Nearly all men and women polled agreed that women should be equal with men. More than 90 percent of respondents said they were opposed to men perpetrating violence against their partners.
However, the survey also reflected wide tolerance of men's privileges.
Some 72 percent of men and 61 percent of women polled said they believe men should have a bigger voice than women in major decisions.
About 73 percent of men and 55 percent of women respondents agreed that men should be tough.
Half of men and one-fifth of women supported the idea that men can use violence to defend their reputation.
More than half of respondents felt that men need sex more than women.
"The widely accepted norms about masculinity are a major driving force for the prevalence of domestic violence against women," said Wang, the sociologist.
"It's pointless to talk about the abstract idea of gender equality if we don't eliminate the prejudice that is accepted by individuals, communities and even the whole society," she said.
