By Jason Pan / Staff reporterMembers of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday accused former premier Simon Chang (張善政) of discriminating against women, while the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) vice presidential candidate said that his words had been misconstrued. “I am a woman who is not married and does not have children, which some have made into a big issue,” Tsai wrote on Facebook. “Looking back to when Chang was premier, what did he do for our children?” she asked. DPP Legislator Lin Ching-yu (林靜儀), an obstetrician and gynecologist, said that people must not use sex and physiology as criteria when choosing a president. “I have not seen clean campaigning, because the DPP has no achievements to tout, so it is resorting to negative tactics.”Additional reporting by Shih Hsiao-guang
