The purpose of this post is to compare how is gender in China, and connected with that how Chinese women feel that they are inferior than mens.

Chinese women are discriminated against in society and grow in an environment where the listener negative comments about their role in society, its capacity, its value … This creates it as a way of thinking that makes you feel incompetent, submissive and without values.

Chinese women are also subjected to domestic, physical, mental and sexual violence by men.

“In China from very early times, men have been seen as the core of the family”1

Although there are laws that determine gender equality, in practice women’s rights are not equal to those of men and despised them  in areas such as education, employment, promotion and legacy today.

In China women have been considered less capable than men, this is why they have committed murder and abandonment of girls also should be noted that the Chinese female population has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

“(…)it became common for writers to discuss gender in terms of yin and yang. Women were yin, men were yang”1

Since the measure is adopted that it is compulsory one child, the government always encouraged men holding since then China needed many more men than women who undertake rural work hard.
The largest gender difference occurs in the field, while in big cities tend to be reduced.

In rural areas continue arranging marriages between families and the subjugation of women to his father persists, first as her husband and mother, later. The woman leaves her family to move to the husband, which brings his work, children and elderly care. This poor literacy, lack of opportunities and low self-esteem adds.

“Despite the fact that the socialist system and the laws of the PRC consider women
to be the equal of men, there remain a number of gender-based inequalities in the PRC”  2

“(…) Womens are capturing an increasing proportion of jobs in the non-state manufacturing sector, particularly in
town and village enterprises (TVEs) and in the Special Economic Zones. These jobs pay higher
wages than either domestic or agricultural work and give women, especially young single
women, the opportunity to gain skills and a greater degree of economic independence” 2

Also in China traditional marriage was a contract between families rather than between two individuals that are in love each other.

The Asian giant, which hosts 20% of the world population (1,260 million), records a quarter of all suicides in the world and is one of the few countries where the rate is higher in women than in men. In Eastern culture, suicide is considered a form of expression in itself, a “silent protest”.
Some of the problems that lead to suicide are the tides of migration to the city, one-child policy, closure of hundreds of state-owned enterprises, unemployment benefits to social and work life, greater liberalization part of the economic sectors and growing consumer culture and money.

Finally, related to this theme is important to talk about a important think that happened some months ago in China. “A Chinese man sued his wife for being ugly and not letting him know. Well, actually, she was apparently facially-untogether so she spent over $100,000 getting plastic surgery. She met a dude named Jian Feng, they got married and all was well. Until she had their daughter.”
