A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Lu Jianan was still indignant.

"How annoying, he just took your money like that."

"It's nothing," Bi Shen replied, his hands still typing on the screen.

"But I'm so angry, damn it! I feel like giving him the money is worse than feeding a dog. Fifty thousand can buy fifty moonshine fruits." Lu Jianan said with disgust.

"Hmm." Bishon tapped the screen a few more times, then stopped.

Lu Jianan: "Big brother, what are you doing?"

"My money isn't so easy to take," Bishen sneered. "I'll have my men put a sack over his head, beat him up, and then throw him into the law enforcement team."

These male insects are professional extortionists, specializing in extorting money from female insects in tourist destinations with large insect populations.

The law enforcement teams on all the major tourist planets are well aware of this.

Even tourist planets need to maintain a good image. If a male insect is caught repeatedly, he will be expelled from the planet and barred from future visits. Even in egregious cases... there's not much that can be done. Detention is out of the question, fines are out of the question, and the Male Protection Association will wail and complain that you've been wronged, that it's all their fault... after all, male insects are precious.

So just put him in a sack and beat him up, simple and easy.

Thinking you can extort money from him and run away? No way! You'll have to be thrown over to the law enforcement team and deported.

"Yay! Big brother!" Lu Jianan was happy again.

Ugh, Liernia's gender system is infuriating.

Luckily, our eldest brother is awesome, otherwise he would have been successfully blackmailed by this male insect.

Lu Jianan has become Little Lu (Happy Puppy Version) again.

But his happiness lasted only a short while before his mood suddenly plummeted again.

"What's wrong?" Bi Shen asked him.

Lu Jianan looked up at him, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes: "Brother, so here, male insects have such a high status, and female insects have such a low status?"

Bi Shen nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong?"

"Then let's go sue the beauty bees... the beauty bees..." Lu Jianan stammered, "Weren't they also in a low position before? If the female bees live such a difficult life, shouldn't we let them off the hook?"

He has now truly come to see the imbalance between male and female in Zerg society.

I just feel like it's a bit...

It's a bit tense. If a female insect touches a male insect, she will be caught and locked up.

The male wasp already has such a high status, and the female wasp has such a low status. Suddenly, it feels like the beauty wasp has gone from being a perpetrator to a victim.

If they then sue the bees, won't the female bee's position become even worse?

Bishen glanced at him, sighed, and wiped his face.

A bit clumsy.

It's a good thing that the little idiot sympathizes with the female insect, but unfortunately he's not very smart.

"Why did you decide to sue the Beauty Bee family?"

Lu Jianan hesitated for a moment: "Hmm, they're colluding with space pirates to buy and sell people?"

"Who are you?"

"Am I a human being bought and sold...?"

"You, a victim of human trafficking, are you sympathizing with the person who trafficked you?"

"......oh!"

"Similarly, I sued the bee colony because I was almost blown up by them. Just because they're pitiful, does that mean you deserved to be kidnapped by them and I deserved to be blown up? We sued the bee colony because they did something wrong, not because they're females. Those are two different things."

"But the female insects have such a low status..."

"Just because some female bees are pitiful doesn't mean that the bee family's human trafficking and harm to other insects should be forgiven, right? Do you think your logic is correct?"

"Emm..."

"Just because some males are arrogant and domineering, does that mean other males should be abducted and harmed? Can you guarantee that those who are abducted deserve to be abducted? You almost got bought by them, did you deserve it?"

Lu Jianan covered her mouth: "I didn't."

"If you still can't understand, try looking at it from a different perspective. If our empire were egalitarian, would the Beauty Bee family be able to get away with doing something like this without being punished?"

Bishon, looking straight ahead as he piloted the aircraft, said, "Their punishment has nothing to do with equality or gender. It's all the same. They committed crimes, and whoever commits a crime should be punished. Don't pity criminals out of pity."

Justice is not a choice. We cannot forgive the tragedy caused by B simply because we see the misfortune of A.

The law is applied to individuals, not groups; every group has both good and bad individuals.

The case of Kelleher and Corwin was such a big deal, but there are bound to be good male insects and bad female insects; generalizations cannot be made.

As I said before, whoever commits a crime should be punished.

To establish a good social order, the first principle is that everyone is equal before the law.

Let the little idiot start by understanding the complexity of society.

For example, understanding that a society can simultaneously have groups that need protection and criminals that must be severely punished.

"I understand," Lu Jianan finally said, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of the data panel as she muttered, "Actually, I didn't feel sorry for the beauty bee, it's just... it's just that seeing the way that female was oppressed, the difference in status between males and females here, was too much of a shock to me, and it made me uncomfortable."

Bi Shen's expression softened slightly.

This little idiot is really good at acting cute.

He slightly curved the corners of his mouth, turned around, and steered the spaceship forward.

Human gender awareness is really interesting.

When faced with certain situations, their gender is diminished; they are neither male nor female, but simply one person.

The males in Lyrnia only care about their own sex and want the males to have the highest status in the group.

If most male Zerglings could learn to be better than just males, their Zergling social system wouldn't be what it is today.

Lu Jianan picked at the edge of the data board again.

The situation in the Liernia Empire is too complicated for someone like him who lacks a broad perspective to handle.

Anyway, the eldest brother is definitely right.

Following the eldest brother is the right thing to do!

......

Before their aircraft had even left the market area, a loud bell suddenly rang throughout the entire market.

The voice was deep and resonant, as if it came from the depths of the earth, with a strong penetrating power that resonated slightly in people's blood vessels.

All the insects in the market stopped what they were doing.

Hundreds of faces looked up at the sky at the same time.

A giant screen unfolded in the sky, spreading from east to west like ripples on water, eventually covering the entire sky above the market.

"Big brother, what is this?" Lu Jianan asked in a low voice.

Bishen didn't answer him; he just stared at the big screen.

A giant holographic projection unfolds in the sky.

[Final Results of the Referendum]

[The bill to repeal the Privileges Act for Overlords: 91% approval rate]

Based on the results of the national referendum, the "Privileges of the Sovereign" Act is hereby repealed, effective immediately.

Effective immediately

The specific terms and conditions are displayed scrolling below the projection:

The system of damage compensation for contact injuries is abolished, but compensation for injuries remains valid, though law enforcement agencies must determine whether injury has occurred.

The sacred prohibition on marriage was lifted, the principle of equality in marriage was established, and freedom to divorce was permitted.

......

Bodily harm is illegal.

The clause prohibiting female insects from owning private property should be abolished.

General Kelley and male insect Corwin Alter have officially divorced.

The male insect, Corwin Alter, has been sanctioned and will face huge compensation payments to General Kelley and more than fifty years in prison.

"It really passed," Bishon said softly.

"what?"

"It might not be as unfair as you think."

Lu Jianan couldn't understand the words on the screen, so Bi Shen explained them to him:

Males and females are now basically equal under the law, meaning male insects can no longer legally harm female insects.

The incidents on the street will never happen again. If a male insect is injured, it can call the police to arrest the female insect, and if a female insect is injured, it can also call the police to arrest the male insect.
