Talk:Patriarchy in China

Untitled
"'As this article has proved, women’s willingness to regulate their own body in order to gain power and to survive the patriarchal society has been pass down from the very beginning to the modern Chinese society. While women’s low social status is not a right thing, their willingness is not their fault. The main cause of this willingness is the patriarchy in Chinese society which is a social problem exists for a long time. Even though China has thousands years of history, the New China only have a less than seventy years of history. As more and more people become civilized and get in touch with the outside world, inequality between genders has been reduced a lot. Given the fact that Chinese people are still deeply affected by traditions, there is still a long way ahead before Chinese society can truly reach gender equality and women do not need to sacrifice their body.'"

Whats going on here? Honestly, someone should rewrite this whole article or it should be deleted. A lot of things have no source and it sounds more like an opinion piece than anyting of value.

 * Hello I plan on going through and working on the lack of proper citing by first reviewing the references listed and properly noting there accuracy. I also agree upon the note of it lacking proper tone and neutrality, and has an extreme deficit in relevant information, as well as examples. Hopefully this helps give the page a better standing in educational aide into the topics of Chinese Patriarchy. NatalieCampbell (talk) 19:49, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete this or rewrite it !!!!!
As somebody mentioned this here before it's an opinion piece not an article. It's probably written by a feminist with blue-dyed armpit hair.

 * ""probably written by a feminist with blue-dyed armpit hair."" While I agree the article's got a style that suggests opinion, I believe the writer's coming to the topic in good faith and trying to persuade readers skeptical of the existence of patriarchy in China by using facts. I can't say the same about this comment. I'll edit the article, unless you object. Idlediletante (talk) 22:30, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I think that you guys are being pretty harsh, I think all it needs is some rewriting and reorganizing in a neutral tone. Maybe an added section of gender stereotypes in china, as these wiki articles are supposed to be for educational purposes. Cocomiller (talk) 07:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)


 * As mentioned this comment is purely just a crude statement at an article that needs some TLC. If it was previously mentioned that a more neutral tone is needed as well as other revisions why make a comment that holds no other information of importance other then a slanted comment. I think it is also of value to mention that adding gender stereotypes would be a great addition as well as maybe more examples dating back further then just the 20th century.

Possible Edits
Hello I and a group of students plan on making some major edits to this article to give it some much needed revision and additions to help it have a better educational relevancy. In doing so I thought it may be useful for anyone who may stumble across the article during our editing phases to have an opinion or suggestion for possible edits thread, as well as a spot for myself or others to label changes that we plan to make:

As of right now these are the major edits that should be made in our eyes
 * Revision of biased opinionated tones to a neutral tone
 * Proper citing of information and quotation to references
 * Addition of missing information;
 * Gender Stereotypes
 * Modern/Old-Fashioned Women of China
 * Examples dating back further then just the 20th century
 * The addition of an introduction and definition of patriarchy (specifically its impact in chinese culture)
 * Removing any unnecessary information and adjusting the flow of certain subcategories of the article to read easier.

Please feel free to add to this list any other edits that should be made or suggestions for improvement. NatalieCampbell (talk) 20:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Removed portion with quote of athens as it does not seem relevant to chinese patriarchy as well as had no citation paired with it. Here is the section in case someone disagrees and thinks it should be added back; "Another one of these famous quotes is also related to the patriarchy found in Athens. "Men are free to roam outside, but women must stay inside." [citation needed]" This is my signature NatalieCampbell (talk) 06:42, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Suggest move to Patriarchy in China (Implemented)
I suggest moving this article to Patriarchy in China, since that's the title that a reader would expect based on the titles of other articles which follow the format '[topic] in [country]' like Gender inequality in China. It's also arguably more neutral phrasing since it clearly delineates topic and country, rather than mushing them together into an inseparable compound. – Scyrme (talk) 23:43, 8 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Since no objections were raised in over a week, I went ahead and moved the article. – Scyrme (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
