Feminism has gained popularity among women，young and old，across the world. They champion the idea to fight for their rights. The term is so popular because of inequality between men and women. Working as hard as the opposite sex骗绕，the latter wind up getting paid less and having limited access to management positions. They also don’t have the freedom to voice their own thoughts. Therefore, feminist movements are there to make sure the wellbeing of women is secured，creating an enabling environment for them. This is a good thing遍愿，indeed.
The same tide is sweeping across China. Yet奔滑，everything in China has been endowed with Chinese characteristics. This means things might go a little bit sour for women here. In modern China，if a young man wants to find a partner谜喊，a decent apartment is compulsory or he might end up living alone for good. Apart from a place to live潭兽，a smart car can, without doubt, help the potential mate charm the pants off girls. Women, feminist or not, set a high bar for men. The expenditure lies on men’s shoulders，weighing them down in some cases. It’s a daunting challenge for a young man working in a big city such as Shanghai or Beijing to buy a house or flat where prices are as high as $8000 per square meter on average. Though the price is lower in small cities and counties, the wages there are much lower, too. This means buying a house is out of a pursuer’s league. Eventually, the burden may fall on their parents rather than themselves. As peacocks strut, birds sing and gorillas fight斗遏，the mate seeker has to use extravagant gifts to persuade the female he is a good bet. Though we are in a civilized world, the law of jungle rules.
Feminists ask for equality山卦，freedom and safety. At the same time, however, they are demanding more such as cars, apartments or houses and attractiveness. Men shackled by their lust have no choice but to meet women’s demands. It appears that in China men are the disadvantaged group.
Maybe there are some explanations for this phenomenon. First，the Chinese have a long history of men being the breadwinners while women taking responsibilities of domestic chores and caring for children. Two thousand years later诵次，it remains unchanged. Second账蓉，thanks to the one-child policy and an abnormal craving for boys，China’s skewed sex rations plague many young fellows, with 105 boys being born for every 100 girls. The imbalance between girls and boys makes single ladies more attractive and desirable. It turns out that a married life will cost men more than it did hundreds of decades ago.
What can Chinese men do about it? A new campaign, Malenism, will not work for sure. Since the government has abolished the one-child policy and the awareness of equality between sexes has been increasing, an upturn, in the long run, is expected to take place. However, what about those bachelors who eager to have a family at present? Well, rights entail responsibilities. Greater equality for women might be a game changer in a way that women will help their men out by sharing the responsibilities. Even in China, they will too.
