Why do people always call their husbands outsiders and their wives insiders ?

This is because in the old society, the husband mainly worked outside the home, while the wife mainly ran the house。In fact, most of these names appeared in the old society, and they rarely appear in today's open and equal society. "Outsider" and "insider" are not just superficial titles, we can also see the status of men and women in ancient society and the division of labor between men and women through them.

Although this phenomenon has been greatly improved in today's society, this phenomenon still exists in society, that is, we are familiar with "housewives".

A closer look at the ancient feudal society shows that the social productive forces at that time mainly relied on labor。However, from a physiological point of view, women's physical fitness is obviously inferior to that of men, which gradually forms a family division of labor of "male dominance and female dominance", and "male ploughing and female weaving" depicts this phenomenon well. It is precisely because men in ancient times often worked outside the home that they were called "outsiders"; Because women often work from home, they are called "house people".

"Male dominance outside and female dominance" is not only a superficial social division of labor, but also reflects the problem of unequal social status between men and women。In the old society, women were just appendages of men, and they had no right to speak outside, let alone inside. It can be seen that "outside" is more like a kind of pride in men's social status, while "in the house" shows that women can only silently contribute to the family, but have no status in society.

With the continuous development and progress of society, the roles played by men and women in society are no longer as single as in the old society, and there are not only "housewives" but also "full-time husbands".。No matter what role people play in society, they should be respected by the people. More importantly, the social productive forces have been developed in an all-round way, relying not only on labor, but also on mental power, which makes the status of men and women in society equal and has a fair chance to compete.

Because most people think that the husband is mainly doing business outside, and the wife is mainly busy with housework at home, so the saying of outside and inside the house has been formed.

Since ancient times, men have presided over the affairs of the family, and women have been in charge of the affairs of the family.

It is because of the different division of labor between men and women, the meaning of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, because the man is working hard outside, so he calls the outsider, and the woman is at home around the family, so he calls the person in the house.
