Beijing
THE young Chinese feminists shaved their heads to protest inequality in higher education and stormed men's restrooms to highlight the indignities women face in their prolonged waits at public toilets.
To publicise domestic violence, two prominent activists, Li Tingting and Wei Tingting, put on white wedding gowns, splashed them with red paint and marched through one of the capital's most popular tourist districts chanting, "Yes to love, no to violence." Media-savvy, fearless and well-connected to feminists outside China, the young activists over the past three years have taken their righteous indignation to the streets, pioneering a brand of guerrilla theatre familiar in the West but largely unheard of in this authoritarian nation.
