Sexism continues in force

The strangest thing about sexism in China is that most people fail to grasp a deep understanding of what it actually is. They might recognize the concept - perhaps mistaking it for women's rights - but they don't see it in their daily lives.

Sexism, like many forms of prejudice, only survives in a traditional environments and this is how it continues in China.

True, there are more women rising to power everyday in China as reported by the press, such as CRI noting that "Half of the world's 10 wealthiest self-made females are from the Chinese mainland," but pursuing business is not the only career path in China.
