标题:Can Men in China Take a Joke? Women Doing Stand-Up Have Their Doubts.Comedy has become a way for women to skewer China’s gender inequality. Some men aren’t happy about it.
正文:On the list of topics best avoided by China’s comedians, some are obvious. Politics. The Chinese military. Now add: Men’s fragile egos. That, at least, was the message sent this month, when a major e-commerce platform abruptly ended a partnership with China’s most prominent female stand-up comic. The company was caving to pressure from men on social media who described the comedian, Yang Li, as a man-hating witch.
