Xi Jinping faces a defining moment. He has turned a health crisis into a political one—and has no good fix https://t.co/e2L5Y6OV65

Days when we thought politics is boring

[Taisu Zhang @ZhangTaisu]

Don’t you miss the good old days when China was a boring country captured by soulless consumerism, crony capitalism, a stiff gerontocracy, and unimaginative pseudo-ideologies, and had no interesting politics to speak of?

We are running a blog series to make sense of these attacks and to critically analyse the uses and scope of anti-gender rhetoric from a transnational perspective. Check out our blog posts here https://t.co/PBx0JUcEAW and write for us! #4genderstudies

Gender studies are under attack and we stand in solidarity with our colleagues, friends and activists around the world who face fierce opposition because of their work, their thinking and their life #4genderstudies #gendermatters

Some of the core messages delivered to girls who attended the class went like this:
• Women should talk less and work more
• Career women don’t end well
• Women cannot divorce
• If a woman has sex with more than three men, she could die

Chinese College Course Aims to Teach Women 'Feminine Virtue' https://t.co/G07GLZwd1g via @jezebel

[Ann Cheng @Anbei17]

However absurd it is, these ‘virtues’ are widely accepted in China, especially in rural areas.
Luckily this class institution was shut down, but outdated values and patriarchy have always lingered. Let’s just hope next year would be more ‘feminist-friendly’ #womenempowerment

Today I was frightened by news that 'female virtues' were being taught in Fushun, China. One footage showed teenage girls forced to clean the floors on their knees and taught to self-blame for being raped. @FeministChina
