The education budget for this fiscal year includes a regular allocation of 1,040,000 yuan and a temporary allocation of over 1,110,000 yuan, totaling more than 2,150,000 yuan. If we specifically extract the funding for women's education, it is as follows:
First Women's Normal School: 33,024 yuan
Second Women's Normal School: 30,705 yuan
Third Women's Normal School: 21,764 yuan
Substitute Girls' Middle School: 10,000 yuan
Total: 96,493 yuan

The total funding for women's education amounts to less than 100,000 yuan, barely one-twenty-second of the entire education budget. When it comes to fulfilling the duty of paying taxes, women "fulfill" it just as men do. But when it comes to enjoying the right to education, women receive only one-twenty-second of what men do. Men! You are truly too heartless!

In Hunan, with its 15 million women, there is not a single girls' middle school—this is already the height of disgrace. In the budget proposal for the tenth year of the Republic, a groundbreaking allocation was made for a "Substitute Girls' Middle School," with 6,000 yuan in regular funding and 4,000 yuan in temporary funding. I hear that some honorable assemblymen still wish to strike it down. I never imagined that the women's community could be so pitiable, reduced to such a state after all.
