In such a social environment where women's status is extremely low, no woman is easy.
Sir George's wife, Mrs. Caroline, even though she has the huge wealth left by her ancestors, she can only turn a blind eye to her husband's search for flowers and extravagance. She can only be relieved when her husband dies.
Mrs. Repton seems to be on an equal footing with her husband, and she can play with the little fresh meat, but she does not know that this can only be within the limits he allows. Once he goes against his will and challenges his bottom line, he will be violently confronted.
Mrs. Lennox is a lady in name, but she is actually a slave without personal freedom. After Lennox's death, she was threatened by Benjamin, Lennox's eldest son, and forced to be separated from her flesh and blood. It was the first time I discovered my own worth.
Lydia Quigley and Magrate Wells have been fighting for each other because of their feud and interests. They are both prostitutes, but they are different. Lydia Quigley completely relied on the authority of men (judges), squeezed the prostitutes under her, and under the drive and threat of interests, she succumbed to the perverted desires of the upper class, killing several innocent girls. After Magrate Wells escaped from Lydia Quigley, he and his friend Nancy drove the brothel from the ghetto to SoHo. She gave prostitutes freedom and proper remuneration, and she also had a conscience and dared to resist the power of the judge's representative. She saw through the situation of women, took her two daughters on the path of prostitutes, and taught them that money is the only way to rely. She thought that if her daughter became the mistress of a powerful person, she would be rich and prosperous and have a safe life. This was the best way out she could think of, but she didn't know that the powerful and powerful only regarded them as property, and they could be used when they were bored. Throwing away playthings will not take into account their dignity, freedom or even life.
The girls under Magrate Wells, everyone is selling their bodies for a living, Mrs. Lennox is in order to make money to redeem their two children, Kitty is in order to support the daughter of the country. Charlotte Wells, despite being George's mistress, has no freedom or dignity. Lucy Wells is new to the business and doesn't want to be a prostitute, but has no choice but to be bullied and fearful for her mother's expectations.
No woman is easy to be a plaything for one man or a plaything for many men, there is no other way out. In this sense, where can a lady be nobler than a prostitute?
Therefore, the most important thing for equality between men and women is equal opportunities, education opportunities, job opportunities, voice opportunities, opportunities to control their own body, mind and way of life, the opportunity to rely on their own physical and mental work to exchange for wealth, and become an independent individual who does not depend on others. Opportunity, the opportunity to realize the value of life. This should be the pursuit of real feminism.
