China's leftover women-intelligent and charming

Boilermaker21 (US)

If I hear one more person refer to another female as a "leftover woman" I might slap them. "Leftover Women" is such a derogatory term and it is just another way for men in power to try to make women feel inferior. The truth is, many men are terrified that they will have to compete with these women for jobs and professional prestige. The government also prefers women to stay at home and procreate because they know that China is at a tipping point of gender imbalance. Instead of supporting the choices of women, they justify shaming women into marriage as a means to their end. A woman should be able to choose whether or not she wants to marry and have children without anyone intervening.
