President Tsai Ing-wen faces insults due to being unmarried and not having children. FMTNews Sexism Taiwan
Tsai Ing-wen fires back at all insults directed at her calling them ‘unacceptable’.
She has once again faced insults based on her gender, much of it focused on the fact she is not married and does not have children. Taiwan’s election will be closely watched because much of the campaign has centred on relations with authoritarian China which has ramped up pressure since Tsai’s 2016 election.
The KMT’s Wu described her as “fatty” and “a big sow” while Taipei’s mayor Ko Wen-je, head of the new Taiwan People’s Party, described her as “a fatter Han Kuo-yu”. Taiwan’s progressive image got a further boost when it became the first in Asia to legalise same-sex marriages in May.
