- Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of people who have been raising the awareness of gender equality. At the same time, however, misinterpretations and misunderstandings arise and soon become rampant in online discussions. Aggressive advocates for feminism somewhat conspire to the stigmatization of feminism, a process that insults a group of people by stereotypes and remains the procedure. It leads to a result that makes it even harder for women to protect their rights since outsiders do not realize the issues and joke at them. This review focuses on the form of stigmatization of feminism and rationale against a Chinese backdrop of feminism, and it is expected to offer insights into feminism in China with an all-around picture in a long run. Additionally, the comparison between western countries and China is illustrated to showcase that the unique domestic situation underlies the stigmatization of feminism, and distinguishes the differences between different cultures. For further research, solutions to the issue are expected to be raised based on this literature review.
