Recently, the trending topic on Weibo about “a man being detained for sending obscene videos to his girlfriend” clearly shows that, in the eyes of some men, sending obscene videos to their girlfriends is not considered a serious issue. To them, simply because the recipient is a girlfriend, an illegal act can be beautified as “flirting,” which is utterly disgusting! Why is it that sending obscene videos to strangers is obviously regarded as sexual harassment, but sending obscene videos to a girlfriend is not considered extremely inappropriate by these men? In fact, for these men with severe pornographic thoughts and bourgeois views on love, and who do not treat women with equality and respect, dating is nothing more than legal prostitution. When a woman becomes their girlfriend, it essentially means they possess a sexual tool, which naturally grants them the “right” to have sex. In a country where marital rape can go unpunished,
The Supreme People’s Court explicitly states in Guiding Case No. 51 of “Criminal Trial Reference” (Wang Weiming Rape Case): “During the normal duration of a marriage, the husband cannot be the subject of rape; during the abnormal duration of a marriage, the husband can be the subject of rape.” The abnormal duration of marriage includes periods of separation due to emotional discord and the period after filing for divorce.
Sending obscene videos is an insignificant matter for these morally corrupt people. If not maliciously reported, law enforcement is highly unlikely to take action, and there may be no punishment at all, which fully reflects how the Chinese revisionist regime desperately maintains the reactionary ugliness of viewing women as sexual tools. As Engels said, in a patriarchal society, “All acts considered criminal against women that would lead to serious legal and social consequences are regarded as honorable for men, at most considered minor moral blemishes that can be accepted with ease.”
At this moment, a group of reactionary male chauvinists “kindly” remind other men, “If she actively asks you for it, don’t send it either; reporting is the same as false accusations,” shamelessly humiliating women with slut-shaming logic, fantasizing that oppressed women will be like these extreme individualist men who see pornography as filth, and even viciously accusing women of “false accusations” against men, which is extremely reactionary.
Moreover, the “Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China” defines “obscene materials” as follows:
Materials that depict sexual acts or promote pornography explicitly, including pornographic books, films, videotapes, audio tapes, pictures, and other obscene items. Scientific works related to human physiology and medical knowledge are not considered obscene materials. Literary and artistic works with artistic value that contain pornographic content are not regarded as obscene materials.
It is evident that the Chinese revisionist regime itself is the biggest disseminator of obscene pornography. Although it claims to have “artistic value,” it is essentially smuggling bourgeois pornographic culture to corrupt and undermine the Chinese people, thereby cultivating a batch of male chauvinists who insult and persecute women as the foundation of its rule. If Chinese men want to stand on the right side and oppose the Chinese revisionist regime’s rule, they must break away from the pornographic culture supported by the regime and the sexist ideas that insult women.
