged status in a male-dominated society. They argue that as societies shift towards becoming more gender-equal, women’s mate selection preferences will shift as well. Some research support that theory,[8] including a 2012 analysis of a survey of 8,953 people in 37 countries, which found that the more gender-equal a country, the likelier male and female respondents were to report seeking the same qualities as each other rather than different ones.[9]
And here’s exactly the point I was making:
>However, Townsend (1989) surveyed medical students regarding their perception of how the availability of marriage partners changed as their educational careers advanced. Eighty-five percent of the women indicated that “As my status increases, my pool of acceptable partners decreases”. In contrast, 90 percent of men felt that “As my status increases, my pool of acceptable partners increases”.[10]:246
Women who over educate run out of potential mates while males who advance gain potential mates but prefer younger hotter women over well-educated women. Hence women with PHDs and lots of cats.
>You’re acting just like a liberal, saying that your emotions are facts.
Talk about projection.
You’re an SJW are you? Did you read my post or are you just mouthing off? I said liberals. Are you a liberal?
Don’t generalize. I said liberals. Are you a conservative or a liberal?
Chinese Males are attending the “Bitch set me up” Classes.
This is not surprising coming from a country that murders most of their females.
Florida permits a 50-50 split. It was good advice in 1995, then run far away...
Dude, that’s so complicated...
All I wanted was a hot babe with a passionate heart.
I didn’t read your post and I didn’t respond to your post. Why are you attacking me out of the blue! Time to go back on your meds.
LOL!! Okay, look at those two sentences side by side...
Seriously, if you prefer cleaning out a cat’s litter box to picking up your man’s clothes, I can’t help you.
Men are such a gift, along with being just delightful. They are comparatively easy to figure out and easy to please. They only need about three things from you to be happy.
Give a hard-working man a few hours a week to unwind with a movie or football game while you wash the dishes. What’s the problem with that?
I have nothing against cats, but I’d never pick a cat over a man.
I don't remember asking for help. But yeah, it only takes about 30 seconds each morning, whereas both of my husbands (yes, I've had two) required hours of upkeep. Laundry, dishes, shopping, tidying... men come home and leave a trail from the door to the bedroom to the shower to the kitchen... I'm not trying to talk you into my lifestyle. You do what you like. I'm doing what I like. And I am just saying that some of us have been wives and we've been cat ladies, and on the whole, cat lady is my preference.
Maybe it’s just me, but cleaning up cat feces is not a life choice I’d make over cleaning up behind a man.
I’d pick the man before the cat every single time.
My apologies. .A simple mistake.
No problem, have a great day! Sorry for the meds comment
