Chapter 499 Awakening
"So, is it so important to have a boy?"
The idea of favoring sons over daughters has been deeply poisoned by the pedantic idea of favoring sons over daughters in my country for thousands of years.
Preferring sons over daughters is a social concept of inequality between men and women, which emphasizes the rights and interests of men and defines women as appendages of men.
Social competition is cruel and follows the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. Whoever is strong has the right to speak and the right to decide.
In the family, parents believe that daughters are inferior to boys. In order to maximize family interests, they will make choices that seek benefits and avoid harm.
Sons are often viewed as tools for carrying on the family line and providing for the elderly, while daughters may be viewed as means to achieve these goals, such as through marriage exchange.
The parents must have a boy, thinking that having a girl means raising her for others. Not only do the parents have to leave all their earnings to their son, but the daughter also has to support the son.
The concepts of "marrying" and "taking part in marriage" are inherently unequal.
In society, most women “marrying” men is gender inequality.
In fact, when a family has a son, they will be filled with joy and celebration. The more sons a family has, the stronger their family will be.
If a family does not have a son, not only will they lose face, but they will also be laughed at and looked down upon by others. They will also be in a weak position when competing for interests.
People pursue many children, a prosperous family, and a large family.
A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Once married, she belongs to someone else's family. Parents believe that this is the biggest "risk" of raising a daughter and that it is a "losing business."
The emergence of high-priced bride prices gives people the feeling that they are "selling their daughters", because their daughters will live with other families and take care of others in the future, and their own interests will be damaged.
In the eyes of parents, only sons are always their own. They give birth to children, carry on the family line, carry on the family line, and even make the family prosperous and bring honor to the ancestors.
When a daughter gets married and gives birth to a grandson, he is born for another family.
Parents favor sons over daughters, are harsh to daughters and dote on sons. Daughters who lack love will easily try to please their parents to gain their love. The crueler the parents are to their daughters, the more they will try to make their parents pay attention to them by treating them better. Then they will be controlled by their parents and used to support their sons.
The parents will also use moral blackmail to say that their daughter is ungrateful and an ungrateful person, and even go to complain to relatives, leaving their daughter isolated and helpless. Most relatives will also stand on the parents' side and say that their daughter does not know how to repay kindness.
"Male blood is more valuable than female blood..."
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. My son is the apple of my eye, but my daughter..."
Gu Lixia read a news report about a girl who grew up in a family that favored boys over girls. Almost all the family resources were tilted towards her younger brother.
Whether it is a schoolbag or a piece of clothing when you were a child, or reading when you grow up.
"Even though you're my daughter, I've never treated you unfairly since you were little. I treat you and your brother equally."
When the girl was still young and ignorant, she took her mother's repeated emphasis on her as the truth, believing that it was her duty to help her brother because she was the older sister and that was what she should do.
The excitement when her younger brother was born, the buffet, the compliments from relatives and friends, her mother was praised as a rare talent, and she was able to hold her head high in her husband's family. From then on, she dared to walk with her head held high.
