Neo-Confucian :

- students were expected to venerate and follow the instructions of their teachers, no matter what.

( they killed the bad students and put their head hanging on the door so they could keep order in the classroom )

- women were also driven to underground activities to ameliorate their subordination and expand their career opportunities.

( but Behind the Scenes, they continued to play strong roles at courts )

even within the palace, the plight of most women was grim.

- in society at large, women had to settle for whatever status and respect they could win within the family.

[ even well - read women were barred from taking the civil service exams and obtaining positions in the bureaucracy ]
