According to Taiwan, when he was building a platform for Chen Ming, a candidate for Keelung City Councillor of an independent ethnic minority, he mentioned that young and beautiful candidates "just go to the beauty pageant." The Kuomintang Women's Ministry expressed severe condemnation today (28th). It is hard to imagine that there are such outdated remarks in this society? Even from the mouth of the county and city mayor, it was really out of style, "Please apologize and go back to the last century."

The Kuomintang Women's Ministry said that it is hard to imagine that there are still such outdated remarks in this society? What's more, the remarks were really unqualified when it was said by the county and city mayors. Lin Youchang owed all Taiwanese women an apology.
The Kuomintang Women's Ministry further pointed out that women's participation in politics has always been subject to quite a lot of challenges, including doubts about their abilities or comparisons of appearance and age. "Do your husband agree? Family pressure?! It is also easy to be labeled as a vase", but the demands, political views and "politician professionalism" of politicians are the key points that should be paid attention to.
Kuomintang Women's Ministry emphasized that this society has been working hard for so long and has been promoting "democratic values" for a long time. With the long-term appeal and contribution of many female movement workers and politicians, as well as the continuous "dialogue" and "reconciliation" and "understanding" between the two genders, now the first female leader in Taiwan has even included the possibility of "diversity of gender".
The Kuomintang Women's Ministry believes that Lin Youchang's remarks clearly show his backward gender perspective and narrow tolerance. If he still holds this mentality in a constantly improving society, then please go back to the last century or wait to be eliminated by the torrent of the times. "Please go back to the last century!" I also hope that regardless of party membership, age, and qualifications, all "female political workers" should receive equal respect and treatment in the political arena. Please focus on examining their governance profession and policy demands, not just looking at age and appearance, their abilities and work enthusiasm will never lose to men.
