When a man respects a woman

     









     Have you heard these vocabularies, manly girl and sissy? Actually, these are negative, or with something derogatory. However, Why do the words come to our life frequently in recent days? Maybe it due to the status changes between men and women. In China, we used to speak, “Women can prop up a half of sky.” But in fact, sometimes women can even prop up the whole day. I even couldn’t believe the big changes between men and women in China in the past 30 years. As we know, male had the absolute high status 30 years ago in China. Factory workers were masculine, police officers were masculine, firefighters were masculine, mail carriers were all masculine too. In traditional, feminine shouldn’t do these jobs as they are too hard to do for them. Sometimes it was considered several jobs were not suitable for feminine to do, politicians, soldiers, and athletes for instance. These situations have changed a lot nowadays. We can see Chinese feminine athletes always get more awards than masculinity. There are several feminine politicians play important roles in the government. The interesting changes are in the families. For example, In 30 years ago, husband make the decision, and wife should listen to her husband. Recently, although husband maybe head of the family also, but wife is neck; you know, the neck can move the head easily. We can understand that the character of a masculine is direct and may be hard while the character of a feminine is soft. Just like a tooth is hard a tongue is soft. When a man is gets old, he will have his tongue left but not his teeth. So the soft will take over the hard. All the changes is not the reason that the mail becomes sissy and the female becomes manly. In my opinion, the changes show that people in China have been opening their minds, different cultures communicate, and make them more advanced in ideas during these years. Finally, it is the respect between men and women.
