What's it like growing up in a patriarchal family?

Although we have been advocating equality between men and women, the education between men and women is really unfair. A common phenomenon in patriarchal families is the unfairness in education. Son can go to school even if he doesn't study hard, and parents try their best to support his son. However, no matter how good his daughter studies, she will lose money. Reading is expensive, so when she goes to college, she will not be allowed to continue studying, and she will go out to work to subsidize her family. This is completely squeezing my daughter, which is really chilling.

Let the daughter adopt the son. When we watched Ode to Joy, we were very angry with Mei Sheng's mother. I didn't expect such a mother, but there will be one in life. I still remember an Anhui girl who finally bought a house on her own and wanted to give herself a sense of security. But when buying a house, her parents forced her to write her brother's name. Finally, the girl didn't buy a house, so she sat alone in the corner for a long time. Such an excellent girl was born in such a family.

You have to have a son. The concept of son preference mostly occurs in the older generation. If you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to give birth to a son at home. I always feel that your family has a throne to inherit. If you can't have a son, you will be abused, and even a son can't be born. It is possible to kick you out.

So it's really sad to be born in a family that values boys over girls. I can't make a clean break with my parents, but everything at home is intertwined with me. At this time, I finally understood Fan's mood when he cried. This is thirty years of injustice.
