Hey guys its nikki. It woun't let me comment on the question titled Mai Quotness so here is my response.

NIKKI- I think that Chinese hudbands kept their wives out of the outside life and happenings, because males were considered more dominant to females. I think that they feared if women were aloud to go out to the outside life than women would think that they were equal to males. Remember during this time, all females were exspected to do was to cook, clean and take care of the househodl and children, and this has been taught through out many generations. This means that women were taught from birth that they had no rights, and that there was no outside world, but if they were aloud to the outside world than women would feel differently about how women should be treated and what their duties should be.
