1. Hey, Red China did a lot to raise women up decades ago.
I mean, compared to where women were in that country before. I bet there's been a ton of backsliding too. It's not that long ago that I actually read what 'foot binding' really meant. Female foot mutilation in my eyes. To go from there to outlawing sexual harassment took a while. Outlawing domestic violence? Now that's truly radical given traditions in that country and I'm sure more than one other Asian country, too.

Will it amount to anything? Probably not, since the people will fight this 'intrusion'.
