中国的激进女权为何如此激进？恐弱与慕强：骂“婚驴”才是最深的厌女？一集解密这种看似厌男实则厌女的心理机制｜女性主义｜社会学｜心理学｜哲学｜

Hi everyone, I'm Anthony.

Welcome to my channel This video I want to talk to you about feminism.

Or feminism certainly This is a topic that is very likely to cause controversy.

The reason I want to talk about this The cause was a girl She shared her story with me a few days ago.

She a year ago Joined some radical online feminist communities Initially, she agreed with this.

But as she observed and reflected on these communities...

She began to have some doubts.

As a result, when she expressed her opinion...

He was subjected to cyberbullying by others in the community.

This still haunts her.

So What phenomenon did she observe?

First, she discovered Although in these communities Everyone is claiming to be pursuing women's liberation The banner of rebellion against patriarchy But in the air Yet, a suffocating atmosphere permeated the air.

An atmosphere of mutual censorship A vast and detailed set of charges is prevalent here.

For example, male chauvinism, misogyny, female rivalry, and pampered wives, etc. However, in many cases The target of everyone's attacks is not the external patriarchal system.

for example If a woman wants to marry a man That's the behavior of a "spoiled wife".

That is, willingly degenerating into slaves of the patriarchal system.

If she wants to dress herself up nicely Or want to pursue a certain boy It's about pleasing men.

Competition between females and brains These highly aggressive words It's not meant to insult men.

Instead, it poured onto the woman.

Under such high-pressure moral judgment These groups More and more strange rules and regulations have emerged.

Outsiders couldn't understand at first But upon closer examination...

It has a rigorous and closed logic.

for example They oppose women using cute avatars.

They even oppose having long hair, wearing skirts, and wearing makeup.

Because this is a manifestation of serving in the U.S. military.

They believe These women's outfits are essentially...

Catering to the male gaze is objectifying oneself.

Therefore, the only solution is to cut your hair short and wear unisex clothing.

Deliberately erasing female characteristics That is true awakening, transcending base desires.

Some of the rules are also strange.

For example, not allowing pets.

The logic here is that a woman who owns cats and dogs...

It's a simulation of being a mother.

This is actually It is to satisfy women Motherhood constructed by patriarchal culture Since even owning a cat is wrong...

Having an intimate relationship with a man is naturally even more sinful.

In this narrative Heterosexual marriage, having sex with men Even having sexual fantasies about a certain man All of these are betrayals of the collective interests of women.

for example They call married women "marriage donkeys".

It means being driven by one's husband like a donkey.

They believe Women are natural victims in this structure.

Marriage system It is patriarchy A typical manifestation of the enslavement and persecution of women Therefore, if a woman Unaware of their victimhood Instead, they violated these rules to date and get married.

So when she experienced domestic violence and infidelity Or some other unfortunate event They will receive no sympathy.

This is similar to the saying, "Thoughts must be worthy of suffering."

For example, the famous blogger Papi Jiang from a few years ago.

She posted a Weibo post about becoming a mother.

She is holding her child in the photo.

Being a mother is tiring However, she was attacked by many people in the comments section.

For example, some people felt sorry for her.

He said he felt sorry for her.

Mingming is such an independent and outstanding woman He embarked on the donkey's path Some critics said there was no need to feel sorry for him.

She brought it on herself.

Some people also said Since she is married So it means selling one's uterus.

Core Values In the field of literary and artistic works They also have a very radical set of values.

That is extreme admiration for the strong and hatred for the weak.

For example, regarding Lin Yihan's novel Fang Si-qi's First Love Paradise It contains unhealthy ideas It is a "vulnerable woman narrative" that leads women to self-destruction.

Because of this novel It shows a girl's complex psychology towards the perpetrator.

In Lin Yi-han's words This is a story about a young girl falling in love with her seducer.

Under immense trauma Victims sometimes force themselves Rationalizing the harm suffered This is a completely understandable idea.

But they saw this as a sign that she wasn't a strong enough female lead.

They believe A woman facing sexual assault No fierce resistance Did not protect yourself Without hatred There were even attempts to rationalize it.

Then such people deserve to suffer.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

To resist male oppression They took the lead by using even stricter standards.

oppressed himself It also oppressed its own kind.

So Is there some underlying psychological and sociological law?

To explain this seemingly misogynistic...

Is it actually a case of misogyny?

We can learn from history and reality Have you found similar cases?

This is the topic we'll be discussing in this video.

I will upload this video.

Included in the list of "Psychology and Education" if Do you have any topics you'd like to discuss or consult with me about?

You can contact me via email to make an appointment.

So before we discuss this topic...

Let's broaden our perspective.

Returning to the origins of feminist theory As In her book "Feminism," Li Yinhe outlines...

Feminism is not monolithic.

In the long river of history They can be broadly divided into four major schools.

Liberalism, Socialism, Radicals, and Postmodernism Let's first look at liberal feminism This may be the earliest and most mainstream school of thought It originated in the 18th century.

Western middle-class women's communities Enlightenment thought advocates that all people are born equal.

Everyone possesses equal potential for rational thinking.

The French Revolution will The slogans of liberty, equality, and fraternity have spread throughout the world.

However The reality is that women are excluded from social life.

therefore Liberal feminism believes Women should enjoy the same rights as men.

Strive for equal opportunities with men The liberal viewpoint can be expressed as In a fair society Everyone should receive Opportunity to realize one's potential Men and women should have equal opportunities to compete.

They believe Barriers in social structure It can be overcome by personal effort Women appear less capable than men It's because they didn't receive the same treatment.

Educational opportunities Therefore, liberal feminism opposes gender differences.

Emphasizing the commonalities between men and women Demanding equal employment rights The right to education and the right to vote Let women enter the public sphere like men Compete fairly with men However, this viewpoint was later opposed by socialism.

Or rather, a Marxist feminist rebuttal.

Socialist feminists believe liberal feminists are too naive.

That's too elitist.

She simply made a small number of elite women the leading ladies.

But it ignored countless women from the lower classes.

Struggling on the assembly line Then they said they weren't working hard enough.

This is actually a tacit acceptance.

The capitalist system is rational A typical example is early 20th century French feminists met to discuss Should maids be given one day off per week?

As a result, those middle-class families who employed maids...

feminists With overwhelming advantage The proposal to give maids a day off was rejected.

so Socialist feminism believes You women's image as leading ladies It is based on the exploitation of women at the bottom of society.

Therefore if Without overthrowing the capitalist economic system and the concept of private property The status of women will not improve However By the 1960s A new faction emerged It criticizes both liberals and socialists.

This is radical feminism Radicals said The socialists are not radical enough.

You believe you only oppose capitalism It's still too conservative.

Not thorough enough Because in places without capitalism Men still oppress women then Radical feminism puts forward a bold viewpoint Gender oppression is the oldest form of gender oppression in human society.

The most fundamental form of oppression Other forms of oppression For example, racism, class oppression All of these are related to gender oppression.

Radical feminism believes Men and women are fundamentally different A person who is aggressive and evil Throughout history, women have been ruled, oppressed, and exploited.

Therefore, personal problems are political problems. To be aware of all the oppression one suffers Both originated from gender hierarchy.

This divides the world into victims and perpetrators.

Oppositional views This led to separatism In other words They believe that women should think well You have to completely abstain from men.

Separation from patriarchal society Create an all-female space Women should date other women.

Radical feminism claims Our own school of feminist theory is the purest Completely untouched by patriarchal influence However This thoroughness leads to a strange conclusion.

That is, since under any system Oppression of women will occur in all of these situations.

Therefore, the reason for women's oppression is not class.

Rather, it is due to physiological structure.

Some radicals believe Female physiological structure This led to Women are more likely to do things that are subservient to men.

For example, a woman has a uterus and wants to get pregnant.

And breastfeeding, childbirth, etc. This makes women more prone to becoming emotional and tender.

Emotional This could lead to being controlled by men.

Similarly, male aggression This is also because men have physiological factors such as testosterone.

In *The Dialectics of Sexuality*, Firestone points out...

The maturation period for infants is very long.

This made the decision.

Infants need to rely on adults for a long time.

They especially depend on their mother's breast milk to survive.

at the same time Childbirth weakens a woman's constitution.

This forces them to rely on men for survival.

Therefore, women's liberation depends on a biological revolution.

And a series of related technological advancements This revolution Not only should infants be raised without breast milk.

Furthermore, the birthing process must be separated from the uterus.

Only in this way can women's dependence on men be truly eliminated.

However, if they think Only by stopping women Exercising female-specific physiological functions Only when women can achieve equality She was actually subconsciously...

It acknowledges a core logic of patriarchy.

The male body is standard and superior.

A woman's body is incomplete and a burden.

Or rather, those characteristics they perceive in women For example, having emotional needs, being sentimental, being gentle, etc. This is itself a sign of weakness.

It has original sin.

However Isn't this itself an extremely misogynistic logic?

This is like saying To eliminate racial discrimination from white people We can invent a technology Bleaching the skin of all Black people This has indeed eliminated discrimination.

But this is achieved by eliminating the identity of the person involved.

To achieve This explains The case we mentioned at the beginning of the video That is, those radicals on the Chinese internet.

They believe Just one woman Possessing those mainstream-recognized feminine traits Injury is inevitable.

Therefore, it is necessary to use technical means or behavioral regulation.

Make yourself less like a woman There are also some more radical feminist factions.

Even believe It's all because Women in ancient times did not fiercely resist male oppression.

This led to the overall domestication of women.

The woman's genes have deteriorated.

This logic sounds terrifying.

Like some people Accusing those who struggle to survive under tyranny Why don't you people resist?

Not resisting means you've already developed a servile mentality.

So all the suffering you've endured is deserved.

More should be killed that's why Many of them appear to be champions of resisting oppression Groups pursuing independence and liberation In the end, it was the oppressor who most identified with him.

Radicals dislike It wasn't actually a specific woman.

Rather, it is that vulnerable one, the one who needs to be cherished.

Self with emotional needs so When they saw The vulnerability revealed by Lin Yihan in her novel I saw a mother holding her child and complaining of being tired.

or When I see an ordinary girl putting on makeup and dating You will feel angry Because these images reminded them The soft parts of a woman's body This can also explain Why this theory Often only a portion of separatist lesbians Or in groups that have experienced extreme trauma Resonate For more women

That is, those who have a father, boyfriend, husband, and son.

And in life For women who have a certain emotional connection with men This theory of complete separation from men It's hard to accept.

For radical feminism Another common criticism is that It absolutizes and essentializes female identity.

Radicals like to say Women all over the world share a common destiny.

Our common enemy is men.

But this presupposes...

Gender oppression is faced by all women The only or most fundamental oppression But let's imagine such a scenario A couple who left their hometown From inland areas Young couples who go to Guangzhou or Shenzhen to work They all do very low-level jobs.

For example, women working on assembly lines in electronics factories.

Men work as construction workers or security guards.

The foreman or manager of this electronics factory It just so happens to be a local woman But this female leader They don't think everyone is part of a women's community.

instead It may have revealed strong discrimination against these female workers.

For example, mocking these female workers for coming from rural areas.

He likes to steal things and has no sense of hygiene.

And when this female worker returned home after a long day's work...

Seeing her husband looking exhausted at the construction site So they comforted each other.

Let's all curse those unscrupulous bosses!

At this time If a feminist comes out and says you need to wake up Although that female leader discriminated against you However, she was also poisoned by patriarchal society.

She as a woman Under a patriarchal factory management system There was no other way.

But ultimately, she is your ally.

Although your husband treats you well...

But ultimately, he is a beneficiary of the patriarchal system.

So that you can be his maid for a long time in the future.

I think this woman heard these words I will never feel understood I just felt it was arrogant.

They tried to use gender as the only yardstick.

To measure the complex world But it ignored class The huge gap brought about by profession and region Speaking of this We have already given a brief introduction to liberalism Socialism and Radicalism These three major feminist schools If we take a step back Examine them from a more macro perspective You will find Although their theoretical starting points are very different But in treating women as a political subject

When mobilized They all, more or less There is a tendency towards collectivism.

That is, attempting to define a standard image of womanhood.

To suppress each specific Living female individuals We can try Rank them by their degree of collectivism First, liberal feminism This faction is the most vocal about individual rights.

In history It has also effectively promoted tremendous progress in women's rights.

This is certainly undeniable.

But its collectivism is implicit.

because It presupposes a standard template for successful women.

For example, getting a job at a prestigious company, becoming a senior executive, and earning a high salary.

Pursuing the same level of success as men, etc. Although this template is not explicitly stated But it created an invisible pressure.

if You choose to be a housewife content with the status quo.

Or be an ordinary, unambitious employee.

You seem to be an unqualified modern woman.

You're not improving enough.

This is a kind of implicit elitist discipline.

Next is socialist feminism.

The level of collectivism here is much higher.

In their narratives I am first and foremost a member of the exploited class.

Secondly, it's about myself.

My suffering is not just a personal experience.

Rather, it is a footnote to structural oppression.

Therefore, if I focus on personal little joys Or pursuing a personal aesthetic that transcends class narratives It is often regarded as a kind of The degeneration of petty-bourgeois sentiment It was even considered a betrayal of my class stance.

The highest degree of collectivism Undoubtedly a radical In their view Gender is more than just identity It is also a class It is a camp in the war.

As we analyzed earlier To win this war against men Every woman was drafted into the army.

Your body, your hairstyle, your sexual orientation Your entire way of life has been weaponized.

All must submit to the overthrow of patriarchy This highest collective goal When these thoughts Defining gender as a person's highest status When the highest priority identity is When a person always tries to see things from a collective perspective When defining the goal This can easily lead to the suppression of individuals.

Because in reality Free from class, race, age, and educational background The so-called total liberation of women It doesn't actually exist.

The Liberation a Poor Old Woman Needs A liberation needed by urban white-collar workers Possibly completely different Even a woman's core needs at age 20 and core needs at age 30 They are also completely different And when we always want to define a unified...

Women's collective interests And they believe that the interests of the collective are paramount.

When the liberation of the collective takes precedence over the liberation of the individual.

Once put into practical operation All of this can easily become a kind of Interference and control over others It may even evolve into a new form of hegemony.

Because who defined the so-called collective interest?

Whoever has the right of interpretation A set of standards for progress and reaction can then be established.

then A small group of the earliest awakened vanguard The regulations began to be stipulated Which behavior represents the direction of historical progress?

For example, not getting married or having children.

Which one goes against the tide?

For example, getting married and having children.

This is precisely what empowers the collective.

Legitimate interference in personal life The right to reshape one's thoughts This moral standard This extends into the most private personal sphere.

This is like the old days.

Like the theory of class struggle that is expanded indefinitely There will always be someone who accuses others of revisionism.

It is impure.

Then came the constant factional struggles.

With their definition of the bourgeoisie Becoming increasingly broad Ultimately, it evolved into wanting to live a slightly better life.

Wear a nice dress You then have a bourgeois style This way of thinking It always requires human intervention.

Creating a contradiction between a priori and absolute.

Even in reality That specific person wasn't that bad.

She should also be defined as a victim.

Then, in the guise of a savior or vanguard...

Go to save and awaken her This logic Almost every community in Chinese society and in ideology In other words, everyone is very enthusiastic about setting moral standards.

To forcibly transform and awaken others Instead of first trying to understand, listen to, and see the other person Then someone might ask...
