One can call the environment a "sellers market" for girls, but are all the girls making their own choices? If it isn't kidnapping, then it's often choices made for them by their families.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-34287896995398780022012-06-14T17:24:24.584-07:002012-06-14T17:24:24.584-07:00Not sure about that one Ana.

It might be hard to get his idea exactly based on this english translation because Confucius was so fond of playing with "implication", but he did put women together with "little men", so every Chinese know what he mean. I must say, Confucius was one of champions who put down women, probably only second to that "peace fighter" Gandhi.Yun Yihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311104014692132715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-90204659842798431592012-06-14T16:32:59.563-07:002012-06-14T16:32:59.563-07:00They are probably eating them.They are probably eating them.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-44794163805056546632012-06-14T16:21:00.242-07:002012-06-14T16:21:00.242-07:00Possibly.

In theory there is but for some unknown reason this does not translate into what you see on the street. Indeed, there are usually hordes of women or girls shopping or doing their thing. Take a look yourself. On the other hand, I did notice that in one of the schools I taught there were a couple of classes where the shortage of girls was fairly obvious; six girls in one class alongside twenty boys. Perhaps the issue is more apparent in more mainland Chinese cities which I have not visited.Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088033081316289008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-28152265188867560432012-06-14T16:14:12.558-07:002012-06-14T16:14:12.558-07:00It certainly will, Calvin. 50 million horny Han -...It certainly will, Calvin. 50 million horny Han - what a thought!Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-26652111546200546612012-06-14T16:10:32.744-07:002012-06-14T16:10:32.744-07:00He did indeed, Bob.He did indeed, Bob.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-55334675415540069662012-06-14T15:39:31.035-07:002012-06-14T15:39:31.035-07:00Self gratification as a last resort or will there ...Self gratification as a last resort or will there be a significant increase in homosexuality?anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-84907215408243327772012-06-14T14:57:56.824-07:002012-06-14T14:57:56.824-07:00Will the Revolution morph from red to pink?
