There is no Escape

 A Chinese Cultural Revolution poster depicting the One Child Policy.

In China a catastrophic dearth of

females has ensued from the one-child

policy of the Cultural Revolution 

leaving countless males of marriageable

age without a spouse in a society that

favours boy babies over girls. Now 

that Chinese women are in high demand

they should be placed on a pedestal

of the future in a country whose birth

rate has plummeted. Yet men beat their

wives and when separation occurs and

custodial decisions leave their issue 

with its mother, even ill-thought-of

girl babies are now prized from their

mothers' arms in a conflict of custody

where police deny that a father could

possibly abduct his very own child.
