Which of the following statements is true regarding gender equality in Southeast Asia?

A. Mao Zedong declared that “Women hold up half the sky.”
B. South Korea is the only Southeast Asian country that supports absolute gender equality.
C. Traditional Confucian views no longer maintain the inferiority of women.
D. Japan’s nationalists support female succession to the Chrysanthemum Throne.

1. Mao did say that women hold up half the sky - so this statement is correct. But let's look at other statements. 2: China, but also other countries also support absolute gender equality (at least in theory) so it's false. 3: Traditional Confucianism did not change, and still maintains the inferiority of men - traditional beliefs don't change often. 4: The nationalists have no reason to support female succession, especially that male succession is the traditional one, so that's the one they would support.

None of the statements are entirely true regarding gender equality in Southeast Asia. However, statement A, about women holding up half the sky, is historically accurate but focuses on China. Thus, it is important to understand the regional context of each statement.
