More and more people are turning away from the traditional Chinese wedding custom of playing often insulting and demeaning pranks on bridesmaids in order to spice up the celebration.
Opposition reached a peak when footage emerged showing a bridesmaid at the wedding of actor Bao Bei’er being thrown into a swimming pool by the groomsmen.
In the leaked clip the bridesmaid was visibly frightened, while the groomsmen manhandled her until another bridesmaid intervened. Netizens criticized the casually aggressive chauvinism on display, urging male celebrities to take the lead in respecting women and rejecting sexist traditions.
