HONG KONG (Reuters) - A fashion trend in China dubbed
"good for marriage" has generated a social media storm, with scores of women saying the demure, feminine style plays to gender stereotypes and discourages financial independence.
The number of newborns is closely tied to marriage rates due to official policies that make it difficult for single women to have children. Another Weibo user posted:"I am so happy alone. Super happy! Be a hard-to-marry girl, sensible, self-interested, loves herself." In Chinese, the trend literally translates as"good family tradition". Traditionally, women are seen as the primary carers for their children and households.
