Girls taught prejudice in 'feudal' class

Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, has put a stop to a training course dedicated to so-called feminine virtues, after online videos aroused widespread condemnation of the presented ideas as being damaging to girls.

The videos showed girls ages 5 to 18 in Wencheng county taking classes on "feminine virtues" during a summer camp in August. The classes taught "women are inferior to men in social status", "domestic violence should be accepted" and "divorce is a nightmare for women".

The videos stirred heated discussions on gender equality and elicited condemnation for their outdated concept, prompting local authorities to launch an investigation.
