Why is it that the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart?

First, ideological factors.

Influenced by the Confucian thought of "men are superior to women", ancient women demanded a lot. Compared with men, women's status is underground, which requires them to "obey three virtues". Even Confucius once said that "only women are hard to raise."

Second, women's personal factors

Compared with men, women are petite and weak, and it is impossible to achieve their goals by force. At that time, under the background that men were superior to women, we could only work hard.

Third, the status factor

The typical pattern in ancient China was that men provided for their families and women educated their husbands and children. Men have the right to make decisions in family and society, and any resistance of women will be regarded as a challenge to authority and a poisonous woman.
