Some feedback =)

Hi Tinble,

Very interesting topic! I really enjoyed reading your page. As someone who comes from a Chinese background, I could relate with some of the beliefs and practices that you mentioned. For example, you described how young girls in China would be lectured if teachers found out that they had a boyfriend - my mom experienced the same thing too back when she was in school (though it was a long time ago haha). I like how you mentioned that people in China associate a woman's virginity with her worth and innocence, a deep rooted belief that is dissimilar to Western values. It goes to show how different social locations (religion, geographical location and ethnic background etc.) interact to create oppression for certain groups of people, thereby reflecting intersectionality. One question that occurred to me while reading your page was I wonder if the rate of teen pregnancies differ between urban and rural areas in China. If so, what factors contribute to this difference (education, religion, parenting styles, socioeconomic status...). Also, a suggestion for you would be to expand on the “zero child policy”? This will make it easier for those who are not familiar with Chinese politics to understand your argument better. Specifically, what does it mean when the government does not consider the baby of an unmarried women a 'legal child'? Does this entail that he/she does not receive Chinese citizenship? Overall, awesome page :)
