Emile 卢梭 4466Words 2018-03-18
Sophie was supposed to be a grown woman, and a typical grown woman, just as Emile was a typical grown man.Sophie should have all the characteristics of a woman, including physical and spiritual, of course, including all aspects of her duties as a woman.Next, let's analyze and study the differences between men and women. If you exclude the differences in sex between men and women, there is no difference between men and women.Their body organs, needs for life, and ability to work and study are all the same. No matter from which point of view, they are just some differences in the same place.Men and women are very different in all sexual ways, but these differences are everywhere connected.

But one thing is, in terms of the physique of men and women, it is difficult for us to define which ones are sexual and which ones are not.The only thing we can be sure of is that they differ sexually. From this point of view, there are many similarities and differences between men and women, which makes us marvel at the magic of the creator, who creates men and women who are so similar in physique but so different. Regardless of the similarities or differences, they all have an impact on people's spirit and morality, and these effects are very obvious, which is consistent with the results of our daily research, and thus has also produced some ideas about gender superiority and gender inequality. The equality debate.

Obviously, these arguments are completely meaningless, because living in nature, both men and women have their own unique goals and directions. Just imagine, if the differences in gender characteristics between men and women were smaller, their lives would not be as harmonious as they are now, so there is no comparability between men and women.In the same respect, they are equal; in different respects, it is meaningless to compare. Any complete male individual and female individual are not the same physically and mentally, and there is no such thing as an exact similarity. In the combination of the sexes, men and women have the same purpose and are working hard to achieve this purpose, but the methods they use are different, which determines the difference in the spiritual relationship between the sexes.

The first noticeable difference is that one is active and one is passive.The active side is physically strong, while the passive side appears weak.The active party is strong-willed and powerful, while the passive party is obedient or has a little resistance. On the premise of acknowledging this theory, let's talk about the second difference between the sexes.Women's bodies and looks are designed to please men.On the contrary, men also need to please women, but the way they do it is not so direct.The advantage of men is that they have strong bodies, and their strength is the best capital to please women.

It is not the law of love that operates in the mutual pleasing of the sexes, but the law of nature, which is more enduring and stable than the law of love. If women are born to please men, then they exist to be accessories to men and to please them, not to displease them. Women should use their charm to inspire men's power, let men discover their own power and use this power, and the best way for women to stimulate and transform this power is the necessary weak resistance. Resistance can make a man's self-esteem and desire merge into one, and both men and women can gain the pleasure of success in defeating each other.Men and women are in a relationship of offense and defense, men's offense is strong and brave, and women's resistance is weak and powerless, until finally the laws of nature come into play, and God gives chastity and shame as weapons to the weak to defeat the strong .

In fact, God has endowed everyone with a sense of honor and disgrace. While endowing human beings with unlimited desires, he has also given human beings the rights and methods to regulate their desires, so that human beings can gain freedom and control themselves well. It not only endows men with strong lust, but also gives them strong rationality to control their behavior. It not only allows women to have unlimited lust, but also uses chastity and shame to control the overflow of their lust. For the combination of men and women, women always show a posture of resistance and defense, no matter whether women are as willing to enjoy the joy of sex as men are, no matter whether women are willing to use their bodies to please men.But these resistances and defenses are different at different times, and not necessarily in order to succeed.

If the offensive side wants to win, the defensive side must control and drive the direction and intensity of the attacker's attack.Women have plenty of ways to stimulate and control men's attacks. For the combination of men and women, the laws of nature and human reason do not allow violence. How can violence be allowed in this kind of gentle and free behavior! Nature empowers the weak enough to resist when necessary so that violence does not occur.At the same time, human reason is also opposed to violence in this respect.Compulsive sex is brutal, no less than a beast, and is itself contrary to the purpose of sex.

Men doing this is a manifestation of lack of basic respect for women. At the same time, they are also challenging their partners and inspiring their partners' self-protection power. They can even kill the sexual offender in order to defend their bodies and freedom. From another perspective, only the victim himself can judge his own situation.At the same time, if a man fathers himself by forcing a woman to bear a child, it can be said that the child has no father at all. The physical differences between males and females thus lead us to a third conclusion: their strength is only superficial, and in fact they are dependent on their weaker counterpart.

This conclusion is not because men are used to courting women, nor is it because men are in a position to protect others by virtue of their own strength and show tolerance, but are determined by the laws of nature. The laws of nature can easily arouse a man's sexual desire without satisfying it, and a man who wants to satisfy his physical desires must try to please the woman and take her pleasure as his pleasure.Whether a man likes to do it or not, he has to do it so that women will acknowledge them willingly. The sweetest feeling for men is whether their own triumphs are due to women conceding to their power, or women willingly submitting to them, a mystery women often cunningly keep a secret for men to guess.

At this point, women's confidence matches the physique they possess.They are weak, but instead of being ashamed of it, they are proud of it. Their delicate bodies lack resistance, and they can't even lift the lightest objects. If a woman has a big waist, a round waist, and boundless strength, it is shameful for a woman. why?On the one hand, a weak woman looks graceful, on the other hand, and most importantly, this weakness is also a kind of defense, which she can use as an excuse to use it as a reason not to engage in certain things at the right time. A shield for this behavior. As far as sex is concerned, men and women are completely unequal.Men play the role that men should play at certain times, while women play the role from the beginning to the end, at least in their youth.

Whatever reminds them of their identity as women, at the same time, in order to better play the role of this identity, they need a suitable constitution, that is, a weak body.Women need to be taken care of during pregnancy, adequate rest during confinement, and quiet cultivation during feeding. She needs patience and care to raise children, and she needs to love children with strength and enthusiasm beyond anyone else. They are the messengers connecting the children and their fathers. Only she can make a man love the child and make him confirm that he is the father of the child. .In order to maintain the harmony of the family, she needs to pay much more patience and effort than men. She must do all this for her own pleasure, not moral imperatives.Otherwise, human beings will not be able to maintain society, let alone reproduce. In, Plato proposed that women should also undergo the same physical training as men.He abolished the family as an organization, but he didn't think about where to place women, so he had to train women into men. Plato is indeed a genius. Regarding this theory, his exposition is very detailed and wonderful. He even foresees that some people may raise objections to his theory, but he ignores the objections in real life. In this book, I don't intend to do too much discussion on Plato's theory. People blame him on this issue, mostly because people don't understand his theory. Here, what I want to say is that let men and women of two different genders and different physiques do the same thing and take on the same responsibilities. This kind of social division of labor design ignores the inherent differences between them and sacrifices human beings. The most primitive and most simple emotion, what a hypocritical and contrived behavior! Because men and women are emotionally very different, they should be educated differently.According to the law of nature, men and women must have a clear division of labor, but they were in a cooperative relationship before each other.Emile had grown up according to the laws of nature, and now it was time for him to learn how to be a competent companion. Only by acting in strict accordance with the laws of nature can we maintain the right direction.Gender differences between men and women are innate and we must respect them.Maybe you will say this, look at those women, they have flaws everywhere, inside and out, but these flaws do not exist in men at all. I want to say that your prejudices will lead you astray sooner or later. Women's shortcomings may be their strengths, which can help them accomplish many things that men cannot. Even women themselves often complain about their gender.They said they wouldn't be the coquettish coquettes they are now without men.They also said that the reason why men use gadgets to please them is purely to control them and make them their own appendages. This argument is simply too domineering.In the education of girls, mothers play an important role, while men have little involvement in their upbringing.Their ostentation and grooming are entirely under the influence of their mothers, and have nothing to do with men. If you educate girls in the same way you educate boys, I think many men will agree.Because the more they act like men, the less they can control men's hearts.In this way, the man will firmly occupy the position of the master. All human abilities are not equally distributed to men and women, but to allow them to complement each other.If a woman wants to realize her own value, she has to do her own duty.On the contrary, it is a waste of their ability to make them do what men do. As a wise mother, you must never raise your daughter as a boy, but tell her that as a girl, she should speak and act in a girl's way. Doing so will not only benefit her own growth, but also It is also good for others. Does this mean raising her to be a housekeeper who doesn't care about anything but housework?Does this mean that a man can kill her social gifts and make her his slave?Does this mean that a man can drive her at will and prevent her from getting in touch with new things? If you think so, you are very wrong.Nature, having endowed her with such a bright mind and such a pure heart, would not allow this to happen.Nature will cultivate her mind like her body, so that she has the ability to think, judge and recognize things independently. When nature deprived her of her strong body, she gave her new weapons, so that she could conquer the hearts of men.There are too many things they don't know, but they have to choose when they are learning. Considering the special callings and duties of women, the method of education chosen for them must be suitable for them.Both men and women are made for each other, but they depend on each other differently. Men depend on women because women can satisfy their desires; women depend on men because men can satisfy their needs as well as their desires. So it is easier and better for a man without a woman than a woman without a man.A woman cannot function without the help of a man.Women's dependence on men is very strong, including men's emotions, affirmation of their abilities and respect for their charm. Whether it is themselves or their children, they must rely on men to make evaluations. This is a natural law, not an artificial regulation.They deserve the respect of others and need to be respected by others; they are beautiful and need to be praised by others; they are full of wisdom and need to be appreciated by others. What brings them glory is not only their behavior, but also their reputation.Therefore, the way of educating girls is completely opposite to the way of educating boys, because for men, the evaluation of others will destroy their virtues, while for women, the evaluation of others will promote their good qualities development. At birth, the physical fitness of children depends on their mothers.Likewise, their initial education came from their mothers.Men's tastes, desires, morals, pleasures, and happiness are closely related to women.Therefore, the education of girls should be centered on men. Let them know how to please men, how to help men, how to get love and respect from men; when men are young, women should raise them, and when they grow up, women should take care of them, give them advice and comfort , let them live a happy life. These are the duties of a woman and the main content of educating girls.
