“KMT politicians are resorting to insulting women to bolster their campaigns. I urge all women to not vote for the KMT to prevent gender equality from regressing several decades,” DPP Taipei City Councilor Chien Hsu-pei (簡舒培) told a news conference at DPP headquarters in Taipei.
She said that she has launched a drive calling for people to “reject the chauvinist pigs of the KMT,” which had already gained much support on social media.
“KMT Chairman Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) disparaged President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) as an ‘ill-starred woman’ (衰尾查某) who has brought Taiwan misfortune, displaying his chauvinist attitude in maligning the nation’s leader,” Chien said. [FULL STORY]
