Hey, for all you women that want to lead a life of submission to men, only cooking and cleaning and having babies, I found the perfect place for you. They have lots of openings given the women there commit suicide to escape the conditions you dream about. That grass man.... why is it always greener wherever youre not *le shrug* Chinese communist revolution, for example, was to liberate women from the oppression of a strongly patriarchal society in which a woman owed lifelong obedience to a male relative—first her father, later her husband, and, after his death, her oldest son. Despite the current rapid changes taking place in China’s expanding urban areas, in many rural parts of the country a woman’s life is still largely determined by her relationship to a man—be it her father, husband, or son—rather than by her own efforts or failures. Moreover, many rural women face official local policies that identify their primary roles as wives and mothers. When they do work outside the house, it is generally at jobs with low pay, low status, and no benefits. Women’s no-wage home labor (and low-wage outside labor) for their husbands’ households have been essential to China’s economic expansion, which relies on the allocation of labor by the heads of patrilineal households. In part due to China’s one-child rule resulting in a shortage of marriage partners for men, rural women face the threat of being abducted for wives and workers. In 2000, after an outbreak of “bride-napping” during the previous decade, government authorities cracked down on the practice. Tens of thousands of women and girls were freed, but the practice. Facing obstacles that many rural Chinese women feel are insurmountable, more than 1 million of them attempt suicide each year—typically by swallowing pesticides or fertilizer. Of these, 150,000 die. Rural China is the only place on earth where more women kill themselves than men.
