Chapter 67: Equality between Men and Women in the Wizarding World
On the other hand, the Weasleys not only have many children, but each of them is also the top student in the school. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In the eyes of others, these may be just small things. But in the eyes of George, whose vision encompasses the entire wizarding world, and even the entire world, the Weasleys are extremely unusual.
How special is this unusual? If George were to choose someone to be the headmaster of Hogwarts. George wouldn't have looked at Dumbledore at all. He would vote for Mrs. Weasley with all the votes he could manipulate.
George couldn't understand how the wizarding world could ignore the Weasleys, so obviously different.
In fact, the population of the entire British wizarding community is only about 3,000 people in total. In the case of the Muggle world, this is extremely unconscionable.
First of all, there were no large-scale wars in the wizarding world, and in fact, even during Voldemort's dark reign more than a decade ago, not many people actually died. After all, the population base of the wizarding world is too small, and if Voldemort dares to make a fuss like a careerist in the Muggle world, it only takes a few weeks or even a few days for the entire wizarding world to die cleanly.
No matter what kind of careerist he is, he will not hope in the end that he can only rule some cats and dogs.
Secondly, wizards have a long lifespan, and a healthy wizard can easily live to be more than a hundred years old, more than two hundred years old. They have many ways to extend their lives if they want to.
And then, babies in the wizarding world rarely die. Unlike the daily busyness of the Muggle world, there is a magic of convenience, and even the most ordinary wizarding family has long been very convenient and automated in household chores and life.
This allows wizarding families to have enough time to take care of their children, and at the same time, the declining birthrate of wizarding families also ensures that wizarding families pay special attention to their children's investment. Hogwarts will let all eleven-year-old wizards go to school, and once they have mastered some basic magic, it will be even more difficult for young wizards to die.
Neither large-scale war, mass death. It is not that the average life expectancy is short and the mortality rate is high. There is no premature death, preference for sons, and burial of children. How did the wizarding world maintain such a low population density?
In the end, George came to a very interesting conclusion after going through a lot of historical data, the biggest reason for the low population density of the wizarding world is that it is too equal between men and women.
George had many hypotheses, and he made them and verified them with historical sources. George had hypothesized life expectancy, mortality, and premature mortality rates, but these were not influencing factors.
In the end, the biggest reason affecting the population of the wizarding world turned out to be too equal between men and women, resulting in a low birth rate.
It has to be said that the concept of equality between men and women in the wizarding world has far exceeded that of the Muggle world for many years. As the saying goes, only with power can there be a voice. Unlike the Muggle world, it was not until modern times that after the development of science and technology and the liberation of productive forces, it experienced the feminist movement and affirmative action in pursuit of equality and equality.
Female wizards in the wizarding world do not need to go through the affirmative action movement in the Muggle world, and they do not need to go through such an action as fighting for women's rights. They are born with magic, and they are not lost to any man, they are born with power.
Although due to differences in preferences and habits, politicians in the wizarding world are also dominated by men. But when a girl can also become a wizard, even a powerful wizard. Whether at home or in society, the status of women is stronger than ever. At this time, the wizard wanted to have a harem, and he wanted to be patriarchal? That was really a pipe dream.
Just like in modern society, with equality between men and women, and good contraception, the declining birthrate is an inevitable consequence. In the wizarding world, no one will regard their life as a work of reproduction. This is not the case for ordinary people, and not even for wizards who think highly of themselves.
Even in the wizarding world, that particularly handsome and rich, "real" winner in life. Nicolame, he also has only one wife. You know, as long as he wants, endless gold, endless money, endless life. Even witches in the wizarding world will be tempted by him, and may even accept his three wives and four concubines.
But in more than 600 years of life, Nicolame, the real winner in life, the real handsome and rich, not only has only one wife, but also no children.
For the entire wizarding world, fertility and reproduction are a particularly undesirable thing. In this case, the Weasleys, who have a large number of children and raised them to become talents, seem particularly strange and different.
Harry panted and rushed over with the suitcase.
In order to avoid being seen by others, George didn't let Ron fly to 18 Privet Road in his cool car. It's close to a busy thoroughfare, and it's easy to see by passers-by, which obviously causes a huge sensation.
George had his raven go and inform Harry and tell him to bring all his luggage, and Harry left a note for Barbara Brooke. Then he slipped out quietly with a big box.
Ron stepped forward and gave Harry a heavy hug, "Hey, man, I'm worried about you." I sent you twelve letters, and you didn't reply to me, and I was so frightened that I just came by myself. ”
Harry ran over, and before he could breathe, he was hugged tightly by Ron. He let go of the box and stood there for a moment before relieving, "I'm sorry, I'm in some trouble, all my letters back and forth have been intercepted by a monster. ”
George carried Harry's suitcase and put it in the trunk of the car, then sat in the passenger seat of the car, and looked back at Harry and Ron, "Get in the car first, talk as you go, don't be discovered." ”
Ron and Harry sat in the back seats, the car slowly rising into the air, flying higher and higher, and Hedwig gliding happily back and forth around the car.
At this point, Ron couldn't wait to ask Harry, "What the hell is going on?"
Only then did Harry tell all the story, and he was treated indifferently by Uncle Vernon's family. On his birthday, he encounters Voldemort's house-elf, a monster named Dobby, who not only intercepts Harry's letters, but also tries to attack him. Luckily, George came and he had a new house.
After Harry finished speaking, there was a long silence in the car.
"There's been a lot going on in this time, but it's all okay. Ron said slowly in a heavy tone, he didn't expect so much to happen to Harry in the past few weeks. He turned his gaze back to George, "George, you gave Harry a perfect birthday. ”
