GENDER experts and major media platforms criticized a “morality class” for teenage girls in East China insisting that if women change boyfriends, their hands and feet will decay and get amputated finally, and that women are inferior to men.

In a widely circulated video posted by Pear Video on Saturday, a family summer camp in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, allegedly teaches students, most of whom are teenagers, moral principles that women should obey.

According to the video, the underage students were voluntarily sent to the camp by their parents. Most of these teenagers were girls.

“This class in the name of spreading traditional Chinese culture will harm underage girls by gradually weakening their personal will,”

Ke Qianting, a researcher on feminism and professor at Sun Yat-sen University, told the Global Times on Sunday.

A class instructor claimed that women should never fight back and never seek a divorce no matter what happens in their marriage.

“Obedience is foremost for a female’s survival,” the instructor said.

The video shows that the Wenzhou camp is connected to a former female morality school in Fushun, Northeast China’s Liaoning Province, as the teaching materials used were from the school.

The video sparked outrage on social media, with some asking why such so-called morality classes could not be eliminated.

The People’s Daily called for a ban of the classes on its Weibo account. “Why do these ignorant classes still exist? It is due to a lack of regulation.”
