Introduction 🎤

 

Hey, History Buffs! Ready to dive into some fascinating history on gender inequality in Communist China? This is not just an ancient story; it's very much alive today and affects societies globally. So sit tight and let's time-travel through some critical aspects.

Core Themes 🗂️

  • Ingrained Prejudice Against Women
  • Unchanging Peasant Attitudes
  • Communist Party’s (CCP) Ambivalence

Ingrained Prejudice Against Women

Summary 💁‍♀️

Even after the Communist regime claimed that men and women were equal, traditional Chinese society still viewed women as inferior. The common aspiration was to have male children due to a mix of pride and economic benefits.

 

Real-World Example 🌍

Ever heard of China's One-Child Policy? This policy magnified the issue because families preferred sons for economic reasons, leading to a massive gender imbalance!

 

Key Takeaways 🎯

  • Social Values: Super hard to change overnight
  • Patriarchy: As old as your granddad's beard
  • Economics & Pride: Boys = Future income, Girls = Draining resources
