that specific area. In some other countries are more noticeable. For example, China a country that is
known for its interesting politics and the "great" role that men play. During a news conference a
delegate stated that their male leader are too "superb." With that female themselves in China have a
low standard view on them, and maybe that just due to the fact that their society has been build that
way. Many Chinese feminist and journalist have pointed out that there has never been a female ruling
in the Communist Party's Poltiburo Standing Committee and that there is only one female in the
communist party.
Zhang Hui, mayor of Weihai states: “In any country there is a pyramid, with many people at the
bottom and the numbers contracting as you rise. For men the pyramid is fatter in the
middle, but for women, perhaps the higher you rise, the harder it is to rise,” she said, using her hands to show two shapes — a generous, inverted “U” for men, and a tighter, inverted “T” for women. “That’s the case in every country, not just in China.”
The fact is that in china it is hard for women to gain recognition in various things but especially in government related. The women in China are working hard so this changes and have more females be in politics and held positions.

It's sad to actually read the article for this. Many of the woman in Chinese politics honestly believe they don't stand a chance against there male counterparts. I think it is the education that they received that has made such an impact on them. I also feel that in order for them to get higher positions, they will have to learn to leave behind this stereotype that they developed towards the male politicians.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this chapter, we can only grab a glimpse as to what these Chinese women go through. The sad part, things have not changed for them within last couple decades. Women are looked down and frowned upon, while the men are looked at the most superior. The article is devastating because women do want to be noticed more, not just in everyday life but also in politics. They truly need to be looked up to as women in authority. We are women, and together whether we be Chinese or American it starts with our voice.
