You don't know what you are talking about, Chinese women have more rights than men now. Chinese women have much more freedom than any women on this planet. Asians are not all the same. 90s is a distant memory , welcome to the 21st century.
Me too found it in real life.
Most my male friends after 30 married, but a lot of girls(?) after 30 still not.
What if the magical washing machine becomes real? I guess dark sink people will madly buy it. See, This is common view of human. People don't like dark skin no matter you are from Africa or anywhere. Why would we hide this real feeling. Political correctness?
Dark skin(if you were born with light skin) is closely linked to farming and low-skilled labor.
It's a general subconscious view in China, not really about races.
People like girls in Chongqing, largely because they have impeccable light skin, not that kind of unhealthy Caucasian style of colour. If you have the Caucasian style of white skin(become red in sunlight and have big holes and wrinkle since very young age and too much skin hair), people will think you unhealthy and maybe have some kind of diseases similar to albinism. Girls found in Chongqing have perfect skin, quite different from white girls. White girls' skin looks good from afar, but you get a closer look, Chinese will get completely shocked.
No China is an Asian country and western freedom of women concepts don't exist as such I guess.
Chinese men do face acute shortage of women to marry,thanks to one child policy.
So yes Chinese men are fiercely in competition with any foreign men who want to come and steal a Chinese fair maid.
Han Chinese girls are 100% against adding their husbands' family name even in the remotest village.
More and more children are named after their mothers' family name.
Many men do housework and cooking more than their wives, especially in cities like Shanghai and Chongqing where men have no status in family at all.
In my family, my dad cooks much much more than my mother and my mother is jobless with pensions and traveling around.
You can't just assume because you are from a muslim society in an Asian country.
Asia is far more diverse compared to Europe, Africa and America.
