808. Friends of Women

"And if I let women come out to do things, it will also have very important significance for women!" Jing Wen said.

Liu Qing asked, "What's the point?"

Jing Wen did not directly answer, just said: "Why have women's status been very low since ancient times? Everything is based on the opinions of their husbands, and it is almost difficult to have their own opinions in the family. The so-called heads of the family are men. Even if there are a small number of men who say they are afraid of the inside, it is just a small number. Therefore, women have never had any status in our country, and you should all agree with it? But do you know why this is? Why is women so low in status? Have you ever thought about it?"

When these two beauties heard this, they sighed. After all, they are both women. Of course they know that women have a low status in this era. However, they don’t know the specific reason. They seem to be born with a low status. And they have never thought about why this is the case and why women are born with a low status? Although many women probably have this idea, they have never imagined it, so many women can’t understand it.

"Why are you husband? Do you know?" Liu Qing asked.

Jing Wen easily answered immediately, saying: "It's very simple, because it's difficult for women to create economic value!"

"Economic value?" Liu Qing didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

"For example, we need to make a living by growing food, so we must have to plow the fields! Can women plow the fields?" Jing Wen asked.

Liu Qing quickly said: "Maybe, but I'm afraid the efficiency is very low, and his physical strength is more than better than that of men."

"You see, women have poor ability to plow the fields, so they cannot create too much economic value. If we want to say chopping wood and hunting, it is all about strength, so it causes women to be unable to create economic value. As we humans have gone from ancient times to today, most of the work requires physical strength. Even a small number of management work that does not require physical strength is still the patriarchal clan system left over from ancient times. Therefore, because women cannot create economic value, they are discriminated against."

"And because they cannot create economic value, they are forced to live by their fathers and husbands. For example, if you left the Cui family, would you be able to live by yourself? If you left the Cui family, do you think you can still get a life of luxury? So, because you cannot get it, the Cui family has mastered all your freedom and can marry anyone you want. This is because you do not have your own independent economic rights, which will cause you to not be able to gain true dignity and status."

Jing Wen explained to the two beauties the core of the low status of ancient women. In fact, it was because they did not have independent economic rights and everything was supported by their fathers and husbands, which caused them to be unable to get rid of the shadow of their fathers and husbands. Cui Ying was almost sent to the Lu family by the Cui family to marry, because Cui Ying did not have his own independent economic strength, which made them unable to gain status. Of course, because women have not had the main advantage in production and life for a long time, they have formed a consciousness that has made society discriminate against women.

Almost many people in later generations understand this. 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, so how can it be changed casually? Even in later generations, isn't it the same.

"Two beauties, so you should know what I mean by setting up this garment factory to give women, right? What I mean is that women can have their own jobs and have their own independent income. In this way, they do not need to rely on the support of their husbands to survive, and in this way they can have a higher status in the family! Although there is no front-line production job suitable for women at present, we can create conditions without conditions. Without suitable positions, we can create suitable positions. This garment manufacturing industry is not a suitable industry, which specifically allows those women to have a certain economic income, so that their status will be greatly improved, and there is no need to worry about being discriminated against by their families." Jing Wen said.

In fact, the social division of labor in this era was not so fine. Most occupations required physical strength to complete, so women who did not have the main advantage in physical strength could not create too much economic value. Only in the era when social division of labor in later generations was more refined could women gradually find employment fairly. However, Jingwen could also create the textile industry, so that women could also have a career that suits them.

But Liu Qing asked: "Husband, then aren't you improving the status of a woman like this? Then this is not for you, a man..."

"Hehe, it's all my business to improve women's status." Jing Wen snorted.

Of course, Jing Wen knew that it was not so simple to improve the status of women. This process would probably take at least a thousand years of evolution. Even if Jing Wen was a time traveler, it would be indispensable for more than five hundred years. Therefore, as for the fact that if men and women were really equal in five hundred years, it would not be related to Jing Wen. At that time, Jing Wen would have long been "turned into an immortal". Anyway, Jing Wen only had to know that he could enjoy three wives and four concubines when he was alive, and that the beauty could be incredibly prosperous and wealthy. As for later generations, women's equality, perhaps the real and absolute monogamy and other things would have nothing to do with Jing Wen.

So, Jingwen only started one start, and then they did things themselves. Jingwen only needed to provide some women with jobs, and then they could get economic benefits, so their status in the family would be greatly improved. This is like a seed, and many people would definitely focus on the labor force of women in the future. They could not have thought of it, but as long as Jingwen started, would they not have thought of it? As for the issue of exploitation, this is definitely inevitable. At the beginning, women were inevitably discriminated against. After all, improving the status of women is a long-term thing, and it cannot be achieved overnight. However, as long as women can get profits, it is a good start.

"Husband, you are really a friend of women!" Jing Wen said.

“…”

Jing Wen did not expect that he had become the so-called friend of women, which was too speechless. However, Jing Wen accepted this statement. After all, this is not a belittlement in later generations, but rather a kind of honor! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
