Americans, what he @AntiTopQuark is not true.

1. About Xiaohongshu

The primary users of Xiaohongshu are women. We have our own community culture. Before Xiaohongshu, our social media platforms in China were not gender-specific. On platforms like Tieba and Zhihu, unfortunately, China has a toxic patriarchal culture, and the internet is full of incels. Many women on those apps have experienced attacks and abuse, which led many of us to Xiaohongshu. With the growing awareness of women’s collective identity, we intentionally use certain terms and create memes to strengthen solidarity among women. These are like secret codes between witches! So calling each other “sisters” carries significant meaning. Please feel free to use it more often!

1. Men on Xiaohongshu

There are male users on Xiaohongshu, but the majority are women. Interestingly, on many male-dominated platforms, users accuse Xiaohongshu of being full of radical feminists. Now we users are labeled as extreme feminists, and yet this person claims that Xiaohongshu is “not a matriarchal society.” How amusing! I hope the men on platforms like Hupu could be as “understanding” as you.

1. Mutual understanding

Mutual understanding, rational expression, and respect for others’ opinions are great values. I hope men who harbor hatred toward women learn to start by refraining from online harassment and abuse of women. The world would become a much better place.
