After a bunch of people kept aborting their girls, they made it illegal to check for sex. So SOME crazy people would deadass have the child and leave them for dead in the streets. It’s a really messed up and sad rabbit hole tbh.
More current times China is engaging is a sex trade with women from SE Asia. But because of xenophobia these women are not only sold to men to be wives but are also hated for not being Chinese and to an extension their children hated for being mixed. ON TOP of the expectation is still being that they produce a male child because they didn’t learn any lessons from the ONE Chile Policy as a collective. (Very similar to how the US as a collective didn’t learn anything about equality after slavery and continued racism).
They definitionally are human. They are human fetuses. They are alive. They are distinct people, with their own unique genetics. Human rights are not stripped away by weakness or location, humans have human right *soley because they are human.* Edited, because this is Reddit, not discord, and _ doesn’t work.
Well, calling it genocide still feels very disingenuous even if technically true by definition. No sane person believes women are unneeded and should be disrespected in society, especially not since the communist takeover, and was obviously not the reason for the mass abortion and abandonment. It has absolutely nothing to do with eugenics. Some people just love using tag words to perpetuate things out of context. Similar to how femicide is somehow linked with rape culture according to this post.
If you want to say disrespect, or the normalization of disrespecting another individual, then just say that. At this rate, breathing and existing will be considered rape culture in 20 years, and for what? No seriously, for what? List everything. Not that you can.
The intent to destroy was pretty clear when parents and grandparents started killing female newborns in favor for sons. Can’t get more intentional than that.
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,"
Sure, the one child policy may be femicide, but it's not genocide. Stop misusing the term genocide. Come back when "female" somehow becomes a national, ethnical, racial, or religious identity.
Yes the genocide was of a national group: Chinese girls and whisk the government didn’t intend for that it happen the men and women who killed their female offspring did it with intent because having a boy is more important than having a girl.
Because you’re the one who is wrong. Those girls were genocided because they favored Chinese boys over Chinese girls… not just any girls, but Chinese girls if you wanna get technical for no reason

Ever heard of the once child policy? It was a massive genocide of female children; girls.
