Feminists facing resistance in China find the funny side of things
Updated:
The growing role of women in China’s stand-up scene and the recent success of funny female-oriented films reflect one way feminism is breaking into the Chinese mainstream: through comedy.
BEIJING — For women in China, it may feel as if there is little to laugh about these days.
The world’s second-largest economy is struggling to recover from the pandemic, and the government is cracking down on feminist activism as it encourages women to embrace “traditional” female roles as wives and mothers.
But women were laughing nonetheless, as amateur performers told jokes about office and family life to a small but engaged audience of about 20 people, mostly young women, at a Western restaurant in Beijing on a recent winter evening.
Alex Wang, the only female performer out of about half a dozen that night, said she felt “empowered” when she first got on stage a few years ago.
Though “being funny is the most important thing,” she said in an interview after her performance, “I want to grow not just as a comedian but as a woman finding her voice in this space.”
