Mao legalized homosexuality during the Cultural Revolution.
jfl didnt know it, thx
The only difference between the old left and the new left. It's just that most of them were anti-LGBT, but feminism and anti-racism were the same. The Bolsheviks were literally the first to give women the right to file for divorce if they wanted to, and also promoted free love and an attitude towards sex like a glass of cold water on a hot day.
really?
never heard/read of this, and i couldn't find anything on this either after searching
didn't they give electroshock therapy to homosexuals?
I don't remember, but I read about it 5 years ago.
In general, I can believe this, given that the Maoists were part of the new left movement in the 1960s, and the Cultural Revolution was also aimed at gaining the support of Western youth. The main ideas of the new left included second-wave feminism, the fight for racial minorities, the fight for gay rights, and opposition to the Vietnam War.
In 1979, Deng Xiaoping proposed a bill that made same-sex relations a crime. It wasn't until 1997 that the law was repealed, and homosexuals were no longer punished for hooliganism.
Stalin banned homosexuality in the USSR in 1933, and the ban remained in effect until 1991. Article 121 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR states that sexual intercourse between men (male homosexuality) is punishable by up to seven years in prison.
i see
its curious how there was never a criminalization of female homosexuality in many countries
UK was the same, only punishment for male homosexuality
This is because women have always been treated favorably, like mentally disabled children, meaning that their crimes have always been punished less severely than those committed by men, as if women are not responsible for their actions and are not capable of making decisions.
agreed; phrases like "women and children first" show this, they're lumped within the same protected status as children
It may be biologically determined that a woman is a machine that can potentially give you many children, but even this argument doesn't work well in a world of (((equality))).
