I just finished watching this movie recently, and the incident in Room N happened right after. I can't help but think, will the world get better? Why do such ugly incidents still happen after more than 100 years of protests?
The film tells the story of the efforts of women in Britain to fight for the right to vote in the early 20th century. The heroine in the story, Mad Watts, was originally a washerwoman, and her husband also worked in a laundry factory, so the family of three was pretty decent. Until Madd came into contact with feminism, she began to think about what this new life would face if she gave birth to a girl. The husband said nonchalantly, "I'm a washerwoman just like you." But what's next? Started doing laundry at the age of thirteen like myself, then got arthritis in my thirties, had a headache from the constant noise of the factory, was paid much lower wages than men, married a laundry factory worker and continued with Madeleine Just as hard as it is now. What's more, the owner of the laundry factory molested and even sexually assaulted young girls by taking advantage of his position. It wasn't what she wanted to see, such dark days were endless loops with no end. Women have always been oppressed, and even their children, as life from their own wombs, do not legally want to have the right to have them. She finally realized that if enough people were not aware of the problem, women would never be able to appear in society as an independent person rather than a dependent object. If you are used to being enslaved, you will either be enslaved or you will have to resist.
And all this is ridiculed by British men. Objects are objects. You have the right to vote, aren't you men? These early British feminists were not only excluded by the opposite sex, but also by sex. Mad was brutally kicked out of the house in the middle of the night by her husband Sonny, who even sold his son to a wealthy family without notifying her. To make matters worse, she mustered up all the courage to testify to MPs that women are oppressed in society, especially in the downstream society. Parliament, including the Prime Minister, still denied women's legal rights. Their efforts seem to have been in vain, and if the mild protest is ineffective, violence will begin. Just like in the play: "If you want me to respect the law, let the law respect me first."
Until finally, when violence really was about to be a tragic sacrifice, Emily, holding the flag of feminism in her hands, walked to the galloping horse on which the king was riding. Everything was still, and all the audience, the photographers, the king, were shocked. Is it only through sacrifice to win the respect of others? All I can say is: when sacrifice becomes inevitable, we have no choice. I saw a book before that said: Don't think why no one pulls you, it's because you're not shouting loud enough.
Events similar to the incident in Room N have frequently occurred in South Korea and have been reported in major newspapers. Why is it always South Korea? I thought it was the result of them blindly wanting economic speed and not matching culture. First of all, in the period of rapid economic development, for the middle and lower classes, it is the super pressure of constant oppression. They are gradually ridiculed in society for being eliminated, and the psychological pressure that cannot be vented directly leads to psychopathology. The second is the government's overt or covert operations. The porn industry is a lucrative industry, and Korea's porn industry is not inferior to Japan's, fueling the desire of Korean men. Later, there was a sexy trend in the idol circle. Actresses from all walks of life are eager to wear less and less. While attracting attention, are they promoting a concept: I am a beautifully packaged commodity, and I am inviting you , I'm trying to please you. For women, the cultural output of TV dramas and other cultural outputs in the early stage is all about the beautiful Ouni and the handsome Ouba in a sweet and bloody love story. Are they objectifying women, gradually reducing women's thinking ability, and weakening women's social status . The story of Cinderella being favored by the prince is all over the street. Are you saying that you women can only change your life by relying on a strong man. And for men, it's like a signal: Look how easy these women are, it seems to be a good channel for venting. Feeling stressed? Find them, they can meet all your needs. The whole society has a high demand for appearance and an ignorant desire for the other half's idol drama. The whole society's view of women has begun to become morbid, or on the basis of never being corrected, it has become more and more crooked.
Among the comments about the incident in Room N, this comment is really irritating and funny. If there is no business, there is no harm, why is it that some people do not understand it? Do you subconsciously treat these forced women as commodities by telling me about the rights of viewers with a set of consumer rights protection laws? You demand the law, and where do you place their human rights? Does the law only apply to the stronger party? What are the weapons of justice you keep talking about, what are you defending? If one day, there is a utopia where women have a higher social status than men and make more money than men, do you approve female consumers to watch videos similar to men’s sexual assault? There is never gender in front of money, as long as there is a market, there will always be people rushing to it, right? At that time, will your present self-righteousness become willing to endure? I think I have foreseen that men all over the street will start to protest and start smashing, looting and burning.
Before watching Qi Hua said that in one issue, when the husband and wife quarreled, who should apologize, or the man should apologize first. The negative side succeeded in grasping a point: in a mistake, it is difficult to judge who is at fault, so it may be best for the man to break the freezing point first. With this argument, the square was successfully refuted. And what I'm struggling with is not this, but why there is no option for the woman to apologize first? The opposite side keeps saying that men are rational animals, gentlemen, and women are more emotional. Speaking of a gentlemanly Britain, in the early 20th century, women did not even have legal rights, and to say that they were emotional, does that imply that women do not have the ability to judge right and wrong and have a broad mind? To promote the social value of objectifying women in this way, I really don't understand why not a single one of the people who voted noticed. Or that they have subtly accepted such a social concept? Just like the movie, the enemy is not only from the opposite sex, even the enslaved same sex will subconsciously reject the different, and this kind of blow is the most terrifying and deadly. When there are enemies on all sides, how can I defend my rights?
The continuous rise of the feminist movement has not stopped since the moment she sprouted, and gender equality still has a long way to go. You can't hope that the society that has been formed for thousands of years will be turned upside down. What I hope is that more and more women can wake up, give up their love brains and idol brains, and make efforts for the change of this society. Society currently tells us that girls should not go out alone at night, that girls should not wear revealing clothes in summer, that girls cannot marry when they are in their thirties, and so on. For girls, society has given many confinement preventive measures. You feel disgusted, then what? Do you hope that someone else will one day be enlightened to find out what the problem is? What I want to say is, as long as you are a commodity in the hearts of others, a low-level existence, don't think that others will look at you from an equal perspective. It's as if the rulers didn't even know about it before the peasant uprising took hold, and they wouldn't take it to heart. But Chairman Mao also said: A single spark can start a prairie fire. What China won in the end, I don't need to go into details. Ladies, let's share.
