This is all completely normal in the South. Men have more earning power, investing in women who will marry out of the family is a waste. My cousin barely spoke a word English but all my family's savings went to send him to school in Canada. He was The Great Hope.

Men can't get married without property- no marriage, no grandson. So Chinese men get all the money for education, property, and to start businesses in Southern China- and it's almost impossible to start a small business without family capital. A few help daughters, but it's rare.
If it were a level playing field- men get nothing and women get nothing, fine. But when almost any small business requires significant family capital that most women just don't have access to, you end up giving men a huge advantage.
More and more women aren't getting married because compounding injustice by sacrificing a career and putting themselves in a vulnerable position for some putz who was spoiled from birth at the expense of his female relatives and will expect more of the same just isn't worth it.
