Chinese anger over 'sex degrades girls' textbook comment

28 June 2016 China

A Chinese sex education textbook describing girls who have premarital sex as "cheap" has sparked a backlash on micro-blogging site Weibo.

Premarital sex had a "tremendous negative psychological and physical impact on girls", said the High School Sex Education book.

First published in 2004, it came to light recently after a teacher posted passages of the textbook on Weibo.

Chinese netizens quickly caught on to it, accusing it of double standards.

The textbook, by 21st Century Publishing Group, also added that "girls do not increase the love they receive from boys by sacrificing their bodies, but rather are seen as 'degraded' by their 'conquerors'.

Other kids who imitate them degrade girls. It's one of the worst forms of bullying.

Sex doesn't sully, defile, or otherwise degrade girls. Just make sure they know what they need to so that the slut shamer doesn't leave them with a baby 9 months later. Or worse.
