The equality and justice of Confucian thought is not the true equality and justice.

In the culture of ancient China, it emphasizes on Confucius thought. Confucius is the people in 2500 years ago. Confucian thought affect the government of history Chinese dynasties. It also affects the government of Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand in history. In the history, the authority of male likes to use Confucian thought to stress its legitimacy in governing. However, the concept of equality and justice is standing on the angle of thought of male, not female.

 

Confucian thought is really despising female. Unfortunately, even today, there is the authority of male who are positive to promote the Confucian thought and regard the Confucian thought as a representative of Chinese culture. As a woman, in my opinion, I do not think it is an honorable thing. The women of the history are pressed and bullied because of the Confucian thought. Unfortunately, it is still affecting the eastern woman in the modern time.   

 

In other word, the equality and justice of Confucian thought is not the true equality and justice. In fact, it is only some kind of equality and justice under some kind of conditions. That is, it must be correspond to the concept or thought of male, and thus there is the equality and justice. Do you have found such concept or thought is existed everywhere on earth?
