Chinese feminists are rebuilding their movement abroad - The Economist

Two Chinese women sit on the stage of a basement comedy club in Manhattan. They wear matching blazers and speak highly formal Mandarin, just like presenters on Chinese state television. But their “news commentary” is acid. Chinese youths who have recently been making nuisance phone calls to Japan—in protest at the release of waste water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant—have shown “commendable spirit” insists one of the newsreaders, to a guffawing crowd. Despite having “no jobs or incomes” these nationalistic youngsters have “spent their own money on long-distance calls”.

The pair are performers at a Chinese feminist stand-up show called “Nvzizhuyi” (a play on words that can be read either as “Women’s Ideas” or “Good Ideas”). It is part of a new, irreverent form of diaspora activism led by young Chinese women. Each month “Nvzizhuyi” invites Chinese citizens, mostly women, onto the stage in New York to say things that they could never utter in public back home. Their routines incorporate stories about coming out to their conservative parents; complaints about sexual harassment or immigrant hardships; and even accounts of detention and abuse by Chinese police. Most of their stories are funny. Many are bittersweet.

These are not good times for Chinese who consider themselves feminists. In the early 2010s women’s rights activists were able to mount frequent public protests in China. They occupied men’s toilets and marched through the streets in red-stained wedding dresses to protest gender inequality and domestic violence. Activity of this sort ended abruptly in 2015. That year five prominent feminists were detained just before International Women’s Day, for planning a campaign against sexual harassment on public transport.

How To Describe Yourself In An Interview: Words To Use With Examples - Forbes

When you’re in the process of interviewing, one of the questions you’re certain to get is, “Tell me about yourself.” While interviewers will make the inquiry in various forms, it will be a go-to that you’ll need to be ready to answer with confidence and grace.

And this question is fundamental to your success. There are plenty of jobs available today, but the market for work is also very competitive—so your ability to set yourself apart by describing yourself in a concise and compelling way will make or break the employer’s decision to offer you the job—or not.

No matter how they ask the question, the interviewer will want to learn something about both your knowledge and your experience as well as how you relate to people and function within the organization.

Learning by Doing: How Trial and Error is a Big Part of the Entrepreneur's Journey - StartUp Mindset - StartUp Mindset

We all hold people or businesses aloft as those who inspire us or we may wish to emulate. It’s important that we have these people to aspire too. They give us an ideal that we want to match or perhaps surpass?

Only a few years before I started my business back in 2013, I would have thought it inconceivable for me to run a business for this long and actually make it successful. Why? Because I had never run a business before and I had no idea where to start.

You may think it necessary to have a business certification or diploma to get started or it’s only possible through partnerships and Boards of Directors. I know I thought I did initially. However, it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you can conceivably start a business by simply getting started!
