    <> first of all, let's talk about its existenceCauses: There is still a "patriarchal" concept in the countryside, which isHistorical legaciesThe Chinese feudal system has existed for thousands of years, and the concept of "preference for sons over women" was formed under this system, and the reason why it existed was because at that time it was widely believed that men were "powerful" and could do great things, while women were married. Nowadays, young people say that they don't have this kind of concept, and when you are old, you don't have anyone around you to take care of you, do you still think so?

    Everyone's thoughts will change with age, so don't doubt the ignorance of the elderly, you have to have a son, that is to see a lot of conclusions, and it is also for our good.

    Personally, I think this problem, patriarchy, is influenced by history and culture, and now there are a few people in this society, and now children are treasures, but in the older generation, they may have this concept.

    Now the concept of many people in many rural areas is changing, and while having a son, they hope to have a daughter who is happier. I have a friend from rural Fujian Province who has two sons. But the lack of adoption of a girl, relying on the son to support the elderly is unreliable, and the daughter is more filial.

    And the pressure of having a son is also great, and if you don't have the financial ability, you can't afford to pay the higher and higher bride price, so it's better to win than your daughter.

    Throwing away the old customs, the concept of the countryside as a whole is also changing, and it is the same when giving birth to children.

    Heavy physical work in the countryside, the boy of the rural family is the pillar of labor, many rural economies, mainly rely on labor to maintain the family, there is no machinery, can only rely on physical strength to complete, many rural people are not highly educated, or even have no culture, go out to work can only work hard, so in the countryside is needed a boy.

    Don't talk about such a distant topic as property inheritance, they may not even be able to do basic life fairness Just went to drink full moon wine a few days ago Someone asked: On such a hot day, do you think you won't do it......The other party replied: How can you not give birth to a grandchild.

    What's even more disgusting is that the diapers used by the grandson will be a little better.

    Clause.

    1. In the old days, China was a traditional farming nation, and boys were more physically active.

    Clause. 2. In modern society, many fathers think that their daughters will have boyfriends when they grow up, and then they are not so close to their families, so the older the boys, the easier they are to communicate.

    My family is also patriarchal, because my blood pressure is either high or low, but I still can't eat it during the Chinese New Year every year. Every time my dad buys me food, it's what his nephew likes. It's been more than ten years, and he won't buy anything I like.

    It must be because the concept is outdated, and now people like girls more than boys, and if they don't keep up with the times, they will be eliminated sooner or later.

    The preference for sons over women has been passed down from ancient times, because the older generation thinks that women are inferior to men. People like girls now. Didn't you say that the woman was China Merchants Bank and the man was China Construction Bank?

    In the past, every family had an offering to their ancestors. This work is usually done by sons. So the traditional thinking is patriarchal.

    What's your question? You need to analyze, in your communication with your parents, your mistakes are in, your parents' mistakes are in, what are the aspects of your communication that are smoother, and what are the communication difficulties? Among them, there are many wrong commands and improper handling of parents, as well as your attitude problems.

    To some extent, the quality of parents is really not flattering, so I don't think the fault must be you, but it is certain that your attitude must be wrong, otherwise, there is no generation gap between you and your parents. In the hearts of parents, they will not admit that they are wrong, this, they do not do as good as you, because in their hearts, they have paid a lot, have done a lot for you, the requirements are right, you have not done it, all kinds of this, constitute the special psychology of parents, in their subconscious, pay is absolutely voluntary, but because they do not get the expected results, they will no longer consider and reflect on their own problems. Based on this, you need to consider it seriously, parents are people with feelings, people with hopes, people who have expectations for you, people who have expectations for you, people who have any expectations that are beneficial to you, and you also need your own life, you also need your own freedom and independence, you also need to have your own space and pursuit, and the conflict with your parents is inevitable.

    But it's not irreconcilable, you and your parents both have the same wishes, that is, they want you to be an excellent person, but they just think about it from different angles. So, put yourself in your parents' shoes, think about how your parents feel, think about how to convince your parents from your point of view, that's what you have to do. At the same time, the obstacles set up by your parents for you, you should complete as a task, that is, you will go out into society in the future, you have to deal with non-kind treatment, what your parents give you is kindness, you learn to deal with it, you will learn to deal with all complex affairs in the future, so that you can become a real person who is at ease.

    Your imagination and your intelligence, you can do very well.

    That idea still exists, huh? Because of China's backwardness in the past, people at that time thought that men were very promising and women were taking care of housework, and now although China's reform has established a new viewpoint, there are still many places where people are very stubborn and do not think that women can do anything, so the phenomenon of preference for sons over daughters still exists!

    The traditional small-scale peasant economic ideology and the remnants of the idea of "no filial piety has three, and no queen is great" left over from feudal society, as well as the current patriarchal society.

    Due to some traditional concepts, those who give birth to a man can support the elderly, and the daughter will eventually marry when she is raised.

    Because, sometimes a man can pass on his parents' surname, while a girl can only change her father's surname...

    China's ancient feudalism is not completely subsiding, there are always some people who think that boys can pass on the lineage, in fact, it is not all the same, rest assured, it should be completely open in a few years.

    People have different thoughts, some are more old-fashioned, others are very open, and their parents are indeed hateful and pathetic, but they are powerless and even the law cannot stop them. So you can only blame yourself for your bad luck and reincarnated in this family, accept your fate, otherwise show your strength to prove to them that girls are as good as boys, and use facts to conquer their rotten people.

    Because girls will marry out when they grow up, and they will not be with their parents. The boy grew up to marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to grandchildren, and take care of two elderly people.

    After that, it is all up to the son to inherit the family business, and the parents still need to be taken care of by the son when they are old, and you girls can't take care of them every day after they get married! So a lot of parents will be a little eccentric.

    It's not that every family in the world is patriarchal, but your family has different personalities and thinks that women are married. The difference between men is that when their parents are old, they want the next generation to support their parents.

    Tell you about the relationship between male and female friends, if a girl wants to catch a boy, she grabs him like a handful of sand,,, he must go back,,! If she is bland with him, the boy may have feelings for her and love her very much! The fact is also,Don't be too sensitive about anything.,Don't be too careful.,If you really think she really doesn't care about you.,You can accommodate your brothers and sisters a little bit.,It's the same for her.,If she has a heart.,You will definitely feel a little guilty.,Of course, this is not a very good way.,But you can make the relationship between you and your parents and brothers and sisters not go to the bad side because of these little things.

    Because parents may think that boys can support the elderly after they are old, and have the awareness of raising children to prevent old age, girls are equal to spilling water when they get married, but with the development, people have very little awareness of this, and men and women are equal.

    Patriarchal people generally emphasize the concept of inheritance, believing that only sons are the only means of succession.

    Most of the gender biases that exist in the current parental preference are due to cultural or religious practices. However, it should be noted that this is not a morally correct act, and there is talk of fighting for respect and equal treatment of men and women.

The reason why Chinese parents pin their expectations on their children is, to a certain extent, to extend their expectations for certain concrete things to their children. For example, the mother has always had a ** dream, when she has a child, she will guide her child in the direction of **. This is just one of the expectations, and there will be a variety of different expectations, and all these expectations are based on the helplessness of being surpassed under the trend of comparison, so she pinned her expectations on her children to make up for her own shortcomings. >>>More
