How to look at men's family orientation Zhihu

In traditional culture, the social division of labor between men and women and the role of the family can be summarized by the phrase "the man is in charge of the outside, the woman is in charge of the inside" - on the one hand, the man is required to participate more in social affairs, and in this way, to obtain the corresponding revenue, to become the family's main economic source. On the other hand, the man is the "head of the family" "pillar" at the same time, the woman is more responsible for family affairs, to maintain the orderly operation of the family.

So, in the past, the social and family positioning of men, the most core requirement is "masculine" - to be able to top things, dare to take things, will do things; and under such inertia, many men are used to suffer outside, and then earn money to go home to enjoy the "macho". The first thing you need to do is to go home and enjoy the feeling of "machismo".

But now it's not quite the same, and "macho" has become a pejorative term in the eyes of many.

The Internet has popularized the "new good man standard" - to be able to go to the hall, to be able to go down to the kitchen; to be able to drive a BMW, to be able to pay for the building; to be able to wash the diapers, to be able to paint the old walls; to be able to resist the temptation, to be able to cajole the mother in law. The most important thing is: every year to his wife for Children's Day!

Additionally, there are men's new "three from the four virtues (get)" - wife to go out with "from", wife order to serve "from", wife to speak the wrong from the ", the wife to speak wrong to blind "from"; wife make-up to wait for "get", wife to spend money to shed "get", wife angry to endure "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world.

While these are network segments, there is inevitably a playful component, but also reflect the development of society, "I'm responsible for earning money to support the family, you are responsible for the beauty of the traditional model is also quietly changing.

Not only have women become more involved in social activities, men have also begun to take the initiative to participate in family affairs, more representative of the workplace around the female elite, businesswomen, businesswomen tycoons, women leaders in politics more and more prevalent, and the "hall, down to the kitchen," gradually become the "new good man. "The new good man" is one of the standard configurations, and even the "full-time father" is more understanding and acceptance.

But no matter how times have changed, "men" have been given high expectations and requirements by society and the family, as people often say, "like a man".... ..., just because you are a man".

So, what else is there to say about the male compatriots?
