I went to watch this show after reading an article by the blogger of the official account, so when I watched the third episode, I already knew the ending, which may also affect my bias, so I saw them In order to make Patus change his idea of modifying his children, I find it really difficult to convince me, but I still can't say which side I agree with.
In Mockler Nova, heavy industry is the primary industry. It is understandable that they need boys. They have a probability of giving birth to girls every 75 years. This also shows that they are basically a male society, but why girls are discriminated against. I don’t object to the fact that you need boys, but why do you want to modify a girl when you give birth to a girl? This is because they are not respected by Mockler Nova and cannot survive in their world. In fact, gender discrimination already exists.
From the perspective of the two partners of Patus, modification can make their children live and survive better. When Hevina appeared in court, the lawyer believed that she was disrespectful of the court (I'm really speechless, this discrimination is too big), and she has lived in the cave all her life, even if she is a celebrity, she still The name "he is male" and the gender of loneliness and women do make her think a lot and become famous, but how many such people can have, even if she is famous, she can't have a better life, still After spending her life in the cave, if Patus’ daughter grows up, I think her situation may be similar to or worse than that of Hevina. Later, they will be scorned by others).
From our point of view, whenever we encounter such a thing, we will definitely advise them not to modify, but their world has basically been like this, how can people from a few alien planets change their minds. When Patus met his partner, if the other party was a girl, would they continue to develop? This is also because this happened to them, coupled with the persuasion of colleagues, that allowed Patus to change for his daughter. Thoughts. This is the true portrayal of "If you can't change the world, then change yourself" (although the sentence "_" is not so reasonable).
Therefore, on the one hand, I am more inclined to perform modification surgery on her daughter. On the other hand, I do think that sexism on their planet is really annoying.
