Chapter 42: The Realm of Sophistry (3)
Written on the front:
The opinions involved in this story are all sophistry, not enough to believe, not enough to believe, not enough to say, not enough to say, not enough to say, and just a joke. The story is boring, and everyone can choose to watch it.
……
It's the weekend, and after a week of boring work, it's time to enjoy yourself. Chen and Xiao agreed to go shopping on the pedestrian street together, pick and choose, and after trying on countless clothes, they finally had a satisfactory harvest. The two girls who had fun sat on the bench under the shade of the trees beside the road, one holding an ice cream, enjoying the scenery of the Taiwu River, the evening breeze gently brushed the girl's face, as beautiful as a poetic picture.
At this moment, a mother and daughter walked over, the daughter was about twenty years old, it was the time of youth and liveliness, but she shrugged her head, her mood was obviously not good, and the reason was very simple, her mother was constantly nagging in her ear: "Why are you so careless, you will lose your wallet when you take a bus, and you will have to be more hearty in the future." ”
When the two of them walked away, Xiaocai said: "Look, anyone will do this, eat a trench and grow a wisdom." ”
Chen said a little angrily: "But this is not right, it is not the girl's fault that something was stolen, why should she be blamed, this is not right." ”
Xiao said helplessly: "I know it's wrong, but what's wrong?" We have not yet reached the Great Harmony Society, the crime rate has not been reduced to zero, there will always be people who will be harmed, so what we can do is try our best to protect ourselves. ”
"Nope." Chen's emotions were a little excited, and she said, "The most important thing for us is to condemn such evil deeds and use our own personal efforts to change all this." ”
Xiao patted Chen's hand and said comfortingly: "Our personal strength is very small, you can't change this society, you can only learn to adapt, and our society has been changing, with economic development and cultural construction, this kind of evil behavior will become less and less, we study hard and work hard to promote the development of society, and each of us is already working hard for it." ”
Chen frowned and said, "Xiao, your thoughts are too negative, aren't you, waiting for social development to naturally promote?" I'm not saying it's impossible, but it will take a long, long time, when everything will be cold, and besides, even if society develops, the evil deeds will not necessarily disappear immediately, and if we want to get a safe living environment, we still need to fight for it ourselves, and no one will care if we don't say a word. ”
Xiao looked at Chen's appearance and said, "Are you still thinking about Xiao Xu?" ”
Xiao Xu is a friend of the two of them, some time ago I went to a nightclub to play, and I was "bullied" after being drunk, and I persuaded him to go to that kind of place less in the future, and if you want to go, call a few friends, don't go alone. But Chen doesn't agree with Xiao's statement, obviously there is a problem in the nightclub and needs to be improved in terms of safety, why find the reason in a vulnerable group like Xiao Xu? This is completely unreasonable.
was hit by what Xiao said in his heart, Chen Zhiwu took a look and said: "You don't care about this, anyway, I still insist on my own opinion, wrong is wrong, right is right, we didn't do wrong, so we shouldn't be blamed." ”
Another unhappy debate, Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's hard to have a day off today, don't talk about these troublesome things." ”
Chen nodded and said, "Well, okay." ”
The two sat and looked at each other, and after a full minute, Chen couldn't stand it at first, she took out a newspaper from her bag, and said, "Xiao, what do you think of this news?" ”
Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, both of them are the kind of people who don't refute each other's discomfort, this kind of no-lose-win situation is as uncomfortable as a thorn in the throat, and it is precisely because they both have such a hobby that they have become close friends.
Xiao took the paper, and on the front page there was news about the recent presidential campaign, with a female candidate, Siri, declaring, "If I am elected, half of the cabinet will be women."
Chen said: "I know that the reason why she played this card is to save the election, we don't consider this, just talk about this sentence." ”
Xiao read the news roughly and said, "Okay, do you think this sentence is correct?" ”
Chen said: "I don't think there is a problem with this sentence. ”
Xiao flicked the newspaper and said, "Of course equality is good, but I don't understand when equality of opportunity is replaced by equality of outcome." ”
Chen said solemnly: "Because equality of opportunity does not bring real equality. Remember what happened a hundred years ago? We even had a fight because of tariffs, so why should we keep tariffs high and not maintain a free and equal opportunity market? Because our industry at that time was just developing, it was still too weak, and what we produced could not be compared with other industrially mature countries, once tariffs were opened and equal opportunities were set, our fragile industries would be completely crushed by the high-quality and low-cost products of other countries. In this case, we must not have equality of opportunity, but equality of results, only in this way can we protect our nascent industrial system, and only when the industrial system grows slowly can we be called a strong country. In the same way, women are now in an all-round disadvantaged position in society, especially in this regard, it is difficult for women to make a difference, not because she does not work hard, but because of the constraints of various traditional concepts. ”
Xiao said: "But this is the cabinet, it can decide the fate of a country, shouldn't it be a meritocracy?" ”
Chen smiled and said: "Xiao, our country is the most powerful country on the planet of Llan, and there seems to be no extremely sharp contradictions at present, at this time, we don't need a particularly strong and domineering cabinet, nor do we need any talented people, on the contrary, if such people become presidents, they may have nothing to do and cause more trouble, after all, they are not willing to be unknown in the history books." What we need now is a conservative cabinet that can move forward according to the policies that were previously made, and it is not to the point where it needs to be improved, after all, we have just experienced ...... You know. Taking a step back, with a population of hundreds of millions in our country, the vast majority of school-age women have received a good education, and the proportion of women in top universities is also quite large, so how can there not be a few cabinet members who can compete with men among so many outstanding women? Why do you think that if women make up half of the Cabinet, it will affect the ability of the entire Cabinet? ”
Xiao said: "According to you, does that also require that there must be representatives of all faiths, and representatives of all races have a seat in the cabinet?" ”
Chen shook his head and said, "What we are talking about now is the status of women in society, what do those people have to do with it?" I'm a woman, so if you want to promote women to have an equal place in society, will there be no one for those races? Won't they make their voices heard? Everyone has their own voice, so that a free and equal society can be created, not that everyone has to take into account the interests of everyone else. ”
Xiao Moran looked into Chen's eyes and said, "You are a cold person. ”
Chen replied, "I'm just a sane person. ”
