1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"So the lack of any women's rights organizations in Northeast China isn't just due to obstruction by traditional forces within Japan?"

"As long as it doesn't involve core issues, there's nothing the country can do to stop me now. I don't establish it because I don't want this kind of privileged organization to be born from my hands in the future.

“I never discriminate against women, but I also never look down on them. I won’t put any obstacles in their way of doing any work, but I won’t give them any preferential treatment either… No, both men and women are equal;

"Men work in mines, so do women. Women can work as shop assistants, so can men. You get what you give, no exceptions, only fairness.

Mark hooked his hand to the agent behind him:

"Anyone who claims they deserve special treatment because of their gender should take a piss first and look in the mirror to see if they are more talented and have made greater contributions than the girls under my command."

Glancing at the calm agent first, then back at the smiling UMP45, Li Desheng readily admitted this:

"You've convinced me...part of it...Comrade He Baozhen's request for special funds to establish a specialized girls' school is indeed inappropriate, but you're also being a bit radical."

"Excessive? You mean..."

"Since we must seek truth from facts, I believe you should acknowledge the inherent disadvantages of women in certain areas, and as a socialist country, we should provide appropriate care."

Teacher, teacher, you admit this, but others will only admit it when they are trying to evade their responsibilities and obligations and gain benefits and profits.

Women's rights?

Just a privilege.

Mark sighed and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked a question: "Comrade Desheng, how is your Ms. Ding Ling now?"

555 Maternal equality and exploitation

"Ding Ling?"

Li Desheng was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to why Mark would ask about the woman who had caused such a big mess for the CCP at this time. After thinking for a while, he reluctantly replied:

"You should have heard about the assassination of Ms. Field from Comrade Shiwu, right? After that, he left Nanchang and didn't pay much attention to it..."

MN

After that, I also left Nanchang, hehe.

"..I heard that...it seems like he's been released. He's currently under house arrest, right?...What's going on?"

Ding Ling was just not worth the attention of Li Desheng, who was busy with all kinds of affairs, so he really didn't know much about her.

Although Wu Hao and others initially wanted to teach Ding Ling a severe lesson and stop her from causing trouble, after Chuntian left, they considered that it was not worth breaking the rules they had set for Ding Ling, so they released her after basically clearing her of suspicion.

Otherwise, even cases involving secrets and espionage will involve the issue of "excessive detention". The Chinese Communist Party is now urgently revising the law to fill similar loopholes.

"Then I'm curious: if Ding Ling wasn't a woman, not the so-called 'new-era intellectual woman' that the CCP wants to portray her as, how much punishment would she have received for causing so much trouble and disobeying orders? Would she have been sentenced?"

Li Desheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head matter-of-factly.

"You're right, I must admit that. If she wasn't Ding Ling, she might have been called back and arrested the first time she went to the Northeast to cause trouble.

"You see, this is privilege, and it's a terrible privilege that has nothing to do with her position of power - gender privilege.

Mark shrugged and poured Li Desheng a cup of hot tea to dispel the cold wind from the grassland:

"Any favoritism or favouritism, even if initially well-intentioned and pragmatic, will eventually evolve into a form of privilege, especially when it favours women. Confucius said, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise,' and there is some truth to that."

Li Desheng almost called her "feudal thinking," but after thinking about Ding Ling's logic and behavior, which were so inexplicable that they couldn't be explained by reason or thinking, and thinking about UMP45's usual behavior, he decided not to criticize her.

Moreover, although there were some confidentiality concerns about the CCP's repeated "favoritism" towards Ding Ling, it was indeed wrong for them to do so. The comrades involved probably had some thoughts when they saw it.

"I'll discuss Ding Lin's case with my colleagues, but you're being a bit too absolute. Women have inherent physiological issues, and we must face them squarely. Absolute fairness will lead to absolute unfairness."

"That's true, but people can't just talk about fairness when they're benefiting themselves. Many of our lesbians are like that. Let me give you an example!"

Mark thought of the mess that happened in the recent civil service exam and sneered:

"You know, we never limit gender when recruiting civil servants. The Liaoning Mineral Resources Administration is recruiting for a certain position. Before the recruitment, it was specifically stated in the job description that this position requires frequent downhole work and the conditions are difficult, so women are not recommended to apply.

"Hey, guess what? Maybe it was the phrase 'not recommended for women to apply' that got them excited, but a bunch of women are actually signing up!"

"I have to say, women do have a more general advantage when it comes to studying and taking exams. Five women actually passed the exam... Oh, there was even a member of the Communist Party of China, with a fairly high level of education... And guess what?"

"The first time we went down the mine, one of us was making a fuss and refused to go down. After the third time, only one woman was still gritting her teeth and persisting. After the fifth time, everyone asked to be replaced, saying we didn't respect women..."

"I admit that the conditions in the mines are indeed very difficult. I would not have wanted to go down if I could avoid it, but I went down anyway, just to see with my own eyes what those male miners who have been working there for years are really doing! What exactly is required!"

"The conditions were clearly stated before I came, but after I arrived, I realized I couldn't stand it anymore, so I started talking to myself about disrespect, unfairness, and women's rights."

"Since we want equal rights, why not give it a try? What's the result? Hey! That's what some women mean by 'equal rights' and 'fairness'!"

What does equal rights mean in the eyes of female boxers?

Equal rights are those that are completely beneficial to me and can be obtained without any effort. Otherwise, it is "oppressing women" and "infringing on women's rights."

MN

Li Desheng remained silent, unable to refute with arguments such as "this is an isolated case".

Because similar things have happened to the Chinese Communist Party before.

As mentioned earlier, after the occupation of Nanchang, a number of party members and cadres only wanted to stay in cities with better conditions and were unwilling to work in remote rural areas. Some people even tried to instigate senior officials such as Deng Yingchao to seek special treatment, forcing the CCP to launch the vigorous Nanchang Rectification Movement.

What do you think the gender ratio is like?

I never thought about it before, and even if I did, I would have explained it away as "gender differences." But now that I think about it, it seems to be exactly the same as what happened in Northeast China.

It seems that no matter whether it is the Communist Party, the Japanese or the Kuomintang, they cannot change some inherent problems. It seems that something is wrong.

"How did you resolve this?

"This matter finally came to me, and I was relatively tolerant and generous. I gave them two choices: one, continue working in the mines and continuing to work as civil servants without being affected; two, resign on their own and I won't hold them accountable... If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Well... If I really can't stand going down the mine, I will definitely choose the second option. If I want to continue to be a civil servant, then I will grit my teeth and choose the first option.

"Look, this is you, rational but not seeking privilege.

Mark pointed at Li Desheng and said with a smile:

“But they were different, they chose three and four.

“Three and four?

"Three is, there are three women who are trying to find connections everywhere, begging and pleading, asking their husbands or others to intercede with the high-ranking officials. The most powerful one actually found Chen Geng here, hahahahahaha."

Li Desheng was speechless.

Let's not talk about how Chen Geng was a social butterfly, but when he talked about people in front of the highest authority in Northeast China,

情?

Maybe he didn't know that he was the one who gave the order?

"What's the four?"

"Fourth, there were two women who refused to leave their jobs, nor did they resign. They simply stayed put.

"ah??"

"Ah, what? That's what they did. So I fired those three directly. As for the remaining two, not only did I fire them, I also banned them from taking civil service exams or undertaking state-owned unit projects for three generations. A relative of a civil servant was implicated and fired as well.

Mark raised a finger and shook it:

"Oh, these three generations not only refer to herself and her children and grandchildren, but also her brothers and sisters, their children and grandchildren.

It can be called a "family annihilation plan".

As long as Fujiwara no Kanezane does not fall, and as long as he is not a so-called aristocratic family, it can be said that it is completely over after all this turmoil - at least it is definitely completely over in the state-owned system.

To be honest, Mark himself was shocked after this happened.

In later generations, such naive women are indeed everywhere. For example, there is a certain idiot who just checks his phone and does no work at the beginning of his job, and even dares to report to the Discipline Inspection Commission that the company is "favoritism and fraud" when she is not included in the year-end performance evaluation.

But in this day and age, there are so many of them, and they are all clustered in one place.

You know, these days, let alone this kind of nonsense, women can be legally fired for getting pregnant!

Dr. Lin Qiaozhi, a future academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a leading figure in obstetrics and gynecology, had just agreed to work in Northeast China because she couldn't stand the "dismissal if pregnant" clause in her contract with Union Hospital.

This is a doctorate that is rarer than diamonds these days, and yet they are treated like this. Don't those stupid women think that if they cry and make a scene, the higher-ups will relent and let them keep their jobs and not have to go to hell?

哭?

Crying also takes time.

Sure enough, some things have nothing to do with the times.

Cai Changtong was sincere in selling the goods and never deceived me.

"hiss"

Li Desheng couldn't help but gasp.

Is the punishment so severe?

It's almost the same as "Exterminating Nine Clans"!

To be honest, the CCP doesn't treat criminals so harshly; they usually just punish the person themselves at most!

No wonder many "undercover comrades" reported that "some Japanese regulations and management are so rigid and inhumane" and even "carry remnants of feudalism"!

"This... I think, punishing her alone is enough, right?

"Haha, those who want to be officials and eat the government's food, a brick thrown on the streets of Shenyang can knock down four or five people. I never worry about not being able to find people to "serve the people." I've given them opportunities, more than once. Who can you blame for not cherishing them?

Is it not easy for the country to train a cadre?

Don't make trouble.

Putting aside the fact that there's basically no such thing as "state-trained cadres" these days, to put it mildly, if you give a person a fair chance, anyone who wants to be a cadre can go from being illiterate to being a learned scholar in just a few months!

Mark continued to sneer:

"Comrade Desheng, you're good in every way except that you're too kindhearted. This loophole must never be opened. Today they can use gender as an excuse to get the privilege of not going down the well, and tomorrow they'll dare to disregard justice under the guise of 'caring for women.' Believe it or not!"

Li Desheng had not been particularly aware of "gender privilege" before, and he didn't know that female boxing in later generations would be so obsessed that terms such as "mother equality" and "mother inspection law" were born, but he believed in the development trend predicted by Mark's words.

Just as he historically opposed Zhao Ziqi's advocacy of "first introducing capital to develop the economy and then controlling it" and said that the other party "underestimated capitalism", he also knew how dangerous it was to make concessions on the issue of fairness.

Whether it is "finding connections" or "refusing to leave", this loophole must not be opened - once it is opened, it will be difficult to stop, so it must be stopped with extremely severe measures.

"So I have only one attitude towards everything: fairness. I don't care whether you are a man or a woman, I treat everyone the same. Don't think that you will get preferential treatment just because you are a woman or a man, Japanese or Chinese."

The commander's attitude determines the attitude of the doll. President Springfield did the same thing in the United States, and thus won a large number of male fans.

for example.

There is a general named Arthur Radford in the US Navy, whose philosophy is:

I don't care if you're a man or a woman, as long as I have soldiers to fight, that's all I need!

Don't tell me that "women can't go to the battlefield", I don't see men.

As long as you can fight or show your prowess in other areas, I will look at you with respect. Otherwise, get out!

It just so happens that Chun Yutian is just like this, satisfying the two fantasies of men for "power" and "beauty". So even though she is a woman, she is pursued crazily by a group of men.

The President is indeed the sun of the United States.

Back to the topic

“It is right to treat everyone equally.

Li Desheng nodded and shook his head:

"But the Mastiff cannot be an excuse for not protecting women's rights. Take going down wells, for example. Women are indeed not suitable for going down wells. This has been proven by facts.

The CCP also had small mines and salt wells, and there were also female comrades who were unwilling to lag behind and were brave enough to go down the mines, but basically none of them persisted. It was not because of lack of willpower, but because their physical conditions really did not allow it.

Whether it is menstrual issues, physical strength issues or privacy issues (in order to avoid damaging their clothes, many miners work naked), when women do this kind of work, even if other conditions are the same, they are naturally inferior to men, and this is indisputable.

From the perspective of women and men, forcing them to go down the well infringes on their right to life and health. It also infringes on their and their husbands' reproductive rights due to damage to their uterus.

From a national perspective, the resources required to treat the illnesses women suffer from working in the mines far outweigh the benefits of their labor. In comparison, men's labor is much more efficient and less expensive.

Therefore, Li Desheng is not saying that "women are not suitable for working in mines", but from a purely rational perspective, "the risks brought by women working in mines are too high, the benefits and costs are completely disproportionate, and this affects the liberation of productivity."

"That brings us to another core issue: responsibilities and rights, or in other words, give and take."

As if anticipating what Li Desheng would say, Mark smoothly continued:

“If we don’t acknowledge women’s biological disadvantages, then we must all be treated equally, work together, and share the fruits and rewards. But this is obviously impossible…”
