I actually got the following from a feminist article on Fridae.com (click here for the original article in Chinese). I've roughly translated the Chinese text into English - please excuse me if anything sounds a bit off, which I think it is weird in certain parts.
《如何在男人當家的組織中站穩腳跟》
1、別用男人的標準量自己，要從容不迫，保持個性。
2、胸有成竹再行動，沒信心時也要顯得鎮定。
3、別讓自己疲於奔命、費力不討好，要有尊嚴。
4、遠離蜚短流長，深入認識真相。
5、不要總當跟班，自己要有主意，重要問題別妥協。
6、不要害怕爭論，要據理力爭、以理服人。
7、遇到小人須冷靜，要不卑不亢，委曲求全只能讓對方得寸進尺。
8、不要甘當二等公民或者保姆雜役。
9、不要參與男人的遊戲，更要當心變成男人遊戲中的棋子兒。
How to Survive under a Patriarchal Society
1. Never compare yourself with men. Maintain your own distinctiveness and uniqueness.
2. Only act when you have full confidence to win. Even when you are not so certain at times, remain calm.
3. Don't wear yourself out. Keep your dignity.
4. Drift away from rumours. Go dig for the real truth.
5. Don't just simply follow orders. Have your own opinions. Never compromise on important issues.
6. Don't be afraid of arguments. Use facts to persuade others.
7. Remain calm while defeating sneaky people. Ask them for pity will only let their force grow bigger.
8. Don't volunteer to a second class citizen.
9. Don't get involve with the games of men. Don't be their chess piece.
