Gender notions are but a product of the times

Gender discrimination, as a bad habit that has been accumulated over many years, is the result of various economic, political, and cultural effects. Therefore, the change of ideas cannot be achieved overnight, and it will inevitably face the obstruction of power and the destruction of prejudice. Fortunately, the progress of the times has provided a breeding ground for the germination of the idea of ​​equal rights, and the increase in the penetration rate of education has allowed some of the seeds to absorb nutrients and take root. Although the sun seen in the cracks of the stone is far away, but there is sunshine, there is power, and there is hope for upward growth. Just as the seedlings accumulate enough strength to break through the shackles of broken stones and go straight to the sky, the idea of ​​equal rights will surely win a qualitative leap after a long-term accumulation of quantitative changes. "The judge's verdict will not change with the weather, but with the progress of the times" Ginsburg is not so unfortunate, born in an era when women are generally considered male subordinates, it is better to say relative to that She is fortunate for women in the era and even in certain areas today. She has a mother who taught her to resist dialectics and learn to think. She has gained a husband who respects each other and loves each other deeply. Therefore, she has the ability to resist consciously, and has the ability and courage to demand equal rights. This reminds me of the malice and prejudice against women reflected in the speeches of ordinary people in slums to lawyers with higher education in "India's Daughter". In fact, in most areas, men are superior to women. It is not that there is no resistance, but that the oppressed women have no awareness of equal rights at all, and there is no equal opportunity for dialogue. Without the corresponding material foundation and conditions, how can consciousness exert its subjective initiative? In the final analysis, vigorously developing the economy and education is the fundamental way to realize equal rights at an early date.
