For several hundred years since the founding of the Great Chang, and even eight hundred years in the previous dynasty, and further back almost two thousand years, there were very few instances of women in political power. This has led to the deep-rooted idea of male supremacy, not only ingrained in the minds of men but also in the minds of women.
As long as someone wanted to jump out and do something different, the first to disagree was the women. This was because they had determined their position and wouldn't allow anyone to destroy them. They did not want to change anything.
Not many people had the courage to jump out of their current circle and enter another level of life.
For some men, they don't mind women sharing the responsibilities of the household and are even willing to have women go out to earn money while also taking care of raising children.
