Chapter 958: The Origin of Discrimination
"So, for a woman like me, getting the kind of happy ending you say is the best outcome in the world? If I don't go through these three years, then what will happen to me. Now it has
Three years later, why do you still think that I will still think those things are a good thing for me?"
The smile on Tang Yijiu's face gradually stiffened, but soon, he looked at Ai Luo again with the same pity he had for the poor child, shook his head slowly, and said: "Since you know it yourself, order me to do this
These things are related to the world itself, which means that what you have done has gone against the will of this world. Love... Airl, why do you continue to forcibly disobey the destiny? Just like your name, from your daughter
From the moment you started pretending to be a man, you actually knew from the bottom of your heart that men inherently have more rights than women, right? What you are doing now is no different from banging your head against a wall."
Slowly, Ai Luo exhaled a breath.
He raised his head and looked at the ongoing battle on the field.
Watching the back and forth between the two sides, watching the man-eating whale working hard to maintain the formation and carry out every fight!
Is the former pirate trying to show off to his master?
It's just a pity that his master doesn't care about his fighting at all now.
"Actually, I have been thinking about why the status of our women has been so low since thousands of years ago. Why for so many years, whether it is our country or other countries, as long as it is in any corner of the golden continent, men have been
To be born with more rights than women?”
"I was thinking about it three years ago. During these three years, I have been thinking about it. Now, I have come up with an answer that I can understand."
"Of course, what I said may not be really correct. I just said this, and you have the right to take it as such."
After a slight pause, Ai Luo raised his head again and looked at the battle on the field that seemed to be completely unimportant. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said -
"This should start from the end of the demon war more than 1,300 years ago, right?"
"As far as I know, there are very few records of the Demon War. We modern people have almost no way to know what happened in the Demon War. The only thing we know is probably that after the Demon War, the magic
The power of God began to flow on this golden road. According to the Holy See of Light, this is because after the God of Light defeated the despicable and dirty demons, in order to give us humans the power to protect ourselves, he put the information about magic into
The ability is given to us humans, so that we humans can repopulate the land where everything was destroyed and everything was left in ruins."
"Then, we humans continued to multiply according to the idea of the God of Light. And we also entered the problem I mentioned."
"Why...are girls inherently discriminated against? Why do we women have to be protected by you men?"
"Why? The answer is simple. To reproduce."
Ai Luo exhaled slightly, stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, and continued -
"It is precisely for the purpose of reproduction that gradually the social status of our women will gradually decline."
"Of course, I'm not talking about reproduction itself, but the series of changes that occur after reproduction."
"After a man and a woman get married and become husband and wife, people who originally belonged to two different families are now bound into one. In this way, the young couple must enter either family."
"So, do the husband and wife enter the man's family or the woman's family?"
"Generally speaking, there should be no difference whether you enter a man's family or a woman's family. But in the post-war situation where everything is in dire straits, the most important thing we humans need to do is undoubtedly to expand the population."
"In order to expand the population, some men with a little wealth began to marry multiple female members. And poor and poor women would not mind joining the man's family."
"But on the other hand, it is impossible for a rich and powerful female family to marry multiple men. After all, there is only one belly. Even if you marry a hundred men as husbands, you can only have one child a year. But for men,
It can get a hundred women pregnant a year without any problem."
"In this way, in order to expand the population as quickly as possible, instead of letting the female members of the family marry multiple men, it would be more convenient for the male members of the family to marry multiple women. In this way, over time,
It will naturally form a 'tradition' that a newlywed couple gets married and enters the groom's family directly without any consideration."
Ai Luo squeezed his hand slightly, then loosened it again after a moment, and continued -
"Once such a situation is fixed, it becomes a tradition. And one of the main functions of tradition is to restrain future people from deviating from this tradition."
"However, compared to traditional shackles, there is another more important point that is the key factor that causes our women's social status to gradually become inferior to that of your men."
"In the post-war environment 1,300 years ago, population was undoubtedly the fighting strength of a group. With more people, they could protect their food from being plundered, hunt large monsters, and even attack other animals.
Settlement. In this case, population is the most important factor."
"But after a man and a woman get married, they are destined to join the man's family, which means that there will be one less labor force in the woman's family for no reason."
"This also means that after marriage, the woman's family's labor force weakens. Not only does it not grow, but it is weakened. However, the man's family can gain an additional population because of marriage. No matter what can be done, it can be used to increase the population.
The population and labor force of this family.”
"If these are just objective factors, then what I am thinking about next may really be a subjective factor."
The president put his hands on his knees and looked forward silently, looking at the battle that made people feel cold all over, and continued -
"People will gradually become indifferent."
"We humans are creatures with rich emotions. Such rich emotions allow us humans to form an efficient society, but on the other hand, such efficient emotions are also the weakness of us humans."
"The reason why we have rich emotions is that we are always stimulated by the things around us. When one of us enters another group, he will gradually integrate with this group, and will gradually get closer to this familiar person emotionally.
group."
"But on the contrary, once a woman marries into the man's family, communication with the woman's parents will become increasingly rare."
"With the decrease in communication, feelings are destined to become increasingly thin. Although many people may deny it, I believe this theory is not just made up by me."
He pointed to his forehead, smiled slightly, and said: "Just like me, do I still miss my parents now? Being separated for too long may make the emotional connection more fragile. All the time
In the end, they can even become complete strangers, completely cut off from communication with each other. Even if they can't communicate in one or two years, what about five, ten, or twenty years later? In a family that has not communicated with the woman's family,
In this case, once a married girl encounters a situation where she needs to take sides between her own parents and her husband’s parents, what do you think the woman caught in the middle will choose?"
Ai Luo rubbed his fingers and said slowly——
"I have not investigated the specific situation in detail, and it is actually difficult to find this information. These are just my inferences."
"But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that if a family raises a daughter, and the daughter will leave the family after getting married, she will gradually cut off contact with her natal family, and in the end she may even help her husband seize the opportunity.
If it is their parents’ property, then I am afraid that no pair of parents would want to spend too much energy raising a labor force that is destined to be lost. After all, to the woman’s parents, this girl is completely taking away the family’s food, but in
You can just work and leave home immediately. Giving birth to a girl may not only not get any help, but it may be a money-losing business."
"So, since a girl's parents don't have much goodwill toward girls, how can they get other people to respect women's social status?"
"In this way, discrimination against women gradually spreads from within the family to the outside. Even if there will be many counterexamples in this long and vast ethnic sample, as long as human beings are still so emotional and so skilled
Calculate and weigh the pros and cons, then this kind of discrimination will continue to spread and will not decrease at all."
"Finally, and extending to the present, the discrimination against us women has been put into a shiny and beautiful shell. In turn, in the name of 'protection', 'love', 'respect' and 'care', we women feel
This is actually a very comfortable feeling.”
"In society, you men are treated like ladies and ladies. You show great respect for us. You are willing to help us pull out chairs and spread tablecloths when we eat. You are even willing to pay a certain fee for us to pamper you.
