Story highlights

China's Lunar New Year Gala was watched by 690 million people this year. Hong Kong (CNN) It was the most-watched TV show in the world -- and it was a sexist mess.

Comedy skit¹: "Female goddess and manly² woman!" in China's Lunar New Year Gala TV show mocked overweight, unmarried women. In a society where women still face significant challenges — from discrimination against girls to extreme pressure on women to marry early -- many watchers found the performance nauseating³. A widely-circulated petition called the show "poisonous" and demanded it to be taken off air.

"Comparing 'manly women' and 'goddesses,' unmarried and unemployed⁴ women... what qualifications do you have to discuss these topics?" one highly-rated comment fumed⁵ at the show's producers. 

Vocabulary:

Comedy skit, Mock, nauseating
