and the West falls again to China...

Women have always been as important as men, although the rewards were not as great. The first article I found was very interesting. Despite the many men in China, the majority of billionaires are women. It is because the families that do decide to keep their daughter invest probably more into that child than those with sons. Moving on to my next article of bound feet, all I can think of are the women (feet bound) fleeing the Communist during the fight for Nationalism, fleeing the Japanese during WWII, how excruciating it might have been yet they continued on. It was so hard to abolish such a practice. During Manchurian rule, they didn't believe in foot-binding (of course being a foreign ruler), yet the practice still continued. During the Mao Dynasty, he sought to end foot-binding by making women unbind their feet. It didn't go as planned because unbinding bound feet was as bad as binding feet. At least he was able to keep the practice from continuing by making it punishable for adults to bind children's feet -- Thanks Mao!  However, it doesn't take you off the hook from all the atrocities you committed....It was hard to end a thousand year practice due to the investment women put into it. It is always hard to end a tradition no matter how much pain it causes.

Why are there so many Women Billionaires

Footbinding Yikes!
