"The choice is always yours, whatever the society may claim, it can't control you. "
(The choice is always in your hands. No matter what society demands, it cannot control you.)
This is the main point. People who don't like this drama are probably either straight men with cancer or they didn't understand it. It is recommended to read it carefully and pay attention to the details.
Times are changing. Fairy tales range from Cinderella and Snow White happily after (lived a happy life) to Frozen Snow Princess who does not need a prince??. Educate our next generation to pursue themselves and not to be constrained by the social environment. The princess does not need a kiss from the prince to resurrect. The princess can live on her own and help the prince escape! Women can also hold up the sky, instead of having to obey your role of getting married, mothering, taking care of children and family when you are born.
And this kind of reform touches the interests of men who have existing interests. I have always seen people saying that the persecutor is always the woman herself, and the saddest thing is the brainwashed grandma of the older generation who asks you to get married and give birth every day. The typical grandma of the Marquis and the headmistress of the ladies' school are one of the victims of these successful xi nao. Often this kind of society disrespects women and treats women as a resource. Just like the "Ladies School" in the movie,
Women don’t have the right to think, men think for you
"Walk as we show you to walk!"
"Speak as we tell you to!"
"Act, think, be as we tell you. And you will became an acceptable wife and a responsible mother"
(We tell you how to go, you just go!)
(Whatever we tell you to talk, you just talk!)
(Behavior, thinking, do what we say!)
(You will become satisfying wives and responsible mothers)
Someone might stand up and say that this is a "lady school"
"Mrs. Rong" said it was not a man. Then I ask you, who will the lady educated by this school serve in the future? Whose wife and mother will she become in the future? Who is the biggest beneficiary?
Some women have awakened, and they want to rise up fan kang. There is another interesting aspect of this drama. In addition to reflecting the reaction of different women to the emerging ideas of women's awakening, it also reflects the ambiguous attitudes of different men to women's awakening. Those women who are successful by xi nao naturally "sell them and help them count their money", helping patriarchs to oppress emerging ideas. Those men who are aware of the social oppression of women are very representative of the attitudes and personalities of Mycroft, Sherlock, and Lord Tewksbury.
The heroine eldest brother Mycroft is conservative, conservative in thinking and stubborn in character. He thinks that society should be like this. As a vested interest, he is clearly oppressing women. He has to say all kinds of things.
"You are my sister, I just want you to be happy"
Is this sentence very familiar?
"You are our daughter, and we are doing it for your own good. If we don't get married and have children now, how can we marry out in the future?"
Back in the play, the eldest brother is actually to protect his own interests and the stability of the patriarchal class, without asking the younger sister what kind of life he wants. Well, you don’t have to think about it, we’ve all thought it out for you, and you should do it according to this. Everyone does it. Yes, in the patriarchal and cancerous society, women are just a kind of resource, not humans at all, and they are not qualified to think. They should follow the instructions of the elders step by step!
The second brother knew that society was unfair to women. Just as the black female restaurant owner said, although he knew it, but after all, he did not touch his own interests, so he chose to do nothing, choose to escape, and close one eye. At the beginning of the play, the hostess begged him for help and let him be her guardian, but he said to the hostess, "I'm sorry, this is beyond my scope." If the eldest brother is the one who oppresses her, the second elder brother is the one who can't save her, making her realize that she can only save herself. As Joan of Arc said, God will take care of those who save herself.
On the way to save herself, the heroine also saved the little marquis (the princess saved the prince). The arrogant little Marquis has a heart longing for freedom, and the heroine's optimism, confidence, cleverness and wit and extraordinary skill shocked him time and time again, and refreshed his understanding of the world/society/woman, which naturally moved him That little heart. (This gang leader has also personally experienced this.....?) Countless spoilers are omitted here.........The little marquis is actually a representative of a new generation of men. Some people may think that they are in front of women. Very weak, but I think this is what people should be like. Although the heroine is very good, the world is omnipotent, and the little marquis is not bad, flowers, mushrooms and plants are used as food, and the ability to survive in the wild is strong. Both men and women are human beings. There is no feminist and patriarchal rights. Everyone should do what they are good at and love. Instead of the social/male patriarch telling you, you should do what you do.
Finally, send a wonderful line from the show to those straight men who did not watch the show carefully, did not understand, or accused the feminism of the show:
"Try to be excited, not to be disappointed at the possibility of something new."
What? You don’t understand the original English lines? It's no wonder that you don't like this drama. In the final analysis, it's because of your poor level? I suggest you go home and read more!
