After watching Hannah gadsby's farewell show, she is undoubtedly excellent. Most of the first half is hilarious, but when she started to mention her mother and told her in the department store "I regret raising her like an ordinary girl", my whole hands started to tremble, and I began to realize So, this is not just a talk show, it is a "METOO", it is a shout.
I don’t know when it started. Serious and angry expression has become an old fashion. Sometimes I think it’s understandable because life is already in dire straits. People just want some jokes and interesting resonance, not more. Much heavy.
For a long time, I also began to seal up all my anger, because I realized that when everyone in social media began to consciously show the bright side of life, those words that were too serious would become Under the invisible pressure, it seems abnormally out of place.
I want to take a screenshot of almost every sentence in the talk show, especially in the network environment is already bad. When Liu Qiangdong broke out the case of sexual assault, there was still an unsightly voice in the comment area, slut against the victim. The shame is now, ironically, in this environment, there are countless people who want to forcibly infuse the idea that women's social status has been greatly improved.
And do you know what is more ridiculous? When a man expresses his anger, people feel that the situation is serious, but when a woman speaks out, people think that she is a female lunatic, of course not anymore. Nowadays, as long as a woman speaks out, people can’t wait to yell "Look! There is a stupid idyllic feminist here!"
When we express our anger towards the supremacy of patriarchy, people often fight back. Isn't your father a male? Is there no male among your relatives? So when they slander and humiliate strange women, have you ever thought about your mother and your daughter? I guess of course not.
Because as long as they think about it for a second, they will not have the heart to lay those words, they will not bear to violent unfamiliar women or even their lover, and they will not harass "when a man with great power abuses women." "Others framed" this kind of groundless argument is convinced, let alone "a man loves women in their 20s because that is the best age for a woman", I'll let you fucking shit!
As an ordinary girl raised up, the most serious injuries I have experienced in my life are broken relationships and deaths of relatives. The so-called domestic violence, sexism, gender cognitive impairment, and many other injuries are far away from me.
But I still hate myself as a woman a lot. The reason I hate it is that when I am hurt by my side, or any woman in this world, I can’t do my best. The reason I hate is that when I stand alone in the elevator with strange men, or even when I walk alone on the street, I try to make my expression look fierce, because I am afraid of men.
But I also love women very much, because I know that 20-year-old is by no means the peak state of a woman, and a woman who continues to be strong after injury is their best state. This is the meaning of metoo, the meaning of the "Ewha Womans University incident", and the meaning of girl power.
In Hannah’s talk show, she mentioned that the anger she expressed was not for catharsis, but for transmission, for a sense of belonging. Just as in the whole story of Van Gogh, Theo is the most important part, the person. The bridge between people, such a bridge, seems so gentle and powerful.
I am very happy that in the past few years, I have seen more and more women like Hannah who are willing to raise their arms, or human beings.
"If we learn to look at things from multiple angles, we can create a better world. The more angles the better. After all, diversity is power, and difference is our teacher. People who are afraid of difference cannot make progress."
mutual encouragement.
