Feminism

Feminism, the feminist movement refers to ending gender attention, gender exploitation and oppression and promoting gender equality. The underlying idea of ​​the movement under the banner of feminism is that patriarchy is the foundation of today's society. In the so-called patriarchal society, women are objectified, discriminated against, and oppressed. Feminists demand to "liberate" women, and have achieved "equality", "equal rights" and "same qualifications" between the sexes.
Feminists' demands are understandable and quite legitimate. As one of the women, I am happy to see that in recent years, women's awareness of power and rights in society has gradually awakened, and I feel that the world has become a better place. But on the road to equality between men and women, what should really be eliminated is the inner power that comes from women, men who despise women, and women themselves who discriminate against other members of the oppressive group and see her as a black sheep. Feminism does not only require equal status of men and women, but more to make women germinate self-respect and benevolence.

"Female Addict vol I & II" can be seen as a film expansion of "Vagina Monologue". The first is about the sexual enlightenment process of a girl at home. Unlike the first, the theme of the second is the "hypocrisy" of attitudes towards women.

This girl was born in an ordinary loving family. The scene here is not set in a so-called "deformed" growing environment, that is, sexual violence in childhood, unfortunate family, etc. On the contrary, Joe grew up in a In a family full of fatherly love and motherly love, the only thing that is not "perfect" is that "the mother doesn't care when she plays poker". The "deformity" in the future is not due to family influence. When he grew up, he went to the train with his good friend B to explore male and female love to establish an extremist organization. Joe has been living a happy life. There is nothing wrong with this life, but with age, more and more people, especially women, begin to criticize her behavior. When Joe faced HR, the female HR did not give her the understanding and love she needed, but asked her to go to therapy, on the grounds that other female colleagues were afraid that their husbands would be implicated. In that small self-help group, Joe took the host's advice to isolate himself from everything that could give her sexual fantasies. After that, she lay exhausted on the empty bed, trying to find inner peace, but a small gesture rekindled her sexual passion. She saw her younger self in the meeting where she decided to completely eliminate sexuality, and she decided to fight it hard.

The first is about physical liberation and the struggle against asceticism; the second is about the exposure of the hypocrisy of contemporary "feminism".
Do you know what is the most ironic of these two episodes? It was director Lars von Trier, a straight man with phobias who doubted he was descended from Nazis rather than Jews. Although the extreme experiences of women are performed by women, they are completed under the guidance of men. It is impossible not to question the interpretation of the so-called feminist rights.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II quotes

  • Joe: Each time a word becomes prohibited, you remove a stone from the Democratic foundation. Society demonstrates its impotence in the face of a concrete problem by removing words from the language. And I say that society is as cowardly as the people in it, who in my opinion are also too stupid for democracy.

  • Joe: The human qualities can be expressed in one word: Hypocrisy. We elevate those who say "right" but mean "wrong" and mock those who say "wrong" but mean "right." By the way, I can assure you that women who claim that negros don't turn them on, they're lying.
