Sex Meetings - Taiwan's 'Yuepao'. May 01, As far as women are concerned, Taiwanese society tends to value female characteristics such as faithfulness, filial piety , innocence and submissiveness to men.
Many women create a public persona that conforms to such standards, as it is assumed that following the accepted social norms will advance one's prospects of a good marriage and career. However, the reality often contradicts abstract ideals, as the phenomenon of Taiwan 's yuepao shows.
It can be roughly translated as "sex meeting". What is peculiar about the yuepao is that this trend spread on Taiwanese universities campuses, revealing a side of students' lives which public opinion had ignored or had chosen to ignore for a long time. Numerous fan pages and groups sprang up on social media to meet the demand for this kind of meeting.
Her aim was to break with tradition and end men's sexual 'hegemony'. The yuepao phenomenon soon spread to other universities. According to Taiwanese media, in students of over 20 universities started their own yuepao pages, among them National Taiwan University, National Zhongzheng University, Furen University and Donghai University.
In May they stuck up posters on walls of the university campus. The posters portrayed naked men and women as well as couples having sex. Although GEW's bold actions provoked public criticism, they also sparked a public debate on an issue that used to be taboo.
