So the other day I read a study about majority residents being more liberal in China: https://www.csis.org/analysis/public-opinion-china-liberal-silent-majority

And also how higher per capita income regions in China have less discrimination against LGBTQ+ Communities: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-020-08834-y

So I am Optimistic about China becoming more liberal soon with higher growth.

But I have a question, I also read your post about how South Korea and Japan have “life time jobs” which sustains patriarchy, is that similar for China?

Also do you think india has any chance in the near future for having a labor intensive growth which can increase female labor force participation rate and formal employment which would reduce casteism and sexism? Also I loved your post about patrilineal trap, which blackpilled me into thinking of emigrating india 💀

Also, Toronto sounds fun, I am originally from india and I am going to be moving to Toronto to study Bachelor’s in economics maybe a year or 2 from now... Canada sounds a very egalitarian country... anyways, have a great day.

Great to at you’re in Toronto. If you haven’t had a chance to do so yet, it might be interesting for you to spend some time in areas outside of Toronto, like Brampton for example, where there are large communities of people who have migrated from parts of South Asia over the past 40 years, including from the Punjab, Haryana, to see if young women in these communities live under a different set of norms than those that prevail in downtown Toronto.
