based upon a case study of a military-dependents'village (Jyuancun) in Taichung City, this paper demonstrates the ways in which men discuss and evaluate women according to their gendered, and at time, class interests. It aims at elaborating the discursive basis of patriarchal domination of women in every day life. The most important finding of this paper, however, is that the processes in the pursuit of a new national (or quasi-national) identity by some members of a male age-group ("the latter half of the second generation mainlanders") who are conditioned by a certain class mobility anxiety entail discursive and symbolic discrimination against their female counterpart. Female thus becomes the sacrifice of male's identity politics.
