One of the reasons she resolutely left the Western Realm and returned to the Celestial Realm was that the education she received in the Western Realm made her feel that the feudal ideology of valuing sons over daughters was too serious in the Celestial Realm, especially in the Heavenly Court. She was determined to come here to change this bad habit in the Heavenly Court.
After arriving in Heaven, she discovered that the patriarchal system there was indeed very serious. Of course, this seriousness wasn't outwardly apparent, since everyone was an immortal, and regardless of gender, who was easy to get along with? In fact, Heaven had been promoting and implementing gender equality much earlier and more thoroughly than the human world.
However, almost all immortals came from mortals in the past, and their ideas of male superiority and female inferiority were deeply influenced by the human world. Look at the immortals with decision-making power in the Heavenly Court today, how many of them are female immortals? Don't even mention that you are an outstanding female immortal, you are only a deputy director in the Heavenly Court.
Even the great-grandmother Ruoli Yuanjun, how could she possibly have a say in the affairs of the Heavenly Court? And what about the old fairies like the Queen Mother of the West and Bixia Yuanjun, whom even the Heavenly Emperor treats with utmost respect? They don't care about Heavenly Court policies at all; they just stay in their old fairy academy when they have nothing to do.
They're incredibly enthusiastic about organizing fairy fashion contests and singing competitions, and they spend all their time fooling around with those old male immortals. When it comes to serious matters, not one of them is willing to chime in. Ruoli Yuanjun even shared this kind of wisdom with Caixia...
"For us women, taking good care of our own families is success. As for the Heavenly Court, let those big men worry about that. Why should we meddle in their affairs? For women, finding a good man and having a good family is more important than anything else!"
Listen to this! What kind of talk is this? It's so feudal! Caixia was stunned. This only strengthened her resolve to completely change the feudalistic patriarchal ideology of the Heavenly Court. What's wrong with fairies? As long as they have the ability, it's only natural for a fairy to become the Heavenly Emperor!
She felt that the root of the problem of male chauvinism in Heaven lay with the fairies themselves; the saying "pity their misfortune and anger at their lack of resistance" applied to this very situation. Take Chang'e, for example, how privileged she was!
She has the qualifications and the ability; she manages the Guanghan Palace perfectly. Managing a bureau-level unit in the Heavenly Court is no problem for her. But Chang'e is unwilling to participate in politics. If she hadn't left the system and hadn't had to hand over the Guanghan Palace, she would have resigned long ago.
