In other words, Chinese women are the properties of all Chinese men. For making such unfair rules and such unjust statement, Confucius was considered a saint by men and women for centuries in China. Loving someone is to make that someone happy. Loving someone is not to make him or her to do things against his or her heart. Loving is not oppressing. Oppressing is sexism. Unfortunately, women are often the victim of sexism in marriage throughout the oriental Chinese history and the old western world as their husbands are convinced, fooled, blinded by unjust rules against women that they have every rights and power to make their wives to do anything with good or bad intention. Wake up, men and women! Sexism inside marriages will end only if we understand that we are not the properties of each other, rather we are life time partners and "There [should] be no powerful will bending [ours] in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature" (Chopin 100), according to Kate Chopin, the author of the essay title "The Story of an Hour".
Sexism is not hidden or well concealed; it is every where in our society. It is in our homes. It is in our work places. It is in our school. It is from the lips we speak. It is in our language but most important of all, it is in our mind. Every one of us is somewhat sexist. Otherwise, we would not happen to think that "women are sexy; men are successful" (Nilsen 378), that "women are passive; men are active" (Nilsen 381). Sexism is the misconceptions of our own gender and the opposite gender. Men can be sexy as women can be successful. As men and women, we are equally capable in performing tasks, whether house keeping, nursing, baby sitting, or managing a corporation as a CEO. A man can be a wonderful baby sitter. My father is a living proof after my younger brother was born. A woman can succeed in business.
