In fact, the main reason for son preference has a lot to do with society. In the past, this patriarchal thinking was more prominent. Now, with the gradual improvement of economic and cultural level, many people's minds are gradually opening up and gradually losing this patriarchal thinking, but some people will still get stuck in their minds.
So what is the relationship between patriarchal ideology and society?
First, work. In fact, compared with women, men have greater advantages in many jobs. For example, in many hard-working industries such as computer industry, catering industry and high-risk operations, because for women, men are more hardy and more energetic, so generally Party A will be more willing to recruit male employees. Secondly, women will have maternity leave, which is approved by the state, which is easy to delay the progress of work, and women are more susceptible to emotional influence and not decisive enough.
Second, the inheritance of feudal thought. Is there such an old saying in the feudal thoughts of the ancients? Marry a girl, splash water? In other words, adopting a daughter is losing money. After working hard for more than twenty years, she finally got married and belonged to someone else's house. If she is an adopted son, she will not lose money and will be included in the new members. Therefore, for this feudal idea, raising a daughter means losing money, and raising a son means making money.
There is an old saying? Raising children for old age? In fact, it also originated from feudal thought. Losing money by adopting a daughter and making money by raising a child. In fact, in the final analysis, it is because people in ancient times had a hard life that they had such an idea and linked it with society and life. But in fact, our society is much better now, and most people's minds have changed, and there is no such concept as son preference. With regard to work, many strong women broke this ambiguous view of women in their work.
