Jian Zhizhen was afraid that her questions might reveal that she was not from this time and space.
So they quickly made up an excuse: "We're from a remote mountain area where the rules aren't strictly enforced, and we don't understand a lot of things. Boss, do you have time to talk to us about it? We're afraid we might do something wrong and get arrested too."
The female boss was a cheerful person, and since there weren't many customers around, she started explaining things to the two of them:
She said that she used to call her "boss's wife" instead of "female boss," since "boss" is assumed to be male.
But ever since their leaders used force to make the area more equal ten years ago, all the titles have changed.
My maternal grandparents are called grandpa and grandma, so why are my mother's parents considered "outsiders"?
In the past, there were always people causing trouble, saying things like "the bride price is too expensive, and we can't afford to get married"... Now these phenomena have all disappeared.
In an era of gender inequality, many exorbitant dowries were intended for the brothers. However, with gender equality, parents no longer use their daughters' weddings to generate income for their sons. Furthermore, since men also have uterine implants to have children, no one feels they are losing out.
Marriage is marriage; it's about two people living together.
If we're going to have children, we should each have one, and the child should take the other's surname. If we're going to take care of the child, we should each take one day.
If you are to be filial to your parents, you should be filial to both sets of parents. If one set of parents is deceased, then calculate that filial piety as a monetary amount...
In any case, it must be fair, absolutely fair.
At first, many people couldn't change their old ideas and beliefs, and unequal concepts would still appear in their subconscious from time to time.
So a reporting mechanism was created: passersby film and record unfair situations, upload them to the fairness platform to report them, and once the report is approved, a fairness officer will come and arrest the person involved. The reporter can receive a reward of varying amounts.
The male boss must have been secretly reported by a customer when he said those words.
Upon hearing this, Jian Zhizhen asked curiously, "What happens after you're captured by the Fairness Master?"
The female boss replied, "For mild cases, they'll be educated at an equal education school. For moderate cases, they'll be sentenced to prison for rehabilitation. For severe cases, such as using physical advantages to harm someone's body or soul, like rape, chastity shaming, or assaulting minors, those will result in execution."
[Unusual Confidence: Holy crap, they're going to execute someone for this? Everyone knows that not sentencing a raper to death is giving the raped a chance to live! In this timeline, everything is punished so severely, the prison rate must be incredibly high!]
As soon as this comment popped up, Jian Zhizhen frowned.
Regardless of whether this timeline is an overcorrection, she was particularly disgusted by what Luo Xiaoqiang's ex-boyfriend said.
She muttered to herself, "There are actually men who sympathize with rape offenders, saying, 'Giving rapers a chance is giving the victims a chance'..."
The female boss exclaimed in surprise: "You should quickly investigate this man in your village. He might have done this! Our leader said that only potential criminals sympathize with criminals. When a normal man hears 'rape and be shot,' he'll just think, 'What does it have to do with me? He didn't rape anyone. Even if he was chopped up and fed to the pigs, it's none of his business!'"
Luo Xiaoqiang's ex-boyfriend was so angry that he sent several stabbing emojis and was too anxious to speak.
The female boss spoke of the leader, a hint of respect appearing on her face: "Our leader said that human nature is inherently evil, and the civilization of society is not due to human civilization, but to the effective punishment."
As the female boss was speaking, a customer came to pay the bill, and she paid for him, pausing briefly.
After the customer left, there were hardly any people left in the restaurant.
She was also very bored, so she told the two young people in front of her some gossip: "I used to have a female neighbor who was in jail for several years."
This surprised Jian Zhizhen somewhat.
From what she just heard, she felt that this society had been forcibly transformed from a society where men were strong and women were weak into a society where everyone was equal.
Therefore, it is mostly men who cannot accept it, because they cannot accept the concept of equality in a gradual and subtle way like men in the 23rd century.
If the men here accept this all at once, they will definitely make a lot of mistakes in the short term.
In an environment of absolute fairness, what serious mistakes could a woman possibly make that would warrant several years in prison?
Curious, she pressed for an answer: "Why?"
The female boss said, "Because society stipulates that both men and women have to do housework and take care of children, but what about her? She doesn't let her husband cook, saying that what he cooks is unhealthy; she doesn't let her husband help with cleaning, saying that he doesn't clean well; she doesn't let her husband take care of the children either, saying that she doesn't trust men to take care of children... In short, she takes all the responsibility upon herself!"
Jian Zhizhen frowned as he listened: "Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
The female boss wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right! If your husband can't cook, make him learn! If you're worried he'll be careless and unable to take care of the kids, report him and have a judge arrest him and educate him! Our society is so good now, why don't you enjoy it and make yourself suffer every day?"
Jian Zhizhen nodded repeatedly and pressed for an answer: "And then?"
The female boss said, "Later, a passerby reported her husband, feeling that he wasn't helping her share the burden. And guess what? When the judge came to her house to arrest her husband, she cried and shouted that it was all her fault, that she had asked him not to arrest her husband, but to arrest her instead."
"Then, she was diagnosed by the court as having a giving-oriented, love-brain personality and was locked up in jail for several years for rehabilitation! During those years, her husband took care of the children, which broke her heart. After that, she didn't dare to give without limits anymore and forced herself to let her husband do the work."
