The writer Ping Lu has made an interesting point in noting that the Chinese description of the ideal family as including "a benevolent father, filial sons, kindly elder brothers, and respectful younger brothers" illustrates a kind of cultural logic in which women are excluded.
作家平路曾經指出，從我們對「家」的意像描寫「父慈子孝，兄友弟恭」，就可以看出女性在這樣的文化邏輯下是被刪除的。
