You have every right to live your life the way you want, even if it makes no sense to most of us. Maybe you'll find a "decent" man and maybe you won't. Maybe he'll resent that you expect him to provide for you. Maybe he'll cheat on you and you'll be left with nothing because you'll have no skills other than not enjoying sex and picking at your rice. Who knows -- that's not a life I would ever choose for myself, but to me the beauty of being a woman and a feminist is that I completely support you in whatever you want to do.

The problem is that you seem to be forcing your views on others when you say that a Chinese family who may or may not be religious should not have their own child because some rich family can provide better "polish" for the kid. I'm sorry, but I don't even have or want kids, and even I know better than to think that any parent would want to give up her kid so she could live in the suburbs and ride in an SUV. That's absurd.
