A few days ago, I learned about this incident on Bilibili. In the video, the girl painfully accused her father of secretly watching her shower four times, which made her feel extremely disgusted, and her father yelled at the end of the video, “Disgusting is disgusting, what do I care what you do.”
Later, the Women’s Federation issued a statement: “The video she posted is not real; the authorities will release the specific details.”
The final conclusion was that “it was a misunderstanding caused by a quarrel between both parties,” and there were news reports that a journalist interviewed the girl. The girl said she was emotionally agitated after the argument, posted the video, and later “regretted it,” having deleted the video. She also stated that her father promised to respect her in the future and to knock on her door before entering her room.
After the Women’s Federation’s statement, many men who support the father immediately celebrated, and various vulgar and obscene words flooded the comment section on Bilibili. They not only directly attacked the girl as influenced by XiaoHong and Weibo feminism but also defended the patriarchal family head to oppose reactionary men, engaging in feudal superstitions, claiming things like “a face like Fu Shou’er,” which is purely an attack on the girl’s appearance. Some supporters even said, “Who would secretly watch you if they are normal people,” a statement that blatantly exposes what “normal people” in their minds are. These supporters regard voyeurism of women as a matter of course, unwittingly revealing a reactionary worldview that takes pleasure in oppressing women and demonstrating their moral corruption.
Some supporters boasted, “One or two words can’t shake the status of a biological father,” implying that blood ties can guarantee absolute safety. Whether related or not, in a class society, there is no transcending familial love. In this middle-class society with even more degenerate male morals, cases of beastly fathers sexually abusing their daughters are countless and appalling. Blood relations are merely a convenient shortcut for these beasts to commit evil acts.
Justice-seeking netizens pointed out that most sexual assault cases are committed by acquaintances. Such slanderous statements that accuse women of false accusations only serve to encourage reactionary attitudes among acquaintances, silencing victims’ voices with verbal abuse.
Furthermore, some go to the extreme of defamation and distortion, shouting that “a vast number of women have found a new path to wealth,” turning women who resist sexual harassment and assault into mere “accounts,” which is an extremely shameless slander and suppression of oppressed women in society.
Netizens also found that not only was the related video deleted, but even the girl’s Douyin account had been cleared and renamed, indicating that the situation was not as simple as reports suggested. The girl’s father’s promise further proves the authenticity of her accusations. As for his excuse that he was worried about the smell of smoke bothering his younger son while brushing his teeth after smoking, and the fact that he entered his daughter’s room without knocking, these facts stand in stark contrast. The vastly different attitudes toward his son and daughter are precisely because, in a patriarchal society, sons are heirs of property, while daughters are merely commodities waiting to be sold.
To truly change the unequal and oppressive status faced by women, it is necessary to overthrow the reactionary, dark, middle-class state that keeps women from rising, and follow the path of women’s liberation to rebuild a new socialist society based on mutual respect and equality between men and women.
And in this matter, some say that the Women’s Federation, which claims to represent women’s interests, has all denied the rumors, so the girl’s accusations must be false. But is the Women’s Federation, which provides ammunition for reactionary male chauvinists to slander women, truly for the benefit of women?
The China Women’s News claims that in recent years, women’s federations at all levels across the country have persisted in and developed the “Fengqiao Experience” in the new era, resolving over 310,000 marriage and family disputes at the grassroots level and addressing them in their infancy. [https://www.cnwomen.com.cn/2025/05/21/wap_99729505.html].
For example, in the “Marriage and Family Dispute Resolution Cases” of the Shuangyashan Women’s Federation, when the wife filed for divorce, the husband refused, citing the young age of the two children. The dispute then stalemated, showing that women do not even have the freedom to divorce, and later, the husband even assaulted the wife after drinking. The wife resolutely demanded a divorce, but at this point, the Women’s Federation “quickly contacted the local police station and the street office” in the name of “emotional counseling” to suppress the conflict, but in fact, their goal was not to resolve the conflict but to maintain this patriarchal family structure, allowing the male head to continue oppressing his family members, turning the wife back home to continue caring for the two children and bearing unpaid domestic labor that society does not recognize, which only further lowers her social status and keeps her trapped in the old family system.

Similarly, in Hefei, Anhui, when a boy was forced to stand outside the air conditioning unit on the fifth floor, and was beaten by his mother to the point of jumping down, local Women’s Federation staff shamelessly claimed, “The child is fine now, he fell by himself, he’s naughty, and his mother just scared him with a stick.” [https://m.163.com/dy/article/I86I39AB05159CE4.html?spss=adap_pc]. Despite video evidence, they inverted black and white to protect the feudal parental “dignity.” In this incident, the local Women’s Federation also echoed this stance, claiming that the video filmed by the girl was not authentic, but they did not provide evidence to support this claim, merely helping the parents brutally suppress the girl’s resistance.
In a society filled with class oppression, the Women’s Federation naturally cannot be an institution that transcends class to safeguard women’s and children’s rights. Instead, it serves the consolidation of the bourgeoisie regime. The so-called family harmony promoted by the Women’s Federation is merely a means to uphold the existing patriarchal order, a one-sided compromise by the oppressed within the family to the oppressors, and a way to maintain the husband’s authority over the wife and the parental authority over children. The essence of the Women’s Federation is entirely reactionary.
The Wild Child incident was also dismissed by the Women’s Federation as an internal family education issue with no signs of abuse. The Women’s Federation has long been corrupt; now it is the Father’s Federation.
This news is angering and heartbreaking. The anger towards this beastly father, who is so filthy and despicable, using the authority of the head of the family to voyeuristically spy on his own daughter, with patriarchy and reactionary male chauvinism as his reliance. But this is certainly not just his personal moral corruption; the comments defending this beast with madness, the self-righteous accusations and slander against the girl, are also from beasts who have not been exposed for their own heinous acts. Their thoughts are no different. The vile Chinese reformists also come out to support these reactionaries, spreading rumors without any evidence, claiming that the video is not real, and even suppressing any voice of resistance. This only proves that the Chinese reformists are becoming increasingly weak, and therefore more and more in need of maintaining this relationship of male oppression of women and elders oppressing children.
