Some gems from the web
The pros and cons of marrying a Chinese woman: His wife is not “damaged,” but the author feels it is safe to assume that many Chinese women are at least as damaged as so many American girls.
If you like you that, you’ll love the guide to the advantages of having a Chinese wife (in China – the advantages evidently don’t travel) or the guide to understanding Chinese women. All of this insight on a site dedicated to foreign teachers in China – who knew?
This is the kind of army of homogeneous docile Chinese women the previously mentioned writers had in mind when typing up their helpful guides. Sometimes you’re the victim, sometimes you’re the source of the problem.
This is dated, but still absurd: Obesity Competition to Celebrate International Women’s Day.
Why should lingerie only be worn for a late-night rendezvous for only men to see? “Worn the right way, lingerie can be super feminine and fun. For example, a silk robe can be worn as a dress, and leather corsets are layered over shirts and even coats.” For ladies who are too shy to wear their bras and corsets on the outside, you can start off by wearing sheer tops. “This way you won’t feel completely naked but still get to show your underwear,” [Miumiu Zheng, senior fashion editor at Elle China magazine] suggested.
“I have to be careful not to push things too far,” [Ms. Mu Sochua] said in a recent interview on the campaign trail here in southern Cambodia. “I have to be very, very careful about what I bring from the West, to promote women’s rights within the context of a society that is led by men,” she said.
Chinese students chime in on co-ed dorms: “I also don’t think parents would let their daughters live with a male roommate at university. In terms of American culture and values, coed dorms may be not that strange, but Chinese in general are still not that open to this idea.” America wasn’t ready for A Return to Modesty, but I bet it would resonate with many Chinese readers.
[Chinese author Bi Feiyu] explains that he may have unconsciously chosen female characters because women, being sensitive, are best able to convey his overarching motif – pain.
Here a vain and misogynistic foreigner teaching at Peking University attempts to unveil the reality of students being propositioned by their professors, and vice versa.
And the more I read this account of foreign women getting happy endings after their weekly massages, the more I’m convinced it’s fabricated, but it’s a fantastic conversation/argument starter at the bar:
“I don’t see that there is much difference between what I do, and what most people do on a Saturday night, only this way there is no awkward morning after, no emotions involved.” She is aware of a double standard and claims to feel uncomfortable when she hears of male friends and colleagues visiting brothels. “It is very different. Most of those girls have no option and are usually trafficked. I know I’m being a bit of a hypocrite but for the [male masseurs], they obviously love what they do, as they are guys.”
