Why it never ends

Chapter 908 Imagination

"A woman must constantly weigh the gains and losses, and constantly 'give and take,' before she can stand on the starting line of men. Do you call this equality? How can a man naturally work and let his partner work for him at the same time?" He gives birth without having to bear the interruption of his career and the damage of childbirth?”

"Yes, this kind of thing is really annoying...but what's the point of discussing this kind of issue? Even if you question it a thousand times, a uterus can't grow in a man's belly. He gave birth before the advent of artificial uterus. The risk will only fall on women. Instead of worrying about things that cannot be changed at all, why can't we spend our energy on places where change is more likely to occur? Now some women choose to break through the shackles and take back the rights that originally belonged to men. We have to criticize them for not doing enough, saying that the equality they get is not enough - what is the difference between doing this and suppressing their men? , don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

"Are we ridiculous, or does your imagination of equality only stop here? If the entire team is heading in the wrong direction, the further they go and the deeper they explore, the more energy they waste. A woman, if she When pursuing her own rights and interests, if she only dares to set her goal to be 'like a man', then she will never be able to achieve her goal, because in the final analysis, she is not a man, even if she cuts off her feet and transforms herself into one that looks like a man. "

The man was about to retort when Lin Jiao continued speaking. To everyone's surprise, Lin Jiao's voice was surprisingly calm. She looked at the person in front of her and her voice could even be considered gentle.

"Do you know what's more ridiculous? If you live in a world where women have to cover their faces when going out, can't go to school, can't go to the hospital, can't find a job, can't get married until they are 13 or 14 years old, and don't even have basic contraceptive measures. In a place where there is no guarantee and you can only continue to have children until menopause, if you say, 'I want the same rights as men,' I will only respect you, love you, approve of you, and follow you; but you live in the 14th District now. Women once had many rights in law, and in principle enjoyed the freedom to marry, divorce and have abortions... What happens now?

"Going back a hundred years, what did the people who took to the streets shout and pursue? How much of the ideals they realized with their blood and sweat are left today? I also ask you to ask for help. You, really ask yourself a question: do you want to join the fight for the rights of all women, or do you just want to hide in a safe cocoon and find a group of friendly friends to play a game of house together? game?"

"...I didn't ask that we must be in harmony," the girl whispered, "but..."

"How about first imagining a world like this." Lin Jiao said, "In this world, we generally call short-sighted and stupid ideas 'men's opinions', and unprincipled tolerance and forgiveness are called 'men's opinions'." "Benevolence", but this does not prevent us from setting up several festivals for men. Every few days, we give a thumbs up to all men, tell them well, and remind them, "You can do anything." Become anyone' lest they forget that."

A burst of understanding laughter filled the room.

"On an ordinary evening, an ordinary woman walked into the bookstore. This woman was a photographer and wanted to choose a gift for her nephew who also loved photography. So the clerk recommended to her a set of 32 volumes of Fourteen District Photography Master Series.

"The first 29 volumes of this series introduce 29 photographers with important positions in history. The book describes in detail the childhood lives, teenage experiences, work characteristics and style changes of 3 women in different periods. The last three volumes specifically included a dozen male photographers and their representative works, which were very balanced and comprehensive. She was very satisfied after hearing this and placed an order on the spot.

"After flipping through the book, my nephew asked her very confusedly and carefully, 'Are men not suitable to be photographers?' After hearing this, the woman was very emotional and answered firmly: How could that be? You are The cutest boy in the world, as long as you are careful, patient, have a pair of eyes that are good at capturing beauty, and are resilient and good at perseverance, you can certainly become a good photographer. Don’t forget, a man can be anyone!

“Then, the woman encouraged her nephew to write to the publisher, asking why there were so few parts about male photographers in this series of books. The publisher quickly responded: Dear kid, I’m sorry to give you such worry, but Please also understand that when we compiled this series of books, we only considered the quality of the works and did not consider any other factors. But you don’t have to worry, this series of books compiles the past and it cannot explain anything. We hope for the future. You can be a great photographer, so we can include your work! Come on, you can be anyone!

"After completing everything, my nephew was greatly encouraged. Whenever people around him told him that photographers were a woman's profession, he would think of his aunt's teachings: as long as he is careful, patient, has a pair of eyes good at capturing beauty, and has resilience, If he is good at perseverance, he will definitely become an excellent photographer.

"Years later, after many hardships, he was finally able to establish himself in the industry with his works. At this time, his sisters, who were more than ten years younger than him, also showed a strong interest in photography, so the family invited His aunt came over for a visit. During the dinner, his sisters were as passionate about photography as he was back then, but they were also timid. He was about to pat his sisters on the shoulders like he did back then, and said, "Please be careful." Patience... I heard my aunt laughing: 'Why are you so timid? You are menstruating women, what can you do?'"

The laughter in the room became even louder, and the man who had been arguing with Lin Jiao also started laughing and shook his head helplessly.

"In that world," Lin Jiao turned to her again, "can you imagine how popular you would be?"

"...What?" The girl didn't understand.

"You say now that you want gender equality and that everyone can be free to be themselves. What will be the result? Men are too lazy to listen to what you have to say, and women dislike you for talking useless nonsense. But when that time comes, you can stand up If you say that the world is so unfriendly to men, we should strive to create a gender-equal society - how many men will come to support you with tears in their eyes, praise you, and tell you their true feelings? "
