Chizuru Ueno, for many years has witnessed the discord between her parents, her mother's silent suffering for the sake of her children, and she has been in a society where women have been discriminated against for a long time. She had an idea: "If I have to live this kind of life in the future, it will be too uneconomical."
Shuiwutianqiliu, "mistakenly" became a mother, fighting hard in the battle of parenting. She works longer hours than her husband, but manages the entire household by herself. In order to keep the family running smoothly, Minuda had to persuade her husband bit by bit and ask for his help and understanding. She often feels uneasy: "Will the things I do make it more difficult for all women to work..."
Two sociologists, whose age difference is almost mother and daughter, discuss the plight and rights of women. From sleep to awakening, how can we escape the suffering of being women?
Reader comments
This book is very real and it touches on the difficulties and discrimination that women face when it comes to marriage and childbirth. The conversation between Chizuru Ueno and Airu Minada was also very interesting and made me think more about marriage and childbirth. I especially hate those who think that women must get married and have children. Everyone has their own choice and should not be bound by these traditional concepts. This book made me more determined in my thoughts.
The sad reality is that our society seems to be heading in this direction.
Human beings always have the instinct to survive in groups. Two people have a greater chance of survival than one person. So, why do we have no expectations for marriage? Have you ever seen a lot of people get married? Have you discovered that you can survive normally even without your significant other? Did you find that many men pay 1,000 yuan to their families for living expenses, hoping that the quality of life will be 10,000 yuan, and hope that their wives are working colleagues to take care of the family? Did you find that some women are under the illusion that their husbands can earn a lot of money while working leisurely and provide emotional value?
Probably society is developing too fast, and people's thinking cannot keep up with the economy.
Thinking about what we've done to lower divorce rates and increase population growth, it feels like we're encouraging a moral slide.
If that piece of paper only brings obligations, and the rights are the same as those without a certificate, then what is the point of getting married? Does it just represent historical inertia?
The two scholars have made a profound reflection on the issues of marriage and childbirth. Women today are indeed facing these difficulties. They hope that when facing these situations, everyone will not follow the inertia and follow the trend.
