Abstract

After a century of profound historical change, Chinese feminism has developed into diverse schools and branches, with different theoretical approaches and strategies appearing in the internet era. “Chinese pastoral feminism” is a representative and influential form of feminism, but its existence is surrounded by controversy and criticism. It is no exaggeration to state that the very term “Chinese pastoral feminism” has become a thinly-veiled insult, often used ironically to attack some feminist actions or discourses. The debating wars occasioned by Chinese pastoral feminism often appear on China’s social media. However, so far, this controversial and influential Chinese feminist phenomenon has not been studied by Chinese academics, and this dissertation will be the first micro-study of the phenomenon of Chinese pastoral feminism. It considers the essential factors contributing to its emergence, and its wider impact upon the development of Chinese feminism.
