04356 - Gender Awareness

The concept of gender in the modern cultivation world is generally very vague. When strangers meet, they first look at their cultivation base, second their occupation, and third their sect. The order of these three can often be exchanged, but the first three are usually them. Less will be a priority.

Low-level monks, specifically the qi training and foundation building period, are more sensitive to gender, because in the low-level cultivation stage, mainly during the qi training period, the difference in physical fitness between men and women will also affect combat effectiveness to a certain extent, and qi training During the foundation building period, there were more exchanges with the mortal world, and they were more easily influenced by the way of thinking in the mortal world.But the higher one's cultivation level is, especially after the golden core period, gender has almost no analysis value.

Precisely because the Jindan period is a dividing line, the gender awareness of the low-level and third-rate sects is relatively heavier, half of the second-rate sects are half, and the gender sensitivity of the top ten is low to zero most of the time. Two special cases.

One is Jianzong, and their Manzong pure men are joking.Equal treatment of men and women does not mean that girls are willing to be called men. The girls of Jianzong said: "Our figure is much better than those rough guys!"

Rough guys in Jianzong: "...No, you despise us for our ugly face and rough skin, but when it comes to our figure, our figure is fine, strong and well-proportioned with lines. It's just that the direction of good figure is not the same as yours That's all."

It's a pity that the male figures admired by the girls of Jianzong have never been their own models, they admire Zhongsumen's sword repair.

Hey, yes, I still admire sword repair, just to annoy myself.

Another special case is of course the Yanxingmen.Because the original intention of the Yanxing sect was to protect female cultivators, that is, it was a sect based on gender, so this gender awareness has always been rooted in their inheritance.Disciples of Yanxing Sect may not always show that consciousness, but they are always more vigilant about it than outsiders.

The disciples of this all-female sect have three attitudes towards men: first, they are similar to female cultivators of other sects, they don’t care about men and women, they only care about friends and enemies, this kind of modernity occupies the mainstream of Yanxing sect; second, they are particularly interested in men; Third, I am particularly disgusted with men.

The second and third categories show different proportions in different periods. Sometimes the second category is stronger, sometimes the third category is dominant, and most of the time the two categories are evenly matched.

The third category is either not looking for a lover or a Taoist companion, if it is looking for a woman, it is almost impossible to fall in love with a man, that is, Uncle Long is definitely not in this category.

The first category of finding lovers and Taoist couples chooses the same direction as other female cultivators. The probability of men and women is almost the same, but it is also the same as other female cultivators. If you are interested in dual cultivation of love, you will look for it at a low cultivation level. If you find it, you may continue the relationship. At the Nascent Soul Stage, but I didn't look for it before, and waited until the Nascent Soul Stage to look for it. The probability is too low.My mother was looking for my father back then, if there hadn't been an accident, she would have only thought of a one-night stand, and hadn't considered a long-term relationship at all.

04357-Black History

Only the second type may suddenly want to start a new relationship after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. However, half of this type prefers to be the strong side in the relationship, and prefers weak men—sometimes looking for female lovers— There is no such number among the master's apprentices; the other half may look at Uncle Long from the perspective of aesthetic preferences...middle-aged poor swordsman, but...

Me: "Uncle Long, I remember that you have a dark history in Yanxingmen?"

Master Long discriminated against female cultivators during the foundation building period, and was blacklisted by Yan Xingmen.If Yan Xingmen can look at this matter from a macro perspective, then they will find that at that time Master Long discriminated against everyone except himself, and it was also at that time that he married my father. Pay the debt for the frivolity at that time.

However, Yan Xing's disciples are sometimes unreasonable in terms of gender discrimination. If they commit a crime once, they will be blacklisted for life, and they will not be given the opportunity to correct their sins and redeem their sins.

Master Long: "Hmm..."

Me: "The senior you want to fall in love with now must have the same cultivation level as you, so when you offended Yan Xingmen back then, your cultivation level might be similar to her... Could it be her who you discriminated against back then? "

Uncle Long: "No. My vision is relatively stable. I didn't like it before, and I still don't like it now. For example... In short, it's not her."

Me: "But didn't you dislike everything back then?"

Uncle Long: "Don't keep listening to your master's nonsense, he doesn't have a clue. I'm surprised that the old man told you the dark history of his apprentices, why everyone else told you, but he just told you avoid your father?"

Me: "Maybe it's because after I was born, among all the apprentices, the master was the only one who couldn't beat my father? Think about it, the master told me a dark history about my father, and my father put him under the precepts and punishments." Years. Sour. Relatively speaking, there is no sequelae of laughing at you, and now looking at Master Long, your cultivation level will not exceed that of the ancestor for at least a few hundred years."

Uncle Long: "Don't predict lightly, accidents are everywhere."

Me: "Well, I take my uncle as a lesson."

Uncle Long: "The disciple of the Yanxing sect that I offended back then is called Qin Jiangqian, and now he is at the peak of Jindan, and the fellow Taoist I want to fall in love with is called Qin Yisheng, and he is now in the early stage of Yuanying."

I:"……"

Uncle Long: "You know both of them? They are both your fans."

04358 - Prejudice

Me: "Well, I also know that the two of them are distant relatives, very distant relatives. Although the blood relationship is weak, in the cultivation world, there is still a natural sense of closeness, that is, it is easy to agree with others. The enemy of a certain person, It is their common enemy."

Uncle Long: "Actually, it's not to the extent of being an enemy? Yes, I was insulting Qin Jiangqian back then, saying that she's a girl, get out of the way and don't get in the way", but why did Yan Xingmen interpret this as sexism on me? In that situation back then, even if your father stood in front of me, I would have told him to 'get the trash out of the way'...cough."

Master Long: "Anyway, I didn't discriminate against Qin Jiangqian because of my gender."

Me: "Maybe it's because you used 'girl film' as the subject? If you just said 'trash', maybe they wouldn't take it to heart. Speaking of it, when you used this word back then, you really didn't have any gender in mind. Is there an inherent impression? For example, girls are weaker than boys?"

Uncle Long: "Yes, but at that time, Qin Jiangqian was indeed the weakest one in our group, and the one with the most obvious female characteristics. At that time, there were two other women in the same company, one was Jianzong. Yes, needless to say, man, she is pure; the other is a casual cultivator, all in jet black, compared to her gender, my first reaction is to suspect that she is inhuman."

Me: "Sect discrimination, racial discrimination."

Master Long: "... Is this too much?"

Me: "It's nothing. Everyone has some inherent impressions of unfamiliar things. This kind of impression is very biased and incomplete. It will exaggerate most of the characteristics and make people who hold this kind of impression have excessive affection or dislike. It is not objective, and it is unavoidable. People have no way to fully understand everything in the world, so they must be biased against some things, and prejudice will lead to discrimination."

Me: "The narrower the person's perception of the world, the more prone to prejudice."

Master Long: "..."

Me: "I don't mean you in particular."

Master Long: "You also have prejudice against me."

Me: "So I say it's inevitable."

Me: "Many people are used to living in places with various prejudices, such as thinking that sword cultivators are rude, beast masters and planters don't like cleanliness, Danxiu is arrogant, Confucianism cultivators are indifferent... These are all prejudices. Most People, including the parties involved, have become accustomed to these prejudices and will not care about them with laymen, but they don't care about them, which doesn't mean that Yan Xingmen's care about them is stingy."

04359 - Offended

Me: "This needs to be evaluated from a historical perspective. Gender discrimination has brought women a lot of suffering in history. Until now, the low-level circles in the mortal world and the cultivation world have not solved this chronic disease. This is not the pure man of Jianzong I remember the kind of stupid words that the female nuns can turn over when they get angry, and this is full of pain. The pain should not be joked."

Me: "Because of gender issues, senior Qin Jiangqian almost failed to embark on the path of cultivation, so when she performed a mission on behalf of Yanxingmen for the first time to a certain extent, you showed sexism, which is very important to her." It's uncomfortable, and I can't blame her for being too sensitive. Especially, she did a poor job in this task later on. "

Master Long: "It's not my fault that she did a bad job, and I didn't trip him up."

Me: "But when you saw her doing a bad job, the attitude you showed was 'I told you to be obedient and stop moving around, and something happened on your own initiative? It should be'."

Uncle Long: "That has nothing to do with gender discrimination. I discriminate against the weak, especially those who are overwhelmed. I also discriminate now."

Me: "Do you still want to chase after girls? If you want to, what good will it do you if you continue to offend her best friend?"

Uncle Long: "... Tell me. Wait, do you know women very well?"

Me: "Why does it feel so strange to ask this question from Yuanying stage? Doesn't the indifferent appearance of Yuanying stage contain indifferent gender characteristics? You can also transform into a female body yourself."

The disciples of Hehuan Sect around couldn't help laughing out loud, which Master Long heard.

Uncle Long, who had already walked in front of me, looked around with an unkind expression.

Me: "Don't bully Hehuanzong because of small problems, this is my mother's natal family, I covered it, and when I was powerless, it was my father who covered it."

Uncle Long: "Did you never fight with disciples of the Hehuan Sect?"

Me: "Communication is not the same as bullying."

Master Long: "It's impossible for me to kill them."

Me: "I sincerely advise you not to do anything. If you want to find a Taoist partner, it won't matter if you don't offend the Acacia Sect; but if you want to find a friend with sex or a short-term lover, it will be very dangerous to offend the Acacia Sect. The influence of the Acacia Sect You may not understand well, anyway, you should think as high as possible.”
