The Higher Status of Chinese Women
In the hard copy of the “New Weekly” 新周刊 () （a rather interesting Chinese publication) of 2005-09-01 there is nice phrase about the presumed higher status of Women in China.
男人的法定结婚年龄是22岁，
Men’s legal age to marry is 22 years
法定当兵年龄是17岁，
The legal age to serve as a soldier is 17 years
这说明女人比敌人还难对付。
This means that women are even more difficult to handle than enemies
Discaimer: This is just a poor man’s attempt to translate so let me know if there are any mistakes.
