Annotation

This paper limns appearing misogynistic labels including the morpheme biăo ‘tart’ as a gendered personal suffix in the Chinese cyber vocabulary. It asserts that verbal misogyny is an essential part of a wider gender ideology by clarifying the reciprocal formation of women's linguistic pejoration and the gender order in postreform China.
