Is to speak, not to respond

Hannah's frankness is obviously a powerful one. She ridiculed the traditional culture’s neglect of human nature, and ridiculed how fragile the popular LGBTQ pride is. She satirized patriarchy and feminism, and even ridiculed how people’s care for fame conceals their pursuit of human nature. And after the laugh, we heard that this is a man who has been sexually assaulted, has been squeezed out, has experienced pain, and stood up again, facing the hypocritical counterattack. I agree with her complaints. I am probably as uncomfortable with the entire scale based on outdated cultural standards, such as T/P in lesbian and 1/0 in gay. I admit that they have their convenience. However, this division that follows traditional gender cognition is still using groups to define individuals, and it is not enhancing our understanding of diversity. Individuals can and should be a sign of group diversity. Hannah is a kind of female, and former Justice Ginsberg is also a female. They do not lack anything feminine, because they are writing about women. The various possibilities of transformation. In addition, belonging to a certain minority group does not represent any inexplicable sense of superiority-self-inflation is as pathetic as self-pity. The dignity of an individual depends on the individual's character, morals, words and deeds, thinking, judgment, and dealing with others, and has nothing to do with other identities. Instead of advocating a kind of illusory pride, how about steadily self-cultivation and self-esteem? Hesse’s "Steppenwolf" wrote: The world vomits you out because you are different. And what is "the world" are those narrow-minded people who just want to put others into their own cognition to measure, are afraid of differences, and cannot learn from it. So it's a good thing to be spit out, because then you can be an individual—defined by yourself.
