The crux is that many women in China are deciding to forego marriage. Their reasoning is that, among other things, there are no laws in China to protect women from domestic violence. Plus when a man and woman become married in China, her assets become his. Instead of listening to the women's valid complaints, people just ridicule them as losers.

So fear of domestic violence and a police system that refuses to protect women, along with fear of losing her assets are major reasons Chinese women are avoiding marriage.

The reason I'm posting this here is that these are among some (but not all) of the reasons men in the west are avoiding marriage. The biased court system that refuses to protect male victims of abuse (and if anything blames them for being crime victims) combined with a civil court system that turns a man's assets into his wife's assets are major motivators men in the west are avoiding marriage. There are other motivators obviously (the market is full of low quality women with giant egos, the decline of quality both mentally/physically in potential mates, the bias in family court system wrt custody disputes, etc) but the reasons listed by Chinese women are similar to the reasons I've heard men in the west discuss.

The next time a feminist or white knight claims MGTOW is bad or says MGTOWers are just losers, show them this article and ask them if they think the women in China have a point and valid reason for avoiding marriage (wanting to avoid being abused in a country where the legal system is indifferent to protecting them, wanting to avoid losing their assets). If they say yes, tell them those are major motivators in the MGTOW movement.

"The institution of marriage basically benefits men, and when women are hurt, this institution doesn't protect our rights," a young woman in Beijing recently told me. "The most rational choice is to stay single."

Change the genders and that is something you'd hear here.
