Chapter 168: Is it an overcorrection?



They handcuffed the male boss and read out the charge: "Verbal discrimination against women, punished with one day of education at an equal rights school."

The male boss already knew where he had gone wrong, so he could only sigh softly, offer no explanation, and leave with the couple.

Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai happened to see this scene when they came out of the kitchen.

The two looked at each other, both utterly puzzled.

The audience was also full of questions, not understanding how the boss had discriminated against women.

Jian Zhizhen simply went directly to ask the female boss, "Boss, why was the other boss arrested?"

The female boss sighed softly: "Because I praised you, saying, 'You're a woman, and you can even fix a gas stove,' that's verbal discrimination against women, so you're being taken away for re-education."

Many viewers didn't expect that line at first.

Now, looking at it separately and appreciating it closely, it does indeed have that flavor:

[Wan Shenghai: The laws of this world are a bit harsh... but I can understand the sentiment, "It's really not easy for a woman like you to achieve this." — This statement subconsciously implies that women are inferior to men. Over time, this kind of suggestion will lead some women to be tamed without realizing it: "I'm not a man, it's normal for me not to do well." Then women will become less and less motivated, and the gender gap in society will widen.]

[Su Changzhao: Think about it carefully. When the male boss asked Zhenzhen, "Are you capable?" that was a normal question. But if he had asked, "Are you capable as a woman?" that would be discrimination.]

[Gongsun Sishu: Got it... My god, this is really hard to realize! Sometimes I'll compliment female classmates, saying things like, "You're such a girl and you're so good at physics, that's amazing!" I didn't realize it had this kind of meaning. I'll definitely change it next time TAT.]

[Bu Xiangdong: But women in the past really had it tough; it was incredibly difficult for them to do the same things as men. Like Mulan, in such a harsh environment, she had to impersonate a man to protect her country and family, risking execution for deceiving the emperor. So praising her, saying "It's truly remarkable for a woman to achieve that," is genuine praise.]

[Yu Luo: We don't need to go back to ancient times; even two hundred years ago, the environment was very unfriendly to women. Women's education and employment rates were very low, and decades before that, during the one-child policy era, female infant survival rates were low. For them to carve out a niche for themselves under such conditions is truly remarkable! They deserve praise! Lots of praise!]

Lin Yunfei's fans, who were caught climbing over the wall to peep at Jian Zhizhen, couldn't help but worry:

[momo: Even a simple compliment from the boss to a woman gets me lectured... What about Yunfei today...?]
