Under standard Earth atmosphere (20 Celsius degrees, 1 bar), feminism is spreading at 17.45 km/h (absolute error of 1.2 km/h).
More seriously : I quote from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism_in_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China
In 2013, the first woman to bring a gender discrimination lawsuit in China, a 23 year old who goes by the pseudonym of Cao Ju, won a small settlement of 30,000 yuan and an official apology from the Juren Academy.
Yup, 2013. Feminism as indeed a low diffusion speed over here. I know *one* girl who heard that word, because her major was English studies. But she didn't know much about the related historical background. It's pretty much unknown.
There are some feminist ideas but I doubt they stem from an academic understanding of the term.
Big cities especially Beijing have some underground feminist movements, a lot of activity comes from the Communications university in Tongzhou in Beijing, there are groups that campaign against domestic violence and sexual assault, although I also saw one group protesting for more women's bathrooms which isn't exactly a pressing issue... some people are starting to complain about the restrictions of gender roles, i.e men don't want to have to be completely financially responsible for women and the whole 'Nuhanzi' thing where some women are proud to be independent and capable (even if it means being labelled a man woman)
but on the other hand all of this is piled under a huge culture of slut shaming, plastic surgery, objectification and women acting like babies to fulfil certain expectations and make their men feel more manly... in short not very fast really...

About as fast as hem lines are falling, thank you God.
I think those are connected.
