Since the patriarchal system recognizes that men should have power, most men not only have no power, but are also controlled by other men. Even so, powerless men still feel male superiority, and they also feel the connection with powerful men. For unemployed working-class men, it is still easy for them to identify with the patriarchal masculinity displayed by male leaders and leaders, while women of any class will not identify with the patriarchal masculinity in this way. When the upper-class American President George W. Bush used his “iron fist and hard punch” to deal with Hussein, all American men, regardless of class, were able to identify with the basic patriarchal values shown by Bush. In this way, masculine identification and even the lowest-ranking man provides a cultural foundation, allowing him to have a sense of superiority to noble women (this is why a construction worker can do to professional women who are passing by the construction site and dressed in fashion). Sexual harassment, I take him for granted.)
"The Catastrophe" depicts a working-class man and an upper-class woman living on a deserted island. Although the working class is at a disadvantage, he knows that he has the right to exercise sexual control over any woman he chooses. So he can reverse the privileges of this upper-class woman for the time being. In a patriarchal society, if we reverse this plot and let a lower-class woman conquer the upper-class man, it will not be appreciated by mainstream audiences. The audience is not opposed to the reversal of social class, but the plot threatens the gender order that makes women submissive. Such a woman will not be regarded as a courageous "female", but the male protagonist will be regarded as incapable of control.
