Quoting "有無私的貢獻,才有圓滿,有無限的心量,才有崇高的人格。" If you look at the history, it is always the women who sacrifice the most in a family while getting LEAST at the end. Look at the way people share inheritance and you will see. People always ask it is good to sacrifice for the goods of OTHERS,but how come it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the women who need to sacrifice..who need to be SOLD OFF to others? What do men have to sacrifice in a family??? I really do not understand why women can devalue themselves to the point of being SOLD OFF to others? Maybe I am a bit of an activist myself, I always subscribe to the concept of "continuous fighting" for equal RIGHTS! It is only through movement/protest that we can move toward equality. Look if we did not move forwards, all our feets will be bonded, we receive no education, bear many children and at the end, we receive ABSOLUTELY nothing at all. I agree that we must do more protest and get our voices heard for us and our next generation move forward...toward total gender equality.

[> [> Subject: 大自然一直以他們最適合的方式來演變，女性比較細心，看事情的觀點比較全面，溝通能力比較強，對人比較體貼，這特點是由人類進化而成的，也受男女性賀爾蒙的影響，所以女性來照顧家庭會比較優勝。而男性看事物是以直觀方式，即是比較少考慮到枝節的問題，而且性格比較衝動，對人當然沒有那麼貼心了，這也是受到睪丸素的影響，由他們來照顧家庭，可能很糟糕。所以各式各樣的生物，就在適合他們的崗位上發展，總不會讓狗去耕種，讓牛來看門，因為這不是牠們的所長。人也一樣，因為男人有這些身理和心理的特質，所以就讓他們去做勞動的事，歷史上的戰爭從來沒有停過，犧牲的都是男人，所以他們在人類歷史中也有犧生的，是故男人和女人都有貢獻的，我想最大的問題，莫不是人的心，原始時代是母系社會，崇拜母性（這點在很多古文化中可見），但近代又崇拜男權，人不過是活在觀念中，而被愚弄而已。

[> [> [> Subject: hi sher and ele, i agree with ur reflection. we should have a critical mind, even if it's for "tradition". "history" can't rationalise unfair or abusive practices. if everything that is "long-lasting" is "reasonable" and "good", then all of us should find a man and get married and be a good mother and wife ONLY. this is the ONLY accepted "tradition" for women according to our cultural "history".
