Equality between men and women is a rhetoric that we have been talking about, but when we think about it carefully, are men and women truly equal?
In the eyes of many people - after all, gender differences have a lot of double standards.
E.g:
Men are unrestrained in cool clothes, while women are coquettish.
Men are sloppy and informal, while women are complained that they cannot marry.
Men have slept with many women who are veterans of love, while women are "not self-love".
Look, there are so many "double standards" caused by gender differences.
These factual examples illustrate that we have never enjoyed true equality between men and women.
Today, Bean Sprouts would like to share with you a curious and interesting French movie:
"A Man Should Love Himself"
Je ne suis pas un homme facile
Just from the name of the movie is very exciting.
The world in the movie is completely reversed with our reality: women are superior to men!
The director opened his mind wide, and simply and rudely reversed the status of men and women. What would happen if such a world was stuffed into a real world person?
The male protagonist Damian is a romantic and macho man.
Working in app design for a mobile marketing company.
He made the female profile an add-on option for male genital monitoring products.
This made the female subordinates feel embarrassed and embarrassed.
But he took this disrespect for women as a form of humor.
Because in daily life, he is accustomed to this "humorous" way.
Often verbally sexually harassing female subordinates:
Evaluate whether a woman's dress is "serious":
As far as the eye can see must be the measurements of a woman.
She molested female colleagues at get off work, and always flirted with her when she got off work.
When it comes to relationships, it's even more scumbag. He never falls in love seriously. Women are just a tool for him to relieve loneliness. He claims to have used TT more than any man in Paris.
Damian's good friend Christopher, is a writer, and he is a raccoon dog.
Obviously his female subordinate was molested, but he said "I see you flirting with others".
Christopher's wife, in addition to work, has to buy food, cook and take care of children every day.
And he was not grateful, but cheated.
In this regard, the ideas of the pair of friends are very tacit: deny, yes, deny it.
Then, with peace of mind, he continued to gossip, to look at the sexy women on the road, and whistle to them.
It is said that flies don't bite seamless eggs, but can you say Damian's female subordinate or Christopher's female assistant is a seamed egg?
Can't!
But they just can't get rid of verbal sexual harassment.
But the retribution came too fast, just when Damian's eyes were still wandering on the beauty, he accidentally hit a light pole head-on and fainted.
When he woke up again, everything changed, and he traveled to a world where women are superior to men.
Here, women are responsible for making money and supporting their families, while men are responsible for being beautiful and taking care of children at home.
Christopher became a bitch, with a floral scarf tied around his neck, and shyly told the policewoman that they were avoiding the woman's stalking.
For added glamour, men shave off unsightly hair, wear panties that lift the balls, and — hip-length shorts.
The straight men's POLO shirts in the wardrobe have all become floral shirts, white T, sweatpants...
The front desk and secretary in the company became men in sexy professional clothes with exposed thighs.
And the former female subordinate has become his own boss.
The female boss was still very dissolute, unbuttoning her pants in front of Damian, trying to unspoken rules for him.
In the coffee shop, the female owner refused to serve two male customers because they were wearing gorgeous headscarves, and the owner thought they were coquettish.
The two men began to complain:
In Damian's parents' butcher's shop, the man with the knife cutting the meat became the mother, while the father sat leisurely collecting the money.
But what struck him the most was in the bar, where the girls who danced the pole were replaced by enchanting strong men.
Here, it is men who perform pole dancing hard, and women who spend money.
Everything is about pleasing women, who are eager to find their prey.
Faced with this sudden change, do you think Damian will be frightened?
You underestimate him.
In fact, Damian was so happy that he found that he could be more casual:
He can easily attract the attention of beautiful women, and even better, there will be female friends who take the initiative to ask him out, which is a really cool experience.
However, Damian, who has been in love for many years, didn't know that his proud chest hair turned out to be a stumbling block on his way.
In order to cater to the aesthetics of this world, Damian is a delicate pig boy.
He took off all the hair on his body and put on sexy business clothes.
Good friend Christopher is on maternity leave because his wife is giving birth.
Yes, in this world, men take maternity leave to take care of children, and women drink and watch football games.
Damian, who lost his job, went to work instead of Christopher.
The new boss is a well-known writer, a very domineering female president Alysandre, tall, handsome and rich.
Making a boyfriend is like collecting stamps, and changing a boyfriend is like changing clothes.
She is like Damian in that world, but the gender has changed. In this world, women look down on men, and men are just accessories to women.
There was a fierce collision between machismo and machismo, and Damian's simple and unpretentious character deeply attracted the female president.
Man, you managed to get my attention.
The two quickly hooked up.
But when it's over, Alysandre always pulls up her pants and walks away.
Don't forget to tell Damian, "I like you, but I'm not a good person."
This familiar line...
Gradually, Damian finds himself in love with Alysandre.
But what awaits him is Alysandre's use, she uses sex to confuse Damian, and writes his experience in the patriarchal society into her new work.
Damian abandons himself and goes to the bar to get drunk, and is targeted by bad women.
They decided to rape him when he was most vulnerable.
"It must be because of hunger and thirst that a person came to the bar, so don't pretend to be innocent!"
The lines and the plot are all familiar.
When men started to resist, put on fake milk and took to the streets, calling for the importance of male power in society.
The women are puzzled:
"Is there nothing better to do?"
"Your life must be empty."
The movie performs gender inversion through mirroring. The parallel world after gender swapping looks funny and absurd, making people physically uncomfortable.
Ironically, all the "uncomfortable" moments seen in the film are things that even women are accustomed to in real life.
Every time after a bad female crime incident, public opinion always tells girls to protect themselves.
for example--
In the case of Didi flight attendant's murder, many people made rash comments with explicit remarks, and even rummaged through the girl's photo album, saying that the tragedy happened because of her sweet appearance and revealing dress.
Public opinion keeps telling girls: don't walk alone at night, don't dress revealing, don't take night trains...
Our focus should be on the event itself, not gender or otherwise.
"Men Should Love Oneself" tells us in a very paradoxical way: Patriarchy is disgusting, and extreme feminism is just as disgusting.
Although the roles of men and women are interchanged in the film, which makes men feel the world of feminism, it does not strongly express feminism.
In fact, it is not pursuing feminism, but expressing equality.
After all, any society with unequal rights will bring misfortune, as the movie shows.
What we need is "equal rights", and men and women should not be a "label".
We don't want straight men's cancer, and we don't want feminist cancer.
What we need is "equal rights"!
