Thank you @muyixiao and Xianzi for speaking up, a great example of how when one woman speaks up, she inspires another. It's tough within Chinese communities or in China or majority Chinese countries. The patriarchal idea of "lose face", bring shame to the family", "airing dirty laundry" still silences so many. This is a case to support and watch. China has a massive firewall and has retracted a large amount of western press passes this year. This women risk massive social ostracism, family rejection and their public support is often clamped down quickly, with their stories deleted within hours from Chinese social media. Good news is that it trended before that happened. They’re not on Instagram because it’s banned. Their laws are unequal, it was only due to #woyeshi, China’s #metoomovement that happened underground away from Western view that in recent years the word sexual harassment was legislated in China. The police regularly deters women from reporting and when Xianzi did, there was nothing she could report it accurately as. Chinese women have made great strides, at great expense to their personal safety. #feministfive was captured, tortured and jailed just for public protest. Stand up for ALL women or your feminism is rubbish. Source @blackilocks #phenomenallyasian #16Days https://www.instagram.com/p/CIM6HkOLvys/?igshid=3qm79jpzy0zo
