Ninety percent of Taiwanese netizens oppose "grandfather and grandmother's name change", Taiwan media: Taiwan's "Ministry of Education" should not find something to do
[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Wang Wanyu, a "legislator" of Taiwan's "Power of the Times", recently claimed that the "Ministry of Education" online Mandarin dictionary has gender discrimination issues. In the dictionary, it was originally the title of "mother's parents", and after adjustment, it is added "now also called grandfather, grandmother, grandpa, grandma", and there is no need to distinguish between inside and outside.
The move sparked fierce criticism on the island.
Yahoo conducted an online poll with the title "Do you agree with the Ministry of Education's Mandarin Dictionary to change grandparents to grandparents?" As of 8 pm on the 15th, only 6.7% of the votes were in favor, and 93.3% of the votes were against.
Wang Hanyang, CEO of the "National Religion Action Alliance", believes that removing relevant entries does not respect women, but will weaken the role of mothers.
A comment published by the "United Daily News" on the 15th said that the people's grandparents have been called since ancient times. Who is discriminatory?
"Ministry of Education" makes trouble for no reason, and why?
A comment published by Zhongshi Electronic News stated that Wang Wanyu revealed that their children did not understand, "Why are there differences between the parents of the father and the parents of the mother?" The simplification has highlighted their mental handicap; their knowledge of Chinese is even worse than that of mainland students.”
Taiwan's "Ministry of Education" should do more meaningful and practical things according to its own major, rather than just looking for something to do when it is idle.
Another analysis said that grandparents are divided into internal and external, which is easy to identify blood relationship, avoid confusion, etc., and has nothing to do with gender discrimination. The purpose of Sinicization?" (Yu Ming)
