You Chinese If You Sexist


You Chinese if you sexist.

Yes... all real Chinese are sexist, and it's all Confucius' fault. Yes, revered as he is, he was a sexist bastard. Or maybe, he just had his disciples write down the sexism that was already prevalent in society?

Did you read the last post? Well, why is it that the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law would argue? WHY?! The reason is because a woman in a Chinese household is basically a slave. There's a Chinese saying that says when a female is young, she's controlled by her father; when she's older, she's controlled by her husband; and when she's really old, she's controlled by her son. YUP.

As you can see, mother-in-law expects daughter-in-law to take over all the duties she previously had (cleaning, cooking, washing, etc.); just as her own mother-in-law had done. And inevitably, the daughter-in-law resists. But, resistance is futile.

Sure, this is sexism against your own sex, but if you Chinese, you don't care. You carry it out, regardless. In fact, you carry it out more harshly if you're a woman; you prefer sons to daughters, you bully your daughter-in-laws, you treat your son's children better than your daughter's children, etc.

Polygamy is also not really illegal in Chinese culture. There are plenty of the really older generation who currently have more than one legal wife. And if it's not legal, you can bet that Chinese men who can afford it have a legal wife and several girlfriends on the side. Why else would they leave their family in one country, and "work" in another?

And see this picture? That's anguish on the wife's face, not pleasure. How can one feel pleasure when being poked from behind by a breadstick?
