I would rather die with "hands" than marry an inflatable doll

As far as I'm concerned, I think it's a critical movie with a comedy cover and a serious discussion of "patriarchal" social issues.
All problems are two-sided. The existence of "patriarchy" is rooted in the long-standing patriarchal social civilization. For a long time, men with more physical strength have dominated the development of productive forces, naturally owning most of the social wealth, and can easily marginalize women as their appendages.
So, has this situation improved when mental labor has replaced manual labor as the main engine of social development? More than half a century after the "feminist movement" has been in full swing, do men and women occupy equal weights in the redistribution of social wealth? The icy social reality set his wrinkled face and told us that the answer was no.
Needless to say, in most jobs, a female worker has to achieve the same level of achievement as a male of the same age, and her sweat-to-effort ratio is at least 3.0 and above. It is precisely because of such asymmetric social games and the inevitable task of childbirth and childbirth that women have to undertake, that many women are already timid before entering society.
This cowardice has a very uniform expression, that is, most women have an idea in their hearts - marry a good man. Of course, men also dream of marrying a perfect wife, the difference is that when more men conceive their dream lover, the first core concept that pops up is "beautiful", followed by "tenderness". Kindness" and other quality conditions, and the word "career" will be ranked in the lower order. This is not the case for women. The first criterion for measuring an ideal object is often the social resources that he can control, among which are nothing more than "wealth", "power", "personal connections", "wisdom", etc. These can be roughly summed up as Elements of the category "business".
Therefore, from the perspective of women, the root cause of the injustice is that the long history of the patriarchal clan has imprinted the subconsciousness of "depending on the strong" on women. For a long time, "gentleness", "kindness" and "sympathy", which tend to favor women, have subtly conveyed the code of "submission" to women. As a result, when a woman has the advantages of some masculine praise words, she can easily stand out from the crowd and stand out in her career, such as "resolute", "strong" and "rational", and is recognized by the mainstream social values.
Therefore, the difficulty in solving the problem of equality between men and women is the same as the capitalism that has sprung up in ancient China for centuries - the capitalists make money, not thinking about expanding the scale of production and promoting the circulation of capital, but donating an official to future generations. "Perfect Merit". Today, after the bright and beautiful women appear on the cover of magazines, how many people will they lose the motivation and direction of "reproduction" because they escape into the empty door of "family"? How many successful women exhort their daughters with tears in their boudoirs, "Don't live as tired as mothers in the future." I don't need to point out the next sentence that is about to come out.
Then there's something more directly related to the movie. As a man, do some people really think that a woman who is compliant and has no personality is the perfect wife in his mind? I can't kidnap the interests of all men with my moral standards, but personally, the answer is definitely no. Maybe most people don't like women with too strong personality, but even if the inflatable doll has all the life skills such as washing, cooking, raising children, etc., it is impossible to become the most ideal life partner in the minds of men.
To use an inappropriate analogy, if a man is faced with such a choice, a hand-built Ferrari, which burns oil, is difficult to drive, and is tired of minor problems, and a Corolla produced by the assembly line, which is fuel-efficient, easy to drive, and looks good. Nice, what do you think he would choose?
No matter how perfect an inflatable doll is, it is just a beautiful nanny without a soul, and a woman with flesh and blood is an exclusive wife that a man cannot replicate. This is such a simple truth.
