Wenzhou’s “Feminine Virtues” Class Shuts Down After Troubling Video Sizzle
In a nutshell, the city of Wenzhou in eastern China’s Zhejiang province just pulled the plug on a couragely‑named, yet wildly misnamed, summer camp that tried to turn twelve‑year‑olds into miniature feminists. The event, billed as a “training course dedicated to feminine virtues,” revealed more like a séance of archaic misogyny, prompting a swift backlash from netizens and activists alike.
What Went Down
The controversy erupted when a handful of videos surfaced on social media, showing little girls (5‑to‑18 years old) and their parents marching into the camp, clutching notebooks and smiling at captions that read:
- “Women are inferior to men in social status.”
- “Domestic violence should be allowed.”
- “Divorce is a nightmare for women.”
These statements, as you can guess, are no longer socially acceptable, let alone good classroom material.
Who Was Behind the Camp
Investigators discovered that the summer camp was run by the Wenzhou Traditional Promotion Association – a non‑governmental group, not the local government per se. The sessions spanned from August 10 to August 24, and a few instructors even hopped over from Fushun in Northeast China’s Liaoning province.
Why People Are Protesting
Think of it like this: Imagine a school where the lesson plan insists that girls are “naturally weaker” and supports the idea that “if a wife quits, it’s a disaster.” Anyone who wears a modern worldview will see that as a big, glaring headline for separation and equal call for boundaries. It’s no wonder parents and women’s rights advocates slammed the program for pushing outdated \”ideals\” onto kids still learning what equality actually feels like.
What’s Next?
The city has now cancelled the course, and authorities are scrambling to sweep up the remaining mess. Meanwhile, online communities are chanting for policies that protect minors from ‘misinformation’ and anti‑female content.
While some might say it’s a wake‑up call to practice better judgment, others defend it as a cultural mnemonic. That, folks, is the perfect drama I liked to call “Confusion and Comedy.” Either way, Wenzhou should learn that social‑media chatter can deliver a razor‑sharp message.
