Why is there an old saying that "it is better to marry a good girl than a swing"?

Modern people, right? Laugh at poverty instead of prostitution? There are some misunderstandings in this sentence. In ancient times, moral constraints were much higher than now. The life experiences of prostitutes are mostly poor, and many of them are forced by life. Brothel women often express their poor situation, and many of them are sold to brothels by their families, perhaps because they have a brother or father who loves to drink, or because they have no money at home and need it urgently.

Better marry a good prostitute than a swing? Personally, I think this sentence has some truth, mainly from some aspects.

Women in brothels are forced by life and forced to make a living in this way. In ancient times, women basically had no income and could only rely on men, so it was impossible to work. This is how most women make a living. Some people think why not be a singer or a dancer? Buster, not a prostitute. But most of them are women from poor families. How can they afford to send them to learn singing and dancing? It takes time and talent to cultivate showgirls, and it is not without requirements. These prostitutes are basically orphans, daughters of poor families, trafficked here by traffickers and cheated by pimps. If they are good, they just want to live a good life, which is acceptable to men. After all, they should all be fine in brothels, and there are very few ordinary people who can generally marry beautiful women.

In a patriarchal society, it is generally unacceptable for ancient people to wear cuckolded hats. What does it mean to be separated? No income, living by men, but having an affair with others when men go out to make money, who can stand it? Especially in the ancient patriarchal society, climbing over the wall is simply an insult, a contempt for male dignity and a disregard for male charm. Most importantly, it is easy for a man to find a wife after separation. Why does he want to be with a woman who cuckolded herself? Ancient men attached great importance to women's chastity and hoped that their women would only belong to them.

Such a contrast, naturally know understand? Better marry a good prostitute than a wall wife? This sentence.
