I Hate Sexism I hate sexism. Every time I see the rape news in India, or the honor killing news in Pakistan, or "period poverty" in Africa, I feel angry! When I thought why this anger was about, I thought it through. As I was a little kid, around six years old, one day, my mother told me, “Your grandmother doesn’t like you and she favours your brother because of you are a girl.” Since then a seed of grudge against sexism has been grown in me. what my mom told me was true. I can remember one typical thing! At one Spring Festival, my "lovely" grandmother gave my brother 100 RMB as Yasuiqian meanwhile she gave me only 5 RMB. They did that behind my back and I overheard that out of the door. How ridiculous! When I was 21 years old, my father took a loan from bank and bought a new apartment, on the advance sales of commercial housing contract he signed his name and my younger brother’s name. I saw it! Not even my mother’s name! Let alone me! Even at that point my parents actually liked me more than my brother, because I had a good grade at school and my brother was not. I got so upset and argued with my father a few times. Half of the money belonged to my mother who works even harder then her husband! Why my brother’s name on it! I cannot even remember what his answers were. This event has caused the emotional distance between me and the old man since then! After this I was keen to have my own apartment and I made it years later. I bought my own apartment just on my own! I am so proud of myself! In my opinion, those who rely on their parents to get money to buy a flat and a car surely will let their parents control their lives somehow! I have been so independent. It is a culture thing. Even now son preference is still deeply rooted in China. The saddest thing is that some women have that idea too. How pathetic!
