Boyung Lee says in “Teaching
justice and living peace: body, sexuality, and religious education in
Asian-American communities” that sexuality is a sensitive topic because of the
Confucian philosophies. He described Asian's attitude towards sexuality as “shame”.
As a Chinese girl, I agree that discrimination on women sexuality is pervasive
in China, even in 21st century. For example, in China, wives are
supposed to be supportive to their husbands by doing all the chores at home.
When it comes into disagreement, wives usually obey to their husbands. Also, in
traditional Chinese culture, people always treat woman as inferior to men. I
even heard some parents abandoned their kids after they found the kids are
girls. I totally disagree with this view because I think woman are equal to
man. In addition, many occupations such
as pilots, employers usually prefer males over females even though they have
the same skill set. Since women and men are both human, women are the same as
everyone else. I believe more people will realize this equality in the future.
