Who’s Afraid of Sister Hong?

Who’s Afraid of Sister Hong?

Gender, Power, Public Outrage & Hypocrisy

🗣️ A Kasa de Franko Spanish social event

A real-life case that shocked China, went viral—and tells us way too much about the world we live in. At Kasa de Franko, we’re diving into the case that had everyone talking (and judging) — but this time, we’re doing it in Spanish.

🗣️ What to expect?

A guided, no-fluff group conversation where you’ll:

• Practice real, meaningful Spanish
• Learn vocabulary around gender, shame, identity & hypocrisy
• Unpack ideas from Foucault, Butler & others (no PhD required)
• Reflect on why some bodies provoke outrage… and why others get a pass

If you love a bit of scandal, a bit of theory, and a lot of questioning — this is for you. 🌶️ With spicy vocab, real discussion, and deep cultural questions—all in español.

💥 The Case that Broke the Chinese Internet

It all started with a guy in China.
A guy who lived as a woman and called himself Sister Hong (红姐). So far, nothing new.
But when it came out that he had allegedly slept with over 200 men—some say 1,000+—the internet exploded.

Memes. Panic. Headlines screaming.
And soon, the police got involved.

But in the middle of all the chaos, hardly anyone asked:

• What were her true motives?
• Why do societies react so differently to the same issue?
• Why are we laughing so hard?
• Who is actually being punished here?
• What does this say about desire, norms, and our collective fear of the Other?

🧠 Let’s Go Beyond the Scandal!

This isn’t just another “weird news” story.
It’s a chance to explore big ideas—in Spanish, with a small group of curious minds.

At Kasa de Franko, we use cases like this one to spark deep, guided conversation in Spanish around real social issues.

In this event, you’ll:

• Reflect on how societies punish what they can’t understand
• Explore power, shame, and gender norms
• Learn and practice Spanish vocabulary related to identity, scandal, and media outrage
• Connect with others in thoughtful (and often hilarious) discussions

Yes, it’s intellectual. Yes, it’s in Spanish. And yes, it will probably get weird—in a good way.

📖 Let Foucault, Butler, & Other Dangerous Minds…

…Help us figure this out!

Michel Foucault reminded us: no body is ever neutral.
Judith Butler showed us that gender isn’t what we are—it’s what we do.

And Sister Hong? He didn’t just cross a line. He danced on it.

We’ll use their ideas (in simple terms, don’t worry) to unpack this viral scandal and what it tells us about shame, spectacle, and control.

🎯 This Event Is For You If…

• You want to practice Spanish in real, meaningful conversation
• You love language and social theory

• Laughter, discomfort, clarity, and maybe a few existential crises
