Definition of Beauty during Maoist Time and Modern China

We talked about the equality of men and women during Maoist time in China. I want to clarify two concepts: Equal to men and Same as men.

The definition of equality during maoist time means doing exactly as men, which is also a characteristic in the first wave of feminism movement in 1911 revolution. Women wear exact clothes and do exact jobs as men: their clothes are all military styles, same color (green, blue, grey); they read same books as men and do same jobs as men (soldiers, workers, farmers...) Such feminism disregarded the physical and psychological differences between men and women.

Actually, the equality between men and women means the freedom to do what they can do. Both men and women can take advantages of their physical characteristics and take their interests into consideration when they make decisions. That is what post-Maoist feminists think about. In modern China, women have same rights as men in getting education, choosing jobs, reading books, watching TV programs, they are more open and free. Despite some rural areas where traditional gender role still exist, Chinese feminism is getting close to the worldwide trend of  emancipation of female.
