Maybe not racist, but definitely stupid to use words in the language as proof. The way thousands-of-years-old words are formed has fuckall to do with modern gender issues in any country, so using Chinese words to say "here's your proof of China's gender issues" is making a nonsequitur.

Yeah like... there are plenty of words in every language that, if you take a close look at their etymology, would have ...unfortunate implications. It's just not as easy to see at first glance. You can criticise sexism in Chinese culture all you want but the characters are a really dumb argument.

'Proof' lol. I'm sorry did you take my comment as a treatise or something rather than a few sentences I typed in a minute? Lolol

Proof. Give me a break. It's a nuance of Mandarin that made me go 'oh give me a break'. I don't actually need to prove anything. The gender issues in China are well known and well documented. It may not be the only country with those issues but that doesn't make the very real problems there disappear.
