In addition, the hosts shed light on the complex subjects of "大男人主義" (male chauvinism) and "重男輕女" (gender bias favoring boys) that prevail in Chinese society. They discuss the societal preference for having a baby boy over a baby girl and how it impacts family dynamics. Furthermore, they delve into the perception that once a girl is married, she is often considered like water spilled on the floor, gradually disconnected from her birth family.
