When men are asked what the characteristics of an ideal woman or girlfriend are, what will they say? A survey was conducted by a TV program in China. They randomly choose some men on the street and ask them which is the ideal girl they have in mind. According to the survey, 45% of men believe that the ideal partner should be a good and ethical wife and mother. This is the most common and popular requirement. Another thirty-two percent men in demand for characteristics such as femininity, kindness and amiability; Ten percent of men wanted thrifty, like-minded women. However, beauty, intelligence, higher education and a successful career are minor issues in the survey result. (Yi) I agree with Arthur Brisbane's saying, knowledge and education are necessary and meaningful for women. As the result shows, there is still a small percentage of men who crave a highly educated wife. Not only in this survey, but also in real life, people seem to care more about a woman's first sight and feelings, which would be her moral behavior, and not her intelligence level. There is no doubt that education in general is essential for women, but if we go into specifics, the moral education of women weighs more than intellectual education. The influence of women's moral education began very early in history. The early Chinese moral education of women was about obedience and maintaining an inferior position, and of course other morally favorable behaviors such as being honest and humane. In the palace, the older servants taught the younger ones how to behave correctly in front of the emperor, to avoid torture and death. They were not allowed to look directly into the eyes of the nobles while speaking to them; they also could not transform their…half of paper…a woman's moral education through their way of eating, sitting, standing, and speaking. Didn't your mother warn you not to make any noise while eating soup? Especially if you are a girl, you should behave like a lady. All these behavioral rules of your mother come from their moral upbringing, and hopefully, you will pass these moral habits on to your children. Education in general, meaning the moral and intellectual education of women is influential and important. Furthermore, women deserve greater moral education because this makes for better women, better children, and ultimately, a better society. Works Cited Yi, Shu. "Ideal women". Yi Shu's BLOG.
