The second sex of Beauvoir, the social woman is formed after birth, not determined by the woman's innate physiological structure. People generally think that women are fragile, passionate, and hysterical (this word should be mentioned in particular, because it is said that the original meaning of the word is the uterus, that is to say, this word is used to describe women) or that women are patient, patient, hardworking, etc. Etc. (the virtues imposed on women by ulterior motives), these are not inherent in women, but are constructed by the environment in the acquired family and social growth. The patriarchal society puts women in the lofty morals, and the status that needs to be protected is actually to deprive them of their freedom of thought and the right to progress and even evolve. Just as the congressman and his wife of the movie did not understand his wife from the beginning to the end, and thus touched and agreed with her from the heart, I also believe that when he understands her, he will truly love her. Love a woman who has an equal soul with him.
Women cannot be liberated for a day, and men cannot be liberated. As long as a woman is under the curse given by society, there can never be true love between a man and a woman. As long as one party has economic or spiritual dependence on the other, that pure and innocent love will inevitably be mixed with impurities of selfishness and fear. Although the average income of women should still be lower than that of men today, economic independence can generally be achieved. What we must be wary of in the present age is the spiritual oppression. As long as there is a woman who is worried about her right and wrong, anxious about being a leftover girl, and ashamed of her divorce, the pressure on the woman's spirit will not end.
I recommend you to watch this movie and I also recommend you to watch Beauvoir’s "Second Sex". Many times we are confused by the illusions around us. We think that we are fragile, we will be hurt by love, we are humble, ourselves Inseparable from men (this is not to promote singleness, but to refer to a pathological state of being particularly anxious about being single). Think about the surrounding environment including family, parents, neighbors, colleagues, popular songs, public opinion, and best-selling books. (E.g. how to grasp a man’s heart) Wait, we have been blinded by these for too long, we seem to have never had time to think about what we think our innate nature is actually given to us by these social and cultural elements. . When we succumbed for the first time because of our female role, and then again and again only because of our female identity rather than the true demands of compromise in our hearts, please think that we are firstly people and then women, not the other way around!
