This Women's Day is very impressive.
When I woke up this morning, I remembered that it was Women's Day. How to celebrate? Especially in the context of rising female consciousness, how do I spend it in order to have some sense of holiday?
After thinking for a while, I decided that the way to celebrate is to watch this movie. And, no matter how the day goes, watch it tonight.
It turned out that I watched the movie at night as I wished, but today was not a happy day. Because of one incident, I was particularly impressed with Women's Day 2021 and the film.
The thing is, I took the test for the introduction of civil servants from my hometown with indefinite positions, and the result came out: 27 people were recruited in the province, of which only 3 were women, accounting for 1/9.
As the first place in the written test for a certain position, I lost to two other men in the interview. Sadly, but fortunately, not one of them.
That sentence in the movie fits my mood, "You want me to respect the law, then make the law respectable".
So, I am both regretful and lucky. It's a pity that my hometown doesn't have respectable rules. Fortunately, I don't have to go back to my hometown to honor such rules.
In addition, unwillingness, grievance, sadness, depression, of course, there will be, but when watching the movie, they all dissipated with the tears.
The low-mindedness of women at the beginning of the movie seems really outrageous now, but why were so many people able to bear it at that time?
I think it's because in a patriarchal society, the lack of female voices makes many people think that women are just that stupid, which leads to the fact that they have no right to resist, from political participation to the law to the economy.
How are the facts? Women are not only equal to men in IQ, their bravery, perseverance, responsibility and kindness are not inferior to men, and even stronger than some men.
I believe that most feminists have the same experience as the heroine, from the reluctant passive participation at the beginning, to the last never giving up and never compromising... What makes women into equal rights? What Makes Equalizers Women's Rights?
It is structural injustice and irreversible prejudice.
The contemporary injustice and prejudice is not that women have lower IQs than men, but that women are more "troublesome" than men.
They're in trouble because they're getting married, having kids, and taking maternity leave, and men can't manipulate women like men because they'll have opinions. So, instead of listening to women and solving problems, men in power should weed out people with opinions.
Isn't that the case in the movie too? Women were imprisoned, beaten, and nasally fed, again and again, to no avail. Only by being killed by an oncoming horse can your opinion be heard. Otherwise, there is no possibility of change at all.
Looking at today, gender discrimination still exists, and equal pay for equal work between men and women is just an empty talk. In some places, “only men are recruited” are openly written in recruitment announcements. Some people’s opinions and ideas online have become so-called “boxing.”
How similar?
In 1912, the IQ of women was belittled, and now they feel that women are "too busy" and "troublesome".
The suffragettes who stigmatized suffragettes in 1912 now refer to women's rights as "women's boxing."
In 1912, they carried out violence in their hands and opposed violence in their mouths. Now they say "he is still a child" while online harassing Tsinghua senior sister.
...
The women of 1912 exchanged blood and sweat for the advancement of women's status. To me today, their bravery is like a torch.
As the melting pot says, we fight all the way, not to change the world, but to keep ourselves from being changed by the world. I'm the most ordinary girl in the world. I'm soft-spoken, and I may not be able to change the society or the system, but I will work hard not to let myself be changed, and work hard to become those brave, confident, strong, and kind sisters.
