I think, if one day I can, I also hope that what I have learned and what I know can really be used in a larger cause to safeguard the interests of more people.
About RBG
I have always wanted to watch documentaries and biographies about Ginsburg. Although I always knew that she existed as an icon abroad, but after watching the documentary, I realized the reason why she was able to become a female icon. Not only because she has always been a voice for women, but more importantly, she shows us how we fight for our rights.
In fact, the topic of women's rights has been constantly mentioned in mainland China recently. From the Ram incident, Yang Li's talk show incident and Zheng Shuang's surrogacy incident to the recent Lu Wen 1900 and LexBurner incidents, the topic of women's rights is indeed in Step by step into the public eye, become the focus of discussion.
I think it's a good thing in the first place, and I've always believed that there is transgender understanding in the world, and although it's very difficult, it's not an excuse for not trying. From the past to the present, I have always believed that the premise that women's voices are heard is that we have a voice, no matter what kind of way, "action" is the first rule.
But today RBG told me from its own experience that we need to strive for a lot more than action. From the example of RBG, I see that women should challenge the chronic diseases that exist in this society in a way that belongs to them, but also belongs to everyone in this society. Just as the tool used by the RBG is the law, and the law is a set of common language in society, it is through such authoritative language and narrative that the RBG's work for women can be seen. I think that in today's China, our female group has not yet found such a language, which is why "right" is deconstructed by patriarchy into "boxer" and loses the seriousness it represents. More importantly, the current entertainment environment has accelerated this process of deconstruction. People began to choose to escape reality in entertainment, and the position of "serious" discussion of issues seems to no longer exist. At the moment when any concept can be "played with stalks", with the regression of the bottom line, we are indeed facing a more difficult struggle environment.
In addition, we also seem to be faced with the differentiation within the female group. Under the influence of the postmodern wave, people seem to prefer to be "deconstructed" rather than being shaped within a group, which is within the female group. appear particularly obvious. On the one hand, women want to fight for their rights, but on the other hand, some women don’t want to lose the advantages they have gained by adapting to (or catering to) the way a male-dominated society operates, which is why women live in a male-dominated society. contradictions that must be faced. Nonetheless, I would say, and always believe, that there will never be a true "feminine advantage" without equality of rights, whether it's to fit in or cater to. The mutual game within a group can only usher in the destruction of a group and the loss of the right to speak. I have never felt more strongly than today that all women should be united because we are very different, but at the end of the day, in a society full of male gazes, we are all the same.
about myself
To be honest, since graduating from high school, I have really had less time to think seriously. On the one hand, it may be because I lost the “examination-taking” pusher, but on the other hand, it is because people are too lazy to challenge their thinking like that. thing. I have also been reflecting on myself, maybe what I know and what I have learned can one day be used in a grand cause, to fight for their rights for more people like me but different from me, But before this day comes, I think I have a must-have homework: keep thinking (Keep THINKING) . As Ginsburg's husband quotes their daughter in the film, "mom does the thinking." Thinking is the only way for us to fight back. Only by truly understanding where there is a problem in the world can we truly understand where we need to work to make the world a better place.
In the face of the current Chinese society, I cannot simply say that our world is going backwards. A large part of women's disappointment in the world stems from their initial expectations for this society, and the failure of this expectation just shows that our society is far more easy than some people see it. Although I have always believed that there are definitely not only ugly male power in this society, but also men who are willing to stand side by side with us, but I should also believe that there are many ugly and unimaginable things in this society.
I think that only by constantly thinking can we recognize the nature of the world; only by constantly thinking can we understand how what we have learned can be put into practice. This is what I have always hoped for myself.
