Chapter 256: Male Superiority and Female Inferiority
There is bound to be talk among the people about women leaving home to work, or even practicing medicine to save the world, and touching men's bodies.
After all, in the past, women could only attend girls' schools, work in textile factories, farm and raise children.
Now suddenly entering the military camp and examining the men is always unsatisfactory.
There was even more heated discussion during the casual conversation in the tea room.
"The universe has its own destiny. The differences between men and women are determined by the laws of nature. In the past, women lived in the boudoir, embroidering, sewing, supporting their husbands and raising children. This was their duty.
Nowadays, there are women who disregard the constraints of etiquette and go out in public to work shoulder to shoulder with men. This is really unacceptable.
What's more, some people even learn medical skills and use their hands to explore people's skin to cure diseases and save lives.
Doesn't this kind of behavior mess up yin and yang and go against our ancestors' teachings? Women should prioritize morality and conduct, adhering to the code of conduct for women. How can they step into a man's territory and engage in such immoral behavior?
"Yes, yes!" The men in the tea room nodded in agreement.
At this time, a woman stood up.
“The old man’s remarks are rather biased.
Why can’t women go out to work, or even practice medicine to save lives?
All beings are equal, men and women are equal.
Even if a woman has a heart to save the world, there is no distinction between medical skills and gender as long as she has a heart to save lives.
If I acquire superb medical skills, I will use them to serve the people and make it my duty to heal and save lives. Why would I shrink back because of the difference between men and women?"
The person who stood up was the daughter of the envoy, Ke Yan.
Even after recognizing her identity, the man continued, "Since it's said that all beings are equal, regardless of gender, why do we have temples for men and nunneries for women? Isn't that a contradiction?"
"Yes, yes!" Many men nodded in agreement.
In their opinion, physical contact between women and men outside the family is really unsightly.
Although there were some objections to girls' schools and women working in the past, they were not widespread.
This time, the unmarried woman inspected the man's body...
Ke Yan was not afraid of the looks others gave her.
"Men and women in this world are all born from the heart, and there is no difference. The way of equality is not only in form, but also in the heart. Men and women all have Buddha nature, and all can practice enlightenment and achieve Bodhi.
Gender differences are merely superficial phenomena. Compassion and compassion for the world should not be hindered by gender.
In Buddhism, it is said that all beings are equal, meaning that all living beings in the world, regardless of their form, status, or level of wisdom, possess the same Buddha nature and should not be treated differently.
Someone snorted and stood up, "Since there is a distinction between heaven and earth, yin and yang, and heaven and earth, and men are superior to women, how can we disrupt the moral principles?"
The woman said that Buddhism talks about the mind and form, not the external things.
The man said that heaven and earth are divided, and there are also divisions in form.
"Miss, that is the daughter of the envoy." Qing Ning said to Su Shengsheng, who had not been to the tea room for a long time.
I watched as a group of people discussed everything from men and women working in the industry to Buddhism and then to the debate on the origin of the universe.
I'm afraid it will soon be time for the Emperor's Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues.
I heard that men use the distinction between heaven and earth, yin and yang, heaven and earth to try to deny the equality of all beings and to establish the theory of male superiority and female inferiority.
Ke Yan continued to refute with measured tone, "The distinction between heaven and earth, the difference between yin and yang, the difference between heaven and earth, is the natural law of the universe, not the basis for the superiority or inferiority of men and women. Men and women are all created by heaven and earth, born from the harmony of yin and yang, and nurtured by the operation of heaven and earth. How can there be a distinction between superiority and inferiority?
The old man has deviated from the true meaning of Buddhism. Equality between men and women is the will of heaven and human nature, and cannot be explained by such fallacies."
Seeing the situation outside becoming tense, Qing Ning couldn't help but worry, "Miss, aren't you going out to help Miss Ke?"
Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
Everyone thinks that their logic is the only one that is in line with the truth and is the most correct.
In fact, even if this matter was not truly realized in the previous life, it was just no longer spoken of.
Maslow once proposed a five-level pyramid of needs.
Above physiological, safety, social, and respect needs is self-actualization.
Now that Nanling has barely passed the poverty line, it has developed to the highest level, which is also an unexpected surprise.
Although she did not specifically advocate for gender equality, she did hope that women would have the same education and opportunities for survival.
Whatever you want, just fight for it.
Hearing the quarrel between the men's team and the women's team, Su Shengsheng, as the owner of the teahouse, had to step in to mediate.
"Greetings, Princess..."
"Meet the princess..."
She hadn't been seen for quite some time, so everyone thought that since the argument was so intense and no one came out, they thought she was not in the tea room.
I was startled when I suddenly saw her coming out of the inner room.
Some men who had just argued with women from the business school greeted with an awkward look on their faces.
The princess did not call out: "You all pay homage to me today, not because I am who I am, but because I hold the position of princess.
Everyone knows that I am a woman, but they still bow to me, not to show respect to me, but to show respect to the prince and the power behind me.
This is exactly the divisiveness of the world, where people are judged by their status and position, rather than by their character and moral character.
If we talk about the superiority of heaven and the inferiority of earth, we should ignore gender, power, and status. Since you divide people by power, how can you say that men are superior to women?
She slowly walked to the center and looked at the few people who did not refute.
"Men and women are both born from heaven and earth, with yin and yang in harmony, nurtured by the universe. The laws of nature cycle, endless life, and men and women are both indispensable links in it. The distinction between men and women is nothing more than the world's discriminatory mindset.
Everything in the world has its own reason and emotion.
Gender equality is not only reasonable to talk about, but also needs to be put into practice.
I hope you can abandon prejudice and uphold equality.”
The men's faces froze, but before they could say anything, Su Shengsheng continued, "Since you weren't bowing to me, you don't have to bow to me when you see me in the future."
?
The men dared not breathe and only felt their lips numb.
Everyone knows that King Xuanming has been searching the entire city these days. If they see her not bowing and looking unhappy, wouldn't they be courting death?
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
Su Shengsheng had already turned her gaze away. "Ms. Ke, could you please come in and talk?"
Ke Yan was stunned by her few words and his expression relaxed. When he heard her invite him to the inner room, he immediately bowed.
Everyone saw Su Shengsheng walking by in a gorgeous long dress.
The skirt was embroidered with lotus flowers, which was exquisite and elegant.
The hem of the skirt sways gently in the wind, like a lotus slowly blooming in the water, showing the woman's softness and agility.
Only a woman like this can conquer that man, right?
Everyone in the world knows that the princess is in danger, and it is more difficult to see her now than to see the emperor.
Just because the Nanling God of War is guarding it.
It continues non-stop for twelve hours at night.
Perhaps the person was not far away at this moment, so the few of them quickly fell silent.
Compared to this princess who broke the social class system of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans and stirred up the world, they hated the evil spirit more.
That person is a unreasonable person.
There is only a distinction between the dead and the living...
In the private tea room
Su Shengsheng led Ke Yan to a seat and personally made tea for her. "Miss Ke, is there anything you need?"
The fourth sister said that Ke Yan always wanted to see her.
However, when she went to the charity dinner, Ke Yan did not show up.
Today, the two officially met.
"My father forced me to get married..." Ke Yan looked a little restrained, helpless and no longer had the momentum she had just now.
It seems like I am full of enthusiasm but have nowhere to express it.
