446 Radicals and Conservatives

"But no matter what, we should still promote equal rights for men and women! Even if it's gradual, there should be no doubt about that, right? Ladies and gentlemen, let's not forget that we have all signed the Convention of the Red Chamber! ”

Wang Xue also refused to give an inch at this time.

Hearing this, Sun Lao sighed slightly and said:

"Well, Lao Ba just said that the problem of rushing things, my opinion is, since you know what is good and what is bad, then you should uphold the attitude of doing good things and don't ask about the future, right? As long as the direction is not wrong, let's keep going......"

"Haha, Elder Sun, you are really as ...... as Nicole commented on you"

At this time, Boss Luo, who had been sitting next to him silently, suddenly interjected with a smile.

Because today's meeting of the expanded Supreme Executive Committee, Boss Luo and Hou Xianglin also participated as representatives of the industrial community, but they did not speak just now. Now Boss Luo couldn't help but speak, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What did Nicole say about me?"

Elder Sun asked curiously.

"Nicole once talked to me about a few of you old people, and they all made a few comments one by one, uh, can I say?"

Boss Luo said with a smile to the few old brothers in front of him.

"I want to hear ......"

"Say it......"

"Well, when I first entered the Red Mansion, Nicole told me very seriously about Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Zhao, as if there were only a few of you and a few young people in the Red Mansion at that time.

As for why Nicole only evaluates the three of you, it's because at that time, only the three of you in the Red Chamber were "never dead" people.

Nicole believes that Sun Lao is an idealist at heart, while Zhao is a realist at heart, and as for Wang Lao, you are a classical conservatist with traditional ideas.

It's just that, guys, Nicole also added, saying that Sun Lao is an idealist with a sense of reality, Mr. Zhao, you are an idealistic realist, and Wang Lao is a real classical gentleman, Nicole also said that from Wang Lao, she saw a classical conservative who regards virtue as the supreme in reality......

Boss Luo said to the three of them with a serious face at this time

"Uh, it's kind of ......"

"It seems like a little different, but I can't figure out what it means for a while......"

At this time, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all fell into deep thought for a while.

"Forget it, let's stop drilling this bull's horns, here I will first express my attitude, I agree with Sun Lao's statement that 'but do good deeds don't ask about the future'......"

After a long while, Lao Wang finally responded to this sentence beside him.

"Well, it seems that this matter really can't be taken lightly...... Okay, what Wang Gong said just now is also very right, then I suggest that we take some time these days, especially at the discussion meeting after dinner, to discuss the relevant details of the "Marriage Compensation Law", and strive to gather everyone's opinions after the fleet returns, and finally settle this matter...... You can't keep arguing, you can't put it off any longer! What do you think? ”

At this time, Sun Lao finally finished his contemplation, he looked around at everyone, and responded seriously.

"Agreed!"

"Okay, these days, everyone is on their own side, take advantage of this time period to let everyone fully express their opinions."

"That's right, this issue of concubines really can't be delayed any longer, after all, it is about everyone's vital interests, and if it is discussed for a long time, people's hearts are unstable, and this team is not easy to bring......"

As a result, the members of the Supreme Executive Committee present at the meeting all expressed their approval of Sun Lao's proposal.

In this way, in the following days, according to the proposal of Sun Lao and several others, almost every night the "Federal Marriage Compensation Act" and the "Four Articles of Concubinage" proposed by the ladies a while ago were taken out for discussion, and at the same time, the Nicole and the Pride were also discussed simultaneously, striving to come up with a mature plan acceptable to all parties as soon as possible.

According to Sun Lao's request, they asked for a final solution within two days after the fleet returned to the Red Pier.

Sun Lao said in the telegram sent to Nicole that this "Federal Marriage Compensation Act" is related to how we treat condonage, how to face women's emancipation, and how to treat the fundamental directional issues of gender equality in this new world......

In this way, from the first half of July to the beginning of August, for more than half a month, whether in the Red Chamber or in the fleet, everyone began to actively discuss and argue about this issue of great legal significance.

Obviously, this issue has a great impact on future generations......

Probably it is about everyone's vital interests, and no one thinks that this matter is about outside the body, so the intensity of these discussions, or arguments, is somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, and all kinds of opinions and suggestions have come out one after another, and various ideas and concepts have collided fiercely, and finally formed a radical, conservative and centrist group in the group of traversers.

The radical faction consisted of the ladies of the Red Chamber and a handful of men with a sense of justice, and it is said that the husbands of the ladies were all radicals.

This faction believes that the Federal Marriage Compensation Act can only be a transitional law that will eventually eliminate polygamy, an ugly, oppressive and humiliating institution of marriage for women in the near future.

The radicals even proposed a 30-year transition period, saying that this is the age at which you are taken care of, because with this transition period, "it is enough to give you people a life of sexual bliss!" ”

However, for many high school students, this is obviously not enough, so many of them have become conservatives, these people dream of waking up to the power of the world and sleeping on the knees of beauties, so three wives and four concubines or something, just the standard!

Thirty years? Brother is eighty years old, maybe Jin Gang will not fall believe it or not!?

So first of all, this 30-year period will not pass......

They were therefore in favour of the legal provision for certain restrictions on polyandry and concubinage, such as financial compensation.

But this school of thought believes that as long as the woman is voluntary, she should go with the flow.

After all, in the East of this era, the custom of male superiority and inferiority of women has been at least a thousand years, this is part of the custom, from the history of the old world, unless there is a fundamental social change, it is difficult for the law to prohibit customs, right? Some people also cite the example of Old World India and say that although the people of India have votes in their hands and the constitution stipulates that everyone is equal, the caste system there is still deeply entrenched, and people at all levels of caste are very conscious of the fact that the human rights differences caused by caste are justified, including those of the lower castes.

And in today's times, if we ignore the actual social conditions and simply and brutally prohibit polygamy by law – even after 30 years, we will encounter a lot of resistance.

Don't think that 30 years is a long time, in the long river of history and customs, 30 years is a moment!

At that point in time, isn't there a custom of taking concubines in this society? Obviously not, the consequences of the rough ban will be very serious, not to mention whether there will be any serious social backlash, at the very least, concubines may become underground, black market, and even the phenomenon of underground lovers flooding.

At that time, for many women, it is really better to become an underground and unprotected lover mistress than to enter the house as a concubine, so that the rights and interests of women are also protected, and men also have the legal responsibility to be responsible for this woman, so from this point of view, concubines protect the rights and interests of these women.

Many people also quote scriptures and say that in governing the country, we must go with the flow, and you should not vainly try to rely on laws and administrative means to change the traditions and customs that have been formed for thousands of years. In addition to tossing the common people, the rest is a joke! It can even create social tragedy!

Governing a big country is like cooking a small and bright white? You should more or less take a hard look at the lessons of the old world......
