Why is feminism so successful in Taiwanese society and what are the problems it makes?
Feminism
is a hot topic in recent years, and it is happening in the United States
and Taiwan
, but it is not happening in Japan
, we all agree Japan
is strong in many aspects. The most obvious is Japanese tourism and Japanese culture, including animation, music, food, etc., is also
integrated into the lives of Taiwanese
people. In terms of sports competitions, Japanese volleyball, Kou Shien, basketball, professional e-sport, etc. all win Taiwan
, but only the women
’s rights are low (Shu-Lan Zhuang, 2014). However
, Taiwanese
feminism
has been very strong in gender
equality issues in recent years. But the question is what does it make this
happen? In this
essay, we will understand why Taiwanese
feminism
is so successful in society
and what makes the “Princess
Syndrome” issues in young ladies.
Taiwanese
feminism
is successful in national society
, with more than a quarter female members of Congress and the first
president (BBC, 2016). These achievements make Taiwan
’s feminist rights ranked fourth in the world.
In Taiwan
, 87.3% and 75.1% of men and women
over the age of 25 received high-level education and there is no difference in high-level education between the male and females. In a neighboring
country Change the spelling
neighbouring
Japan
, men receive as high as 91.7% of high-level education, but only 79.4% for women
. The historical issues of Japan
are still more serious in Japan
than in Taiwan
and that is
the main reason why Taiwan
can surpass Japan
and in feminism
.
However
, the United States
, which is the best example of a democratic country but ranks 38th in the global gender
inequality index. The main reason is that the United States
has a higher crude birth rate of underage girls
, which decreased the ranking of the United States
. In addition
, the proportion of female congressmen in the United States
is only 17%. And it is not outstanding enough in global performance.
But why feminism
is so successful in Taiwan
, did feminists in Taiwan
do anything? Taiwanese
feminist has worked on it and hardly for a half-century, a famous feminist woman name Fan-Yun organized the history of Taiwanese
feminism
history, The first
stage
of feminism
Anne Lu proposed new feminism
in 1971, and secondly
is the stage
of expansion which means women
's News Magazine was established in 1982, The third
stage
of diversified development unlocked in 1987, and the fourth stage
from the differentiation routes to the establishment the female right on society
from 1990 until now.
As we mentioned earlier, feminism
in Taiwan
was prevalent after the 90s, so children
born after the 90s, especially girls
, were born in a full of feminism
era, they have not experienced what is gender
inequality. In Taiwan
, women
have the same rights as men. Because of this
, girls
are loved like princesses
by patients, and children
born in the 1990s grew up watching Disney
animations, the prince saves the trapped princess
fairy tells affects girls
deeply, so it causes another issue called “Princess
Syndrome” (Ciara-lee Durand, 2015).
To cultivate the temperament of their daughters, many parents dress their children
like "princesses
" from an early age, but is being a princess
the best choice for a girl
? According to a survey conducted by the journal "Child Development" (Wen-No Wu, 2018), the role of princesses
will have a "gender
frame effect" on young children
, which will hurt their future
lives.
Those girls
who play with Disney
princesses
will have more obvious gender
stereotypes after one year. They want to look like princesses
more than others
and they feel less confident. These girls
who like princesses
usually don't like to play games outside because they are afraid of getting dirty and think that they have no "femininity" in this
way.

They also

girls
long-term. The researchers also
said that this
kind of "feeling oneself princess
girl
" is more likely to give up on challenging things, may not want to work in the future
, and will be particularly concerned about her shape. But boys who have been immersed in Disney
cartoons since childhood have a more positive impact. Research has found that boys who like to play with Disney
toys are more confident in their bodies and more kind to others
the reasons are quite interesting, but we are not going to discuss this
today (Sarah M. Coyne, 2019).
In summary, the rise of feminism
is a good thing for society
in Taiwan
, but a part of women
will use this
advantage to achieve personal benefits (Shu-Lan Zhuang, 2014). They don’t want to work hard to get results, it is unfair to others
, and it is unacceptable. Therefore
, how to find a perfect balance between the two will be a very important topic for feminists, not just for Taiwanese
feminists but for all over the world, to find a true pathway thought equality gender
in the future
