Story highlights
China's Lunar New Year Gala was watched by 690 million people this year. Hong Kong (CNN) It was the most-watched TV show in the world -- and it was a sexist mess.
Comedy skit 1: "Female goddess and manly 2 woman!" in China's Lunar New Year Gala TV show mocked overweight, unmarried women. In a society where women still face significant challenges — from discrimination against girls to extreme pressure on women to marry early -- many watchers found the performance nauseating 3. A widely-circulated petition called the show "poisonous" and demanded it to be taken off air.
"Comparing 'manly women' and 'goddesses,' unmarried and unemployed 4 women... what qualifications do you have to discuss these topics?" one highly-rated comment fumed 5 at the show's producers.
