. As you know from "Sophie's World", the discrimination against women in the Middle Ages originated from the great philosopher Aristotle. He believes that women are unfinished men and can only be passively accepted in terms of fertility. Men are the sowers, and women are only the soil for receiving and nurturing seeds, and the children they give birth have only male characteristics. In short: women are just fertility machines.
Now we all know that the chromosomes in everyone come from both parents.
One of the tragedies of "Ordinary Heart" is that at that time everyone thought that AIDS could only be spread between homosexuals, and that it had nothing to do with heterosexuality and did not pay attention to it.
②Rationality is a dynamic and gradual process.
We cannot say that Aristotle's view is wrong. Because this way of thinking is anti-historical. With the development of society and the progress of civilization, women began to be equal to men, and blacks began to be equal to whites. Although discrimination has always existed, this equality is finally recognized in the law. But we cannot just say that people thousands of years ago were wrong. New things always appear later, and rationality is a dynamic and gradual process.
Therefore, the homosexual group that appeared in "Plain Heart" was not taken seriously, which was understandable at the time.
③You have to fight for rights and interests
. Because Rosa Parks did not give up seats to white people on the bus, it triggered a national black rights movement. Including boycotting buses and so on. Martin Luther King Jr also appeared in that period.
Man made a knife and I am a fish, this is the law of nature. If no woman ever wanted to be educated, to participate in elections, and no blacks wanted to be equal to whites, then there would be no girls going to school and blacks becoming presidents today.
You need to fight for your own rights.
④ In the process of striving for legal status, we should not adopt wrong practices.
Martin Luther King said in "I Have a Dream": For the anxious people waiting at the gate of the Palace of Justice, there are some things I must say. In the process of striving for legal status, we should not adopt wrong practices. Let us not hold the cup of hostility and hatred to satiate our desire for freedom. We must always behave appropriately and be disciplined when we fight. We cannot allow our protests with new content to degenerate into violent actions. We must constantly ascend to the lofty realm of dealing with material power with spiritual power.
Ned in "Ordinary Heart" is too radical. It's no good to be too extreme, and people won't like it, and it is very likely to cause adverse effects. Relatively speaking, Martin Luther King Jr. is much more rational.
⑤ Subconscious discrimination
often has heterosexuals claiming that their sexual orientation is normal. It's as if homosexuality is abnormal. This kind of subconscious discrimination is really scary.
Compared to our homosexuality, you are not normal, you are just normal.
In fact, we are also normal.
Five stars recommend this movie "Ordinary Heart".
