This book focuses on the #MeToo movement in China, critically
examining how three competing ideologies have worked in co-opting
#MeToo activism: China's official communism, Western neoliberalism,
and an emerging Chinese cyber feminism. In 2018, China's #MeToo
cyber activism initially maintained its momentum despite strict
censorship, presenting women's voices against gendered violence and
revealing scripts of power in different sectors of society.
Eventually though it lost impetus with sloganization and
stigmatization under a trio of forces of pressures: corporate
corruption, over-politicization by Western media, and continued
state censorship. The book documents the social events and gendered
norms in higher education, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs),
business, and religious circles that preceded and followed
high-profile cases of alleged sexual abuses in mainland China,
engaging with sociological scholarship relating to demoralization
and power, media studies, and gender studies. Through these
entwined theories the author seeks to give both scholars and the
general audience in gender studies a window into the ongoing
tension in the power spheres of state, market, and gendered
hierarchy in contemporary Chinese society. This book will be of
interest to students of gender studies, China studies, media
studies, and cultural studies
