808, Friends of Women
"And if I let women come out and do things, it means a lot to women too!" Jingwen said.
Liu Qing asked, "What's the point?" â
Jingwen didn't answer directly, but just said: "Why do you have a very low status of women since ancient times, and you have to rely on your husband's opinions, and it is almost difficult to have your own opinions in the family." And the so-called heads of the family are all men, even if there are a small number of men who are so-called fearful, it is only a small number. So, women have never had any status in our country, you should all recognize it, right? But do you know why? Why is the status of women so low? Have you thought about it? â
And when these two beauties heard this, they were also embarrassed, after all, they are both women, of course they know that the status of women in this era is very low. However, they don't know what the specific reason is, they seem to be born with a low status of women. And they never thought about why this is so, why women are inherently inferior? Although I am afraid that many women have had this idea, they have never imagined the essentials, so many women can't figure it out.
"Husband, why? Do you know? Liu Qing asked.
And Jingwen easily replied immediately, saying: "It's very simple, because it is difficult for women to create economic value!" â
"Economic value?" Liu Qing didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
"For example, if we need to grow food for a living, then we must need to plow the fields! Can women plow the fields? Jingwen asked.
And Liu Qing quickly said: "Maybe I can, but I'm afraid the efficiency is very low, and the body is more than a step worse than that of men." â
"You see, women's ability to cultivate the fields is very poor, so they can't create much economic value. And if you want to say that cutting wood and hunting, it is all hard work, so it also causes women to be unable to create zĂ o economic value. And we human beings have come from ancient times to the present day, and most of the work needs to be completed. Even if a small number of people do not need the management of the body, because of the patrilineal clan system left over from antiquity, they have all survived. Therefore, because women are not able to create economic value, they are discriminated against. â
And because they can't create economic value, they are forced to rely on their fathers and husbands to live. For example, Miss Cui, if you left the Cui family back then, would you be able to live on your own? If you leave the Cui family, do you think you will still be able to get a life of fine clothes and food? So. It is precisely because you can't get it that the Cui family has the freedom to let you marry whoever they want. This is the reason why you do not have your own independent economic rights, which is why you cannot attain true dignity and status. â
Jingwen explained to the two beauties the core of the low status of women in ancient times, in fact, because they had no independent economic rights, and they all relied on their fathers and husbands to support them, which caused them to be unable to get rid of the shadow of their fathers and husbands. Cui Ying was almost sent by the Cui family to the Lu family to marry at that time, that is, because Cui Ying did not have her own independent economic strength, which caused them to be unable to obtain status. Of course. It is also because women have not occupied the main advantage in production and life for a long time, so a consciousness has been formed, which makes women discriminate in society.
This is something that almost many people in later generations understand. This is a long-term thinking brought about by economic reasons. It is not so easy to correct it, after all, the patriarchal society has lasted for countless years from ancient times to the present, where can it be changed casually? Even in the Hereafter. No, that's not the case.
"Two beautiful women, so you should know what I mean by making this garment factory for women, right? What I mean by this is that women can have their own jobs and their own independent income. In this way, they do not need to rely on their husband's support to survive, so that they can have a higher status in the family! Although there is no front-line production occupation suitable for women at present, there are no conditions for us to create conditions, and if there are no suitable positions, we can create suitable positions. Isn't this garment manufacturing industry a suitable industry, so that those women can have a certain economic income, so that their status will be greatly improved, and they don't have to worry about being discriminated against by their families. Jingwen said.
In fact, the social division of labor in this era is not so fine, and the vast majority of occupations need to be completed, so women who do not have the main advantage of the body will not be able to create too much economic value. It is only in the later era, when the social division of labor is more refined, that women will be able to gradually achieve equitable employment. However, Jingwen can also create a textile industry, so that women can also have a suitable career for themselves.
But Liu Qing asked: "Husband, aren't you improving the status of women in this way?" That's not ...... for you as a man."
"Hehe, the status of women is rising, it's my business." Jingwen snorted.
Of course, Jingwen knows that the things that improve the status of women are so simple. I'm afraid this process will take at least a thousand years of evolution, even if there is Jingwen as a traverser, more than five hundred years are indispensable. Therefore, as for if men and women can really be equal after five hundred years, this is not about Jingwen, at that time, Jingwen may have already "become an immortal". Anyway, as long as Jingwen knows that when he is alive, he can enjoy three wives and four concubines, and the beauty is inexhaustible. As for future generations, women are equal, and maybe there will be something like true absolute monogamy at that time, which has nothing to do with Jingwen.
Therefore, Jingwen made a start at most, and after that, they did things by themselves. And Jingwen only needs to provide jobs for some women, and then they can get economic benefits, then their status in the family will improve a lot, and this is like a seed, and there will definitely be many people eyeing women's labor force in the future. Originally, they couldn't think of it, but as long as Jingwen started, could they not think of it? As for exploitation, this is certainly inevitable. At the beginning, women will inevitably be discriminated against, after all, the promotion of women's status is a long-term thing, where is achieved overnight. But as long as women can make a profit, that's a good start.
"Husband, you are really a friend of women!" Jingwen said.
ââŚâŚâ
Jingwen didn't expect that he would become a so-called friend of women, which was too speechless. However, Jingwen also accepted this statement, after all, this is not a derogatory thing in the later generations, but a kind of glory! (To be continued......)
