I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Li Zhao was really speechless: "Some dogmatists, elementary school mathematics tells you that sampling should be random, diverse, and extensive. The more samples you take, the more credible the data is."

"Can you please use your brains and stop blindly taking foreign books as your guide?"

"This is China. The basic national conditions of China and other countries are different!"

"We cannot simply copy and paste foreign things into China!"

"Marxism-Leninism says that theory should be combined with practice. Did you guys swat mosquitoes during the ideological and political class?"

"If you randomly survey people on the street, the results will be more reliable than the data in this book."

Li Zhao also told the audience in the live broadcast room: "This book is a typical elite narrative, looking at the world and problems from the perspective of the elites. It is ultimately just a theory."

"It was born in a capitalist country, and the situation it describes is very inconsistent with the actual situation in China."

"It surveys the elites and college students, who have money and free time. Do ordinary people have that?"

"Elites have social activities, so they have to spend money on image management. The British royal family also has makeup artists."

"They focus on cost and benefits when doing things, but most ordinary people consider cost first when they consume."

Qingluan said helplessly: "Chinese people have a problem, they are thrifty."

"We usually choose things that are good quality and cheap, and we pay great attention to cost, but foreigners are not like that. They grew up in capitalist countries and are deeply brainwashed by consumerism, but we are not like that!"

Li Zhao said: "I have to go back to talk about something here. Why is it that women are required to wear makeup in the workplace, but men are required not to wear makeup?"

"This involves the division of gender roles between men and women in a patriarchal society, that is, the construction of a binary gender order. It is a gender binary society with different disciplines and requirements for masculinity and femininity."

Li Zhao continued: "The patriarchal society has different disciplines for men and women, and the time, energy, and money that men and women spend on their respective disciplines are also different."

“To compare the intuitive benefits lost by men and women due to social discipline, should we make a comprehensive comparison?”

"You must have heard this before, 'If you're a man, drink this cup', 'Have a cigarette', 'Why do men wear makeup? You look like a sissy.'"

"This statement hides the discipline that patriarchal society imposes on men. Men are not allowed to wear makeup, and men must be able to smoke and drink."

Li Zhao said: "In a patriarchal society, women are disciplined to wear makeup to maintain their femininity and not to smoke or drink. However, men are disciplined not to wear makeup to maintain their masculinity and not to smoke or drink."

"Just assume that every woman follows social norms and every man follows social norms."

"You know that women spend more on beauty than men, but women rarely touch cigarettes and alcohol."

"Then do you know how much men spend on cigarettes and alcohol?"

The audience in the barrage were a little dumbfounded.

[Sikongzhu who loves potato cakes]: Oh, I don’t know! I don’t smoke or drink.

Li Zhao said slowly: "I asked a boy at random, and his monthly expenses on cigarettes and alcohol were about 300 to 500."

There was an uproar in the barrage.

[Ping Xiaoyu]: Huh?! So scary?!

Li Zhao added: "This data does not count. Let's calculate specifically how much a male college student spends on cigarettes and alcohol in a month."

"Assuming a male college student smokes one cigarette each morning, noon and evening, that's a bit more, four cigarettes a day, a pack of 20 cigarettes, that's six packs a month."

"Cigarettes cost from 6 yuan to 12, 15, or even 50 yuan a pack. The 6 yuan cigarettes are of poor quality. I asked the supermarket and they said the best cigarettes they buy are 12 or 15 yuan a pack."

"Even if male college students buy cigarettes for 12 yuan a pack, they spend at least 72 yuan a month on cigarettes."

"If he drinks a little every day, even if he drinks the cheapest beer, the best-selling and most popular beer on Pinduoduo is 50 yuan for 24 cans, so he spends at least 60 yuan a month."

"To sum up, the amount of money that male college students spend on cigarettes and alcohol in a month, rounded up, is at least 130."

Li Zhao returned to the lazy sofa in the system space and sipped his tea: "We are also subject to social discipline and have to maintain each other's temperament. Female college students put on makeup every day, spending at least 60 a month, and male college students smoke and drink every day, spending at least 130 a month."

"That's the money they paid for their respective disciplines."

"What do you think is more horrible: the discipline of women and men in a patriarchal society, or the financial harm done to men and women?"

Li Zhao snorted and laughed: "If women are not born to pursue beauty, but are disciplined by society to pursue beauty, so women's pursuit of beauty and makeup are serving beauty, then are men born to love smoking and drinking?"

"Smoking and drinking are also harmful to health, and are even more harmful than putting on makeup. If putting on makeup and pursuing beauty is serving beauty, then what are men doing when they smoke and drink? Serve as a slave to smoking and drinking?"
