There is this one scene from secondary school that has stayed with me until today.
One day in a Chinese language class, the teacher asked us a question. Actually the question was directed to the boys.
‘How many of you would prefer their wife to be a housewife?’
And to my surprise (and at the time, indignation) almost all of the boys in my class raised their hands. For someone like me who was brought up in a dual income household and naturally thought women are equal to and have the same rights as men, it was a pretty jarring moment.
