"So, for a woman like me, is getting the kind of good ending you say is the best result in the world? If I don't go through these three years, then something itself will come to me. Now that it's been three years, why do you think I still think those things are a good thing for me? ”

The smile on Sugarcoat's face gradually stiffened, but soon, he looked at Arrow again with the same pity for the poor child, shook his head slowly, and said, "Since you yourself know that it is the world itself that ordered me to do these things, it means that what you have done has been against the will of this world. Love...... Arrow, why do you continue to forcibly disobey the Mandate of Heaven? Just like your name, from the moment you act as a woman disguised as a man, in fact, you also know from the bottom of your heart that men are born with more rights than women, right? What you're doing now is no different from banging your head against a wall. ”

Slowly, Arrow exhaled.

He looked up at the battle going on on the field.

Watch the two sides go back and forth, and watch that man-eating whale try to maintain its formation and fight every time!

That ex-pirate is trying to show his master, right?

It's just a pity that his master doesn't care about his battles at all now.

"Actually, I've been thinking about why we women have been so inferior since a thousand years ago. Why is it that for so many years, whether it is in our country or in other countries, as long as it is in any corner of the golden continent, men can naturally have more rights than women? ”

"I was thinking about it three years ago. During these three years, I have also been constantly thinking. Now, I've come up with an answer that I can understand. ”

Of course, what I'm saying isn't necessarily true. If I say so, you should listen to it. ”

After a slight pause, Arrow raised his head again, looked at the battle on the field that seemed to be completely unimportant, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he spoke-

"This should start from the end of the Demon War more than 1,300 years ago, right?"

"The records of the Demon War are so pitiful as far as I know now, and we modern people have almost no way to know what happened in the Demon War back then. The only thing I know is that after the Demon War, the power of magic began to flow on this golden road. According to the Holy See of Light, this is because after defeating the vile and filthy demons, the God of Light gave us the power of magic to protect ourselves, so that we humans can regrow in the land where everything was destroyed and everything was left to be rebuilt. ”

Then, we, the human race, also continued to multiply according to the idea of the God of Light[360]. And, too, into the question that I am talking about. ”

"Why...... Are girls inherently discriminated against? Why do we women have to be protected by you men? ”

"Why? The answer is simple. For the sake of reproduction. ”

Arrow exhaled slightly, reached out and covered his stomach slightly, and continued—

"It is for the sake of reproduction, so gradually, the social status of our women will gradually decline."

"Of course, I'm not talking about reproduction per se, but about the series of changes that occur after reproduction."

"When a man and a woman get married and become husband and wife, then people who originally belonged to two different families are now bound into one. In this way, the young couple would have to enter either family. ”

"So, do the husband and wife enter the man's family or the woman's family?"

"Generally speaking, it should make no difference whether you enter a man's or a woman's family. But in the post-war era, the most important thing we humans need to do is undoubtedly to expand our population. ”

"In order to be able to expand the population, some men with a little property began to marry more than one female member. And those who have no money, poor women will not mind entering the man's family life. ”

But on the other hand, it is impossible for a wealthy and powerful female family to marry more than one man. After all, there is only one belly, and even if you marry a hundred men as husbands, you can only give birth to one a year. However, for men, it is not a problem to get 100 women pregnant in a year. ”

In this way, in order to expand the population as quickly as possible, it is more convenient for the male members of the family to marry more than one woman, rather than having the female members of the family marry more than one man. In this way, over time, the 'tradition' of a newlywed couple getting married and going straight into the man's family is born almost without any consideration. ”

Arrow's hand clenched slightly, and after a moment he released it again, and continued—

"Once this is fixed, it becomes a tradition. One of the main functions of tradition is to bind future people from deviating from it. ”

"However, compared to the traditional shackles, there is a more important point that is the key factor that causes the social status of our women to gradually be inferior to that of your men."

"In the post-war environment of 1,300 years ago, there was no doubt that the population was the fighting power of a community. With a large number of people, you can protect your food from being plundered, you can hunt large magical beasts, and you can even attack other settlements. In this case, the population is the most important factor. ”

"But when a man and a woman marry and are destined to enter the man's family, it means that the woman's family will lose one laborer for no reason."

This also means that after marriage, the labor force of the woman's family is weakened, not only does not grow, but is weakened. However, the man's family can have an additional population because of marriage, and whatever can be done can be used to increase the population and labor force of the family. ”

"If these are just objective factors, then what I think about next may really be a subjective factor."

The guild leader pressed his hands on his knees, silently looked ahead, watched the cold battle, and continued—

"People will gradually become indifferent."

"We humans are creatures with a wealth of feelings. Such an abundance of emotions has allowed us to form an efficient society, but on the other hand, such efficient emotions are precisely the weakness of our human beings. ”

"Our emotions are rich because we are always stimulated by the things around us. When one of us enters another group, we will gradually integrate with this group and gradually get closer to this familiar group emotionally. ”

"But on the contrary, once the woman marries into the man's family, the communication with the woman's parents will become more and more rare."

"The decrease in communication is destined to become more and more thin. Although many people may deny it, I believe that this theory should not be made up by me alone. ”

He pointed to his forehead, smiled slightly, and said, "Just like me, I think I still miss my parents now?" Staying apart for too long can make the emotional connection even more fragile. In the end, they can even become complete strangers, completely cut off from each other. Even if it won't be in a year or two, but what about five years, ten years, twenty years from now? In the case of a girl who has not communicated with the woman's family, once she encounters a situation where she needs to stand in line between her parents and her husband's parents, what do you think the woman who is caught in the middle will choose? ”

Arrow rubbed his fingers and said slowly—

"I haven't investigated the specific situation in detail, and it's actually hard to find all this information. These are just my assumptions. ”

But if you think about it, if a family raises a daughter, and that daughter leaves the family after marriage, and ends up cutting off contact with her family, and may even help her husband to seize her parents' property, then I am afraid that no parent would want to spend too much energy on raising a labor force that is destined to be lost. After all, for the woman's parents, the girl is completely an existence that squeezes the family's food, but will leave the house as soon as she can work. Giving birth to a girl may not only not get any help, but it can be a money-losing business. ”

"So, since the girl's parents themselves don't have much kindness towards the girl, how can others respect the woman's social status?"

As a result, discrimination against women gradually spread from within the family to the outside. Even if there are many counter-examples in this long and vast sample of ethnic groups, as long as human beings are still so emotionally rich, so calculating, and weighing the pros and cons, then such discrimination will continue to spread and will not be reduced at all. ”

"In the end, it has been extended to the present, and the discrimination against our women has in turn put on a glorious and beautiful shell, and in turn in the name of 'protection', 'love', 'respect', and 'care', we women feel that this is a very comfortable feeling."

"In society, you men are a lady and a lady. You showed us a lot of respect and were willing to help us pull out the chairs and spread the tablecloths during the meal. Even willing to pay us a certain fee to treat us in the name of pampering. This kind of respect seems very good, and it is a sign that you men respect us women. ”
