From the beginning of the film three minutes, we can notice that Andy and other girls working in "Skybridge" magazine The difference between them is the contrast in attitudes towards clothing (and even underwear) and makeup. The potential difference is that Andy has more "family" colors. And this family color, or the lack of female roles, is regardless of Miranda It is also the source of Andy’s conflicts in life.
We are always used to weakening the achievements of women, which has successively affected every successful woman. Even we subtly use the theory of leader traits and believe that women’s achievements must be derived from her. Having the traits of a male leader seems to be conceptual inequality. But we can also notice that at the level of female roles, at least in female family role-playing, even if you can use your own resources to replace yourself (Andy was used by Miranda to do things for his daughter several times), but still can’t escape the situation of career success and family failure. It is undeniable that with the development of society, although blue-collar women On the contrary, the proportion of women in white-collar jobs is steadily increasing. The pair of white-collar beauties composed of female reporters, female lawyers, female professors, female managers, etc. has almost become a symbol of the new middle class. Maybe female His spiritual determination, affinity, sensitivity and work endurance are more adapted to the trend of social division of labor in which labor intensity is reduced and work specialization is increased in modern society. The contrast between the strengths and weaknesses of men and women in professional competition is undergoing some subtle changes.
Here is a set of data. In developed countries, the labor force participation rate of women is less than 60%, that of Hong Kong and Taiwan is 46%, while that of mainland China is as high as over 80%. This is also true of many developing countries. There are also statistics showing that women in many countries receive higher education. The proportion of women is much higher than that of men. However, among those who have received higher education, the actual employment and social work rate (here refers to the long-term, the situation that will not give up long-term work due to marriage and other factors) is still lower than that of men. This data not only means that for a developing economy, the emancipation of ideas and the needs of social development have led to the continuous leap of women, but also reflects the fact that the role of women in the family structure in social life is on a large scale. .
The end of the film is very interesting. On the one hand, the heroine Andy gave up the fashion industry and chose to return to herself. To blame for it, in addition to the antipathy among the fashion industry, it is more Andy's inability to part with the role of the family. After Andy’s work is on track, almost all conflicts stemmed from the conflicts between family roles and social work roles. Andy’s social roles with his father, Andy’s boyfriends and friends, and Andy’s social roles are due to " The “Book Release” incident invaded Miranda’s family roles, and these significant conflicts all showed the sense of conflict and contradiction between white-collar women’s social roles and family roles. On the one hand, both physically and psychologically, women’s concern for family seems to be innate and far exceeds that of men. This is almost independent of any cultural or ethnic influence, and it is even more obvious. However, it seems that it is extremely difficult for men to replace women’s family roles. This seems to be deeply rooted in the animal nature of human beings. Even in matrilineal society, women are the dominant powers, but women still assume most of the family roles; On the other hand, along with social development, women’s gender characteristics have met the work needs of more social development, leading to a series of problems such as weak family structure and family education.
In recent years, in addition to film works, we have observed that many TV drama works have also touched this topic inadvertently, from "Struggle" to "My Youth Who Is the Master", and then to "Marriage" which directly touches this topic. "Defense Station", almost without exception, presents the potential form of strong women and weak men. In society, boys with women’s mental determination, affinity, sensitivity, and work stamina are more popular at work, while the embarrassing phenomenon that traditional boys are only welcomed by "mothers-in-law" requires us to be more aware of social development. Considering the role-playing, should women return to the family to undertake the same important family and education work? How to guide the difference between gender needs and family gender role-playing is worth exploring.
"Faust" tells people to bet with the devil, and the unsatisfied Faust finally becomes a prisoner of the devil. Its last two sentences are very interesting. Guo Moruo's translation is "great women, lead us to go".
Now, many leaders in the world have been replaced by ladies, Hillary Clinton, and Merkel.
The question is, where do they lead us?
