How it's used
Academic and political discussions in Hong Kong often use this term directly, though it can sound quite formal in casual social settings. When discussing gender equality in everyday life, people are more likely to use phrases like 男女平等 or 爭取平權 rather than the full academic label. It is frequently used in university discourse or when analyzing media representations of gender roles.
