How did the concept of son preference come into being?

Since the end of the 20th century, women's rights have been greatly improved, and the fixed pattern that men are outside and women are inside has been gradually broken. Women don't have to be housewives at home, but they can also be self-sufficient through work.

But now you ask whether women have been discriminated against by sex? I believe most people will answer that decades of new ideas can't shake the inherent concepts, so how did the concept of son preference first come into being?

First of all, from the human subconscious, in the distant hunting era, human beings live in groups and mainly rely on hunting and picking wild fruits to get energy. Hunting is a high-risk, physical activity, of course, men have an absolute advantage, and women pick wild fruits at most.

Protein is a scarce resource in the hunting era. If more protein can be provided for the tribe, more nutrition can be provided for the next generation, and the chances of children's survival are greater. Under such a lifestyle, men naturally have a higher right to speak.

However, the disadvantages of this survival mode are obvious. It's too risky to go hunting, and you don't get anything every day, so the energy supply is very unstable. After thousands of years of evolution, humans have discovered a plant called wheat. When wheat is sown in autumn and harvested in spring, the harvested fruit can be stored. Even in case of natural disasters, the preserved grain can survive for a long time.

The beginning of farming civilization has improved the stability of human existence and gradually replaced hunting as the main way for human beings to obtain energy.

Getting energy by farming is also a physical activity. Although women can farm in the fields, due to physical reasons, the efficiency is much lower than that of men, and men still hold the right to speak.

Of course, this is a prejudice. Women have also made great contributions to mankind. Having children ensures that human genes can be passed on, and logistics work ensures that men have no worries. But all these are often considered less valuable than obtaining energy. After all, even if they have children, it is still difficult for them to survive without a stable energy supply.

Many female friends may feel unfair when they see this, but there is no fairness in this world. Giving birth to son preference is not only ideological, but also deeply embedded in human genes.

Selfish genes put forward a hypothesis: human beings are only carriers of genes, the body is a puppet, and genes are the real masters. All human actions are just to pass on their own genes.

Let's do a simple math problem: When a man and a woman come of age, how many more children will you have in your life?

A: Male 1, female 10000.

B: female 1, male 10000.

The answer is obvious. Of course, A>b and men have a great advantage in the number of children. If they have boys, it means they have a greater chance to inherit their genes. Because of this, many women prefer to have boys themselves.

Under the influence of the prejudice that men are strong and women are weak, human beings have survived for tens of thousands of years, and this prejudice has also brought many derived concepts.

There is an almost tacit concept in modern society. Men are born to struggle. If they want to succeed hard, they will be losers if they don't work hard and earn money to support their families, but they are also harsh on women. The most important thing for a woman is not to work hard, but to marry a good man and take good care of her children.

We are born kidnapped by other people's opinions and dogmas. People will only tell you that you need to do this, and rarely really care about your feelings. As for why you did this, I'm afraid they don't know it themselves, just saying that others live like this. It is probably the most difficult thing in this world to live your true self and not care about other people's opinions.

Standing at the top of the Golden Pagoda, the people who enjoy the best resources of this society are mostly men, while the prisoners and vagrants at the bottom are mostly men, and women are only in the middle, neither the best nor the worst. Men are under greater pressure to succeed in their careers and need to work hard. Most men are born with strong initiative. With the blessing of androgen, men will do whatever it takes to make money and succeed.

People without poison, husband and malice are unstable. These words are all about men. Unscrupulous people fight with principled people In most cases, unscrupulous people will win, win and lose, and win more benefits. In this struggle, men are hardly behind. The original prejudice and the control of resources in reality make the status of men rise continuously. After their status rises, they can manipulate the system and public opinion, further consolidate their social status, and the concept of son preference has thus formed an ideological closed loop.

There is a popular saying recently: If you want to destroy a person, let him feel at ease. The ideas inherent in our society tend to make women comfortable.

People invented the educational method of raising children in poverty and raising women in wealth. Men should bear hardships and stand hard work when they are young, because when they grow up, they have to make money to support their families, while their daughters are spoiled and try not to be wronged. When such boys and girls grow up, if they are hit or frustrated at the same time, men will soon be able to get back on their feet, because they have experienced many setbacks since childhood, while women need longer time to get back on their feet, which makes it easier for men to gain an advantage in their work and rebuild their self-confidence. No matter in work or life, people have to experience many setbacks and fall into the trough of life. If they can quickly adjust themselves and cheer up, who will win the final victory, because the educational culture of raising children in poverty and raising children in wealth is often that men quickly adjust back, men are regrouping and moving on, women are still there, and the gap is opened again.

This phenomenon not only appears in education, but also in social system. Many modern companies have introduced welfare policies for women, and women's maternity leave has been continuously extended. Some companies even have to take a holiday. Is this love for women?

Of course not. The essence of capital is to gain more benefits. For the same position, whoever can contribute more to the company will be rewarded by the company. Taking a few more days off for no reason will only make women's unemployment rate higher, and only a small number of women will really benefit. More sadly, most girls agreed to increase their holidays because they were caught in a prisoner's dilemma. Regardless of men and women, each of us should maximize our personal interests.

Let's take a look at the classic prisoner's dilemma:

Party A and Party B were arrested for stealing and killing in partnership. The police isolated them and gave them three choices:

1. If both people deny it, they will be sentenced to 1 year.

2. If both of them confess, they will be sentenced to 8 years each.

3. If one of two people confesses and the other denies, the confession will be sentenced to six months and the denial to 20 years.

Therefore, every prisoner is faced with two choices: confession or denial.

Assuming that each prisoner only seeks his own best interests and does not care about the interests of another participant, then the final choice is certain, and both of them deny it and serve the same sentence for 8 years.

Corresponding to the extended holiday system for women, Party A and Party B are faced with three choices:

1. Both of them chose to extend their holidays, which lost the overall female employment rate.

2. Both of them choose to give up the opportunity to extend their holidays without any return.

3. One chooses to extend the time and the other chooses not to extend it. Those who extend the time will get a holiday, which will lose the overall employment rate of women, and those who do not extend the time will have no return.

Of course, 90% people don't know that extending the holiday will reduce the employment rate of women. Even if they do, most people will choose to extend the holiday, because if you lose your holiday and others choose to extend it, the employment rate will also decrease.

In order to ensure the equality between men and women in employment, the government will introduce policies to protect women, but this is not worth mentioning in the face of the nature of profit-seeking capital. For the same position, it is required that women's academic qualifications be upgraded from undergraduate to master's degree, and master's degree be upgraded to doctor's degree, or the assessment standards for probationary women should be improved, and so on. There are countless black means of capital response.

The most desperate thing is that even if women can overcome all the disadvantages compared with men, they will eventually face the same reality as men: efforts may not be successful, and efforts may not be rewarded, which is the most unacceptable. A person has invested a lot of time and energy in his career, and may still get nothing in the end. Since he has to pay so much, he may not get anything in return. Why not just spend less money, be content and live a comfortable life?
