As I wrote in the title.
A) Do you consider yourself a feminist? Please explain why.
B) What is the state of the feminist movement in your own country?
===
My answer is YES, I consider myself a feminist. Because I think that woman and man should have equal opportunities for schooling, work, and also in social, economic and religious.
The state of feminism in China is actually pretty poor. For instance the government forced abortions on women that had more than one child, that is one big issue I think the whole world knows. Also you probably know that female child is aborted more than boys.
Here the feminism is only tied to labor ideas. Mainly the idea is women should work so that the government can collect more tax. So they are only true concern is the economic and profiability issue to have women to go work, not actual gender concern.
More or less conscious male chauvinism is the big obstacle as well in Chinese culture.
In fact in other ways CCP (China Communist Party) is a bit suspicious of any true feminism because they know woman's power to create CHANGE and new ideas into the public thought. So sometimes they will try to crush feminist movements.
