"Only Thirty" has recently become popular in the mainland. In the play, Jiang Shuying, Tong Yao and Mao Xiaotong interpret the three lives of 30-year-old urban women from three different classes and the three difficulties they face. Among the three heroines, the full-time wife Gu Jia, played by Tong Yao, has always been the first to search.

The value myth that women in the workplace are superior to their full-time wives is that society cannot see or respect the labor value of full-time wives. But in fact, housework has no income, but it is still important value, including in the daily life of husband and wife, as a basis for supporting its economy. In the United States, housewives are more of a formal occupational category. Many European and American countries have also introduced housework evaluation theories. Women in the workplace and housewives will receive the same recognition and respect for their labor.

It's a pity that although Gu Jia of "Thirty Only" makes people look forward to the full-time wife, she is actually a "business woman" behind the scenes who advises her husband's business. Can our audience and society accept that a woman takes "family" as her career and recognize her labor value? In recent years, many social science researches have mentioned that the family business is not as simple as washing dishes and sweeping the floor as everyone thinks. A full-time wife may have to deal with conflicts in family relations like a senior publicist, and be responsible for the maintenance of family miscellaneous items like an office manager. , Pay attention to the development of children like a psychologist, but these difficulties and efforts are easy to be ignored.

Policy determines women's choice

The second myth that women are inferior to the workplace at home is the misunderstanding of achieving gender equality. China’s protection for full-time wives is insufficient, so that they are dependent on their husbands and cannot survive if they are abandoned. However, many countries provide full-time wives with sound protection, which affirms and respects their value, and allows women to freely choose to enter and leave the workplace or leave the family according to their interests and needs.

Taking Japan as an example, the government not only promoted the "spouse tax reduction" policy in the formulation of the income tax law, and many Japanese companies in order to make up for the loss of family income caused by the employees' wives raising children, especially to provide family allowances to such employees. A husband who pays a pension insurance can protect the lives of the couple. Therefore, even if Japanese housewives do not go to work, they do not have to worry about social security issues. European and American countries have introduced the theory of housework evaluation. For this reason, they have formulated complete policies for maintenance and stable welfare guarantees, endowed mothers with due respect and position, and gradually established a compound property system to protect the economy of the party engaged in housework during divorce. interest. The meaning behind this is that the society recognizes and respects their value and labor as full-time wives.

For women, equality certainly does not mean driving all women from their families to the workplace, but respecting women's right to choose life in any environment they like. Similarly, for men, working to support their families is not necessarily their home. We also need to respect the full-time husband. Men and women who choose freely and devote themselves to love are the most charming, and society should create an environment of tolerance and respect for this.
