Abstract

This thesis takes as a starting point the gradual reduction of the traditional Chinese patriarchal society that is deeply rooted in the minds of Chinese people in today's Chinese society. Discuss why do men still hold extreme views on unmarried women and discriminate against unmarried women in Chinese society. To explore the influence of Confucianism on male chauvinization in Chinese society. It is concluded that the attitudes of modern Chinese society toward unmarried women who give birth to children have changed, Some men are increasing their inclusiveness for unmarried mothers through social education for the new era. But the overall attitudes are still not optimistic, Unmarried women in China should have more development space and employment space in the future. In the future, social discrimination against unmarried women and against their children should be reduced. These should be improved as a direction for future efforts in order to realize women's true self-worth.
