hm, i wouldn't know

all I know is that in ancient china having a male lover made you cooler

"The political ideologies, philosophies, and religions of ancient China regarded homosexual relationships as a normal facet of life, and in some cases, promoted homosexual relationships as exemplary. Ming Dynasty literature, such as Bian Er Chai (弁而釵/弁而钗), portrays homosexual relationships between men as more enjoyable and more "harmonious" than heterosexual relationships.

As in Ancient Rome, homosexual relationships were prevalent in ancient China and were not regarded as morally deviant prior to the influence of foreign cultures. Writings from the Liu Song Dynasty claimed that homosexuality was as common as heterosexuality in the late 3rd century:

All the gentlemen and officials esteemed it. All men in the realm followed this fashion to the extent that husbands and wives were estranged. Resentful unmarried women became jealous."

The More You Know

A three-day dog-eating festival in China that has been practiced for the last 600 years has been banned after a wave of online outcry.

The annual festival held in Qianxi Township, Jinhua City in Zhejiang Province was cancelled after hundreds of thousands of netizens criticised it on social networking platform Weibo, news agency Xinhua reported.

A Weibo user named Junchangzai launched an online campaign to condemn the festival and his post was retweeted over 100,000 times. Photos showing encaged, skinned and butchered dogs from past festivals were posted online to garner awareness on the upcoming festival.

A survey administered by the local government reported that most local villages opposed the carnival. Junchangzai and other users also called on the government to intervene and ban the festival.

After the festival was banned, Junchangzai said, "The government's quick response should be encouraged. I hope eating dogs will not be a custom there anymore. It's not a carnival, but a massacre."

However, some villagers were unhappy with the ban. "It's our tradition, which the government has no right to ban," a villager told Xinhua.

The tradition dated back to 1389 commemorates the troops of Zhu Yuanzhang, who secretly silenced the dogs by killing them before seizing Qianxi. After the victory, soldiers feasted on the slaughtered dogs. The tradition of eating dogs is celebrated by an ancient fair that was replaced by a modern commodity fair.

Why is the woman in blue wearing both her bra and underwear underneath her bathing suit? Is that a thing people in China do, or just a thing that lady does?

That better change, it's not like China needs more people and there's millions of Chinese guys with not enough women for them.

Preference for male children is actually changing as Chinese parents realize that daughters are more likely to look after them in their old age than sons. The oft-mentioned gender disparity will likely start to close.


Also, the unwed male Chinese might have more to do with social and economic factors of late-stage capitalism than traditional mores, like our own beloved goons, redditors, and assorted spergs and washups.

What you're seeing in the first picture are 100% of the women in China.

Gay communities sprung up mostly because there are actually zero women for miles in many areas.

The imbalance between men and women population wise still exists because they still keep killing the babies.
