I wasn't born in China, however my parents were. While I share some of their pride in the family name... I admit when it comes to children, daughter or son, I'll make sure that they don't throw like a girl. smile

For non readers-

Basically, because you can only have one child. The female population is declining, due to 'abortions'.

(My mom told me it's common to find fetuses on the street)

Families in China are concerned with losing the Family Name you see,

I know i would ;D but i can have as many kids as I damn well please.

Furthermore. It'l be mega hard for CH to <3 and be <3'd In the year 2020 or so if i were to ever return to China. (Likly)


So please, FFS plan to marry and have some kids. And the faster you do it, the less Lolita we'll have.








''China's gender ratio is unbalanced as a result. The trouble is that the men which the custom of selectivity sought to "produce" will have to pay for their privilege by suffering a shortage of brides. And in future that means fewer kids.

Indeed, by 2020, the surplus of Chinese males in their 20s will exceed the entire female population of Taiwan. The gender imbalance will get worse before it gets better; selective abortion is set to increase, not just for second and third births, but also for first births. This will cause social strains. Many young men will have to accept bachelorhood, a condition which often drives men to crime, even suicide and depression. Women on the other hand, will be scarcer, though whether that will lead to an improvement in their current low and often abused status is questionable.

To ensure that it does, anti-discrimination laws and rules on equality and female rights will have to be strengthened. The Chinese authorities could also abandon their policy of one child per family and allow family size to grow. However, without family planning and a proper revolution in recognising the rights of women, that may simply lead back to rapid population growth again.''

WHY DO YOU AND EVERYONE IN CHINA CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE FAMILY NAME?!
to answer the poll question, i want kids (a girl if i had to choose), but i doubt i'll have any cuz i won't find a man i like. maybe i'll adopt. and i care about the world, but whether or not having kids benefits the world is debatable. having no kids benefits it by not increasing our already high population. i'm sorry if this offends people, but china and other sexist countries like it need to get bombed. women deserve to be treated better than they do, and if china can't appreciate women cuz of the stupid family name issue, then they deserve to die out.

Asking why we care about the family name is like asking 'why do you marry the opposite sex?', its a social thing. Nobody knows why people do it, or care about it, it just is.

And every sexist country should be bombed and die out? Well you can say bye bye to everyone on earth because, every country in this world is sexist. And you know its kind of our fault that men treat women the way they do, because we mothers teach our sons this, and allow them to go on like this.

You got to have at least a kid in your life, if not, that's a little sad...
