appropriately-inappropriate: illalwaysbehere:sinobunny:irate-badfem-harpy: antidotefortheawkward-art: Thoughts on the gendering of Chinese pronouns I just don’t think it was the white people that convinced Chinese parents to cripple their daughters for a thousand yearsNow call me crazy but there could be another reason Cantonese only had one pronoun and I don’t think it had much to do with equality between the sexes Yeah parents would look between the legs of their newborn and see a vagina and say “into the dumpster *IT* goes!” So progressive …China existed as a civilization thousands of years before any White European nation emerged. China is one of the first human civilizations to ever exist, one of the Cradles of Civilization.OP, your thoughts are uninformed. You clearly have no understanding of history or gender or why Chinese pronouns were the way they were. This “White people created gender roles and forced them on people of color” is a blatant lie. You speak of your views on gender being affected by colonization, and you’re right, but not in the way you think.You’re Chinese? Then look at your own damn ancient history. How exactly did Europeans force you to create a gender binary when they were just warring tribes that hadn’t even left their homelands while China was a fully functioning civilization engaging in trade and war with surrounding nations?@antidotefortheawkward-art the Chinese have been separating males and females by sex long before us evil Whites ever set foot in Asia. It’s time to stop lying to yourself. Sorry, but you can’t blame White people for everything. Weird how they knew exactly which members of the population to castrate, and which to sell into the Emperor’s harem… Before they’d even invented paper. -- source link
