Finally waiting for you~ A little spoiler warning The first episode focuses on Schlafly's politics and family life. From the eyes of the big devil and the impeccable smile, it can be seen that she is not a victim of hidden inequality. A preeminent woman with insight into military defense could go a long way toward breaking down the female stereotypes of the day, but Schlafly chose to speak out against feminism (or, in itself, another manifestation of liberty). In fact, the successive failures of the campaign, the contempt and even physical coveting of Schlafly by male politicians, and her husband's shunning of her political career... are all evidence that she lives in inequality. So what exactly is Schlafly's opposition to feminism based on? Power, as it says in the trailer, It's all about power. Women's pursuit of "equal right" is actually an "encroachment" of male power in a male-dominated society. Equal rights mean that women must subvert tradition and regain the right to speak, which means that real power must be divided into two at this time. It is quite obvious that Schlafly has no hope for a redistribution of power, because what she is concerned with is that after the redistribution of power, the privileges that men in a patriarchal society give women to occupy the heights of power disappear as men's power diminishes. . From the perspective of a male-dominated society, losing such privileges (even if it is based on gender inequality) has a huge negative impact on women. "Girls must serve in the military", "Women must also raise and take care of their families." ", "Women will lose the protection and favor of men"... Social prejudice against women occupies a long history. How long will it take for a new social consciousness to emerge among men? What if the creation of the "Sex-neutral Society" meant another period of oppression for women? Schlafly's concerns are not unreasonable. We often see women in the workplace being asked about "how to balance work and family", but few men are denied jobs because they are unmarried and have no children... How do we decide whose interest to sacrifice for the future? People open up the light? When this question is placed in front of human civilization as a whole, we can all quickly get the answer, because it is much simpler to make collective self-sacrifice decisions than individuals, but when the dust of the times falls on the heads of individuals, the reins of the times are held by individuals It is often more common to hold hands, sway, go against the trend, and stick to prejudice. I think Schlafly's deep-rooted male perspective (or patriarchal perspective) hidden under the surface of the privilege reserved for women, and her disapproval of women's power, is the source of her anti-feminist views. (Although there are still political and partisan factors, but I don't know about American parties, so I won't be blind bb)

    "In fact, feminism is flawed because it's a movement of people who are flawed. For whatever reason, most of us are often held to an unreasonably harsh standard. Looking at feminism, the movement must achieve everything we want and must always make the best choices. When feminism falls short of our expectations, we blame the problem on feminist ideas themselves, not those in the name of the movement On flawed people who act."

    I hope that the domestic movement will take a good look at what the real movement looks like. No matter what movement it is, to gain respect and achieve results only by cursing will not work. It also requires skilled political skills and rational situation analysis. The same is true for works. A good doctrinal work is definitely not a one-sided preaching, but an objective and comprehensive expression as much as possible.
