After reading it, I think that what makes me think more deeply is that women in China's national conditions have the same legal rights and relatively equal job opportunities, but I can feel the profound repression and discrimination against women in the whole society all the time.
In the film, in a place where the law is above all else, winning valuable legal rights is a very important and practical step. And in a place where the law is less important than public opinion? The shackles of thousands of years will not be fundamentally changed by the improvement of the law.
The discrimination, ridicule and suppression that pervade every bit of life are the most vicious poisons. Often because they are so small and common, we don't even bother with their right or wrong. Even if it is discussed, there are 10,000 male-dominated "axioms" waiting for you, making you feel like a barking dog.
There is also a group of women in the film who stand up to the feminists more fiercely than men. There are countless examples in life, and a considerable part of the discrimination against women comes from the same sex. They are not aimed at women, but they are people who are content with the status quo who fear that the existing balance will be disrupted, and who also need a sense of recognition from men.
I hope that women will not be afraid to express their displeasure and opinions after being discriminated against implicitly or explicitly. A common tactic used by men in the film to attack feminists is that no one listens to what you say. Yes, maybe others will object, maybe no one will pay attention, but if you don't say it, no one will ever know. As Maud said in the film, "cause war is the only language men listen to". Language is also a struggle.
