They are heading down a very slippery slope from which they will never recover.

It looks like the commies in China are now embracing their Stalinist Sisters in the gender feminist government. Imagine a one world government run by gender feminists.

There will be heterosexual male gulags (re-education camps) on every block.

What is yet to be determined, and was expanded on in the article, is exactly what constitutes sexual harassment.

When SH laws first appeared in the U.S., it was supposed to deal with those obnoxious quid pro quo situations where someone had to sleep with the boss to keep a job, or where being copped for a feel was part of the job description. We can all agree that that was wrong.

But then feminists just look for a toehold, and it doesn't matter if the crack is a just or an unjust law. Like the president of NYC N.O.W. said back in '68 "Equality is what we say it is!" They took an good law and perverted it to the point where a woman can claim SH if you look at her crosseyed and her accusation is enough to get you fired.

If China adapts the latter version of the law, it will point out one of the most insidious traits of feminism: even a country with little or no organized feminism will have to bow to pussy-whipped Western values if it wants to trade with the West. Thus feminism spreads its toxin by proxy.

                    Are there any references on the web to this statement? I haven't heard it before.

The quote is from a NY Daily News column on Women's Libber prying their way into male preserves. Toward the end of the article, a reporter asked the pres. of NYC N.O.W. whether or not, in the interest of equality, men could now be expected to be admitted into female places. Her answer was the above quote.

Yep. As far back as 1968.

Thanks Hunchback. It confirms that equality was never a feminist objective. The principle of feminist equality is that gender can't be used as a pretext to discriminate against women, but it will be used as justification for discrimination in favour of women.

From the Star (Malasyain newspaper) China outlaws sexual harassment
…Xin Chunying, deputy director of the standing committee's legal work commission, told a news conference. She gave no details on what would be considered sexual harassment, however, saying it was hard to define clearly, and could not say what punishment there would be
Well it means nothing or more likely it means whatever they want.

Well if recent Chinese history provides any clues, the new sexual harassment laws will employ the same vague doublespeak language that qualifies every Chinese citizen as being a potential "counter-revolutionary."

All it takes is accessing a politically incorrect web site (like this one), and you can be locked up or exiled to a nice reeducation labor camp in the wilds of Mongolia.

I'm surprised it's taken the neo-Maoists so long to discover their kindred sisters in fascism and the potential affinity for repression.
