I am deeply ashamed when I use "female privilege" to get some special treatment. I have even enjoyed it, enjoy the special treatment under this default discrimination. I have known from a very young age what kind of behavior standards would please men. I mean, adult straight men, and I always become what they want to see when I need to get what I want. . At the beginning of adolescence, I had a severe misogyny. I hate all feminine things and think they are very disgusting. I hate skirts, I hate dressing and dressing, and I hate pink. This color is marked as feminine by the society. I am obsessed with rude masculinity, trying to be "man", standing on top with other men, showing disdain for women. Then I realized that I didn't think of myself as a man by doing this. As Hannah Gadsby said, Picasso advocated seeing things from multiple angles, but he always missed the angle of a 17-year-old girl.
I really like a sentence in her special, "It's not a man wearing a skirt that is weird, but a pink hairband on the baby's bald head."
Parents tell others with this behavior that this is a girl baby. Because these "abnormalities" that escape the rules of the patriarchal society make the beneficiaries of the rules uneasy. The beneficiaries will punish these individuals who are considered "abnormal."
And the children of the new generation, the children who have broadened their horizons, do some of them have the opportunity to see the perspective of the 17-year-old girl, whether they will arouse conscience, and make something for the disadvantaged and the marginalized people? Change? To change this deep-rooted law of the jungle, to rewrite the rules of patriarchy, to see, some beauty?
