What does pastoral feminism mean?

Women's rights in rural areas of China, which is a freak mixed with feudal remnants of China and western rights consciousness. These women have no idea what women's rights are in their bones. I envy the benefits of others, but I don't want to give up the old almanac. This double standard, in the final analysis, is an extremely utilitarian and greedy selfishness. They don't think about right or wrong. As long as this theory is beneficial to them, they will admire it in every way. Only China's unique social culture can produce such wonderful "feminists", who, like Japanese and Korean women, demand men to earn money to support their families and have the freedom and right to evade obligations like European and American women. You talk to her about women's rights, and she talks to you about tradition; You and he really broke the tradition. She returned to feminism. This is why I have always despised so-called modern women who are highly educated and still full of feudal colors. On the one hand, they want to fall in love freely, and on the other hand, they want to have a bride price. While calling for gender equality, he insisted that men should support their families. While being lazy, greedy and spendthrift, he asked men to live gently, diligently and thoughtfully. You want to be a cow and a horse for me, because this is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation, and I want to be my own queen, because this is the embodiment of western progressive thought. There are various requirements for men to have a car and a house to earn money and take care of their families. It is euphemistically called that a big man should be capable and responsible. When it comes to his obligations, he will put it in another way. Also euphemistically called what era it is now. You old feudalists still want to oppress women, and we have to fight for freedom. When it comes to work, it is dirty work, dangerous manual work, soft and weak. Say, "How dare you let girls do it?" In terms of recruitment, promotion and salary, you will strongly criticize the society for discriminating against women and not giving us equal treatment and opportunities. If you want someone or meet someone you like, you will sell all kinds of cute girls to show weakness and not hide your arrogance at all. People will think you are cold and arrogant. Why do we women please men, huh? It won't be a woman, will it? There is no benefit. Real rights come from a free, independent and self-respecting individual. Women actually have no conscious independence and self-esteem. What about women's rights? Stop joking. They are always just arrogant and willful species attached to men. Without reciprocal obligations, how can there be equal rights? These pseudo-feminists just like to use chicken feathers as an arrow and women's rights as an excuse to earn benefits for themselves. They don't care what feminism is. What does pastoral feminism mean? Pastoral feminism requires equality between men and women, but requires men to bear the responsibility of a patriarchal society. For example, men are required to buy a house and a car, while women are not. Traditionally, China's pastoral feminism refers to the feminist ideas put forward by some domestic women, which is characterized by the pursuit of women's income maximization under the pretext of feminism. China pastoral feminists put forward a series of "feminist propositions", which seem to be varied, but in fact, it is very simple to sum up, that is, as long as they are good, they are irresponsible. There are mainly the following three points: 1, self-awareness of women's inferiority, men's nobility, being ashamed of doing women's work, and being proud of doing men's work, so as a "feminist", I naturally oppose women's engaging in "lowly women's work". 2. Admit that women are inferior to men, and think that women can't compete fairly with men for social resources, so they will naturally get less. Therefore, as a "feminist", it is natural to advocate a more female-oriented scheme in the distribution system to pursue "feminist equality." 3. Pastoral feminists often regard the "materialized women" part of male chauvinism as the truth. Like self-materialization, they don't admit that individual will is also a part of rights (such as affection and love), but only exchange realistic materials. Commodities don't need personal likes and dislikes, just need to sell at a good price. To put it bluntly, you are selling your "Yangzhou Thin Horse" at a high price. This is why China's pastoral feminism is called "pseudo-feminism". To put it bluntly, these rural women's rights are nothing more than parasites who want to lie on the body of a patriarchal society and suck blood. Do you really think that they are real women's rights that really pursue equality and independence? Actually, it's not at all It's just that the supply and demand of high-quality men in the blind date market are seriously unbalanced. They can't find a stronger backer than themselves, and they don't want to settle for ordinary people. In theory, they adopt radical feminism and criticize the present situation of male oppression reflected by gender inequality, but at the same time they deviate from the fundamental demands of feminism for equal rights between men and women and put forward the style of "women enjoy rights". The wrong idea of "male obligation" is intended to achieve the morbid psychological purpose of secularism and the hypocritical purpose under the guidance of hedonism's wrong world outlook in a way of "public opinion moral kidnapping". If you have grievances, vent them on a few vulnerable men and most ordinary men, and form a powerful pastoral feminist group through gangs. There are not so many high-quality men assigned to them, so they like to make trouble, but they look down on the weaker ones. They thought they would do it, but there was no way out, so they embarked on the road of rural women's rights. If she is a truly independent woman who supports equal rights in Europe and America, she will be happy to marry a small nursing dog to her home and be the queen herself, because she has a house and a car and the economy is good. What does pastoral feminism mean? 3 1. Against women's interests/feminism. That is, women who want to "take advantage" but are unwilling to "take responsibility" in sexual relations and their views. Most of Zhihu's discourses can be attributed to feminism, and all the examples come from personal experience. For example, the deeds of a certain woman or a group of women who are "selfish and emphasize independence" in class, work unit and marriage relationship. Or female users' comments on the Internet (for example, independent women should not do housework, and men should earn money to support women), and even some imaginary jokes (I smoke and drink and get tattoos, but I am a good girl, and you cheat on me and I am love rat) have become evidence to support Ta's opposition to "rural women's rights". To put it simply, TAs are opposed to the view that "women should have higher status or get more resources than men". Theoretically speaking, feminism is a variant of male power, and feminists are opposed to it, no matter whether men are superior to women or women are superior to men. But the words used by critics are neither patriarchy nor feminism, but pastoral feminism and pseudo-feminism. This should not be because this proposition has nothing to do with women's rights, but when it is called "pastoral women's rights", it implies that women's rights have led to this radical idea. On the contrary, this radical idea is a stress response to the patriarchal society and a variant of patriarchy. The use of the word "pastoral feminism" means that even ta will say that it supports gender equality, but there is no reflection on the system at all. In other words, TAs don't really understand what gender equality is. Feminism is not opposed to the group of "men", but to the unequal patriarchal system. Under this system, men monopolize most of the resources, while women suffer large and small discrimination because of their gender. But people who use "pastoral feminism" understand that "feminism" is a challenge and attack to men and a life-and-death battle between men and women. Based on this, the examples they cited are all contradictions between men and women in daily life. As a newly coined word, "pastoral feminism" magnifies these misunderstandings and creates a stigmatized feminist imagination based on a large number of personal experiences. 2. Class view. "The core of rural women's rights is not equal rights at all, but whether there is money (for me). There is no money in the silk, and even breathing is not right. " Zhihu's high answer made me a little indigestion. First, she took a screenshot of Weibo, who believed that the value of a woman lies in getting married and having children, and then pointed out that Weibo, who is so patriarchal, has not been strongly refuted by any opinion leader of "pastoral feminism", indicating that "pastoral feminism" only looks down on the poor. Although the logic of this high-vote answer is amazing, we can still talk about the discrimination suffered by "Phoenix Man" and "Diaosi" in the class context (a popular view is that "Phoenix Man" has a lot to do with "straight male cancer"). Teacher Sun Jinyu said that from the experience, the oppression of women at the bottom of society is often more serious than that at the upper middle class. Feminism is always accepted by the upper middle class first. This has led to a reality: the advocacy of women's rights has led to accusations from poor individuals at the bottom. This is really worth thinking about by domestic feminists. However, if class injustice is pointed at gender discrimination, it not only confuses the real enemy (unfair social distribution system) and allies (only those who are squeezed by the system, such as the poor class, sexual minorities and women, should unite), but also proves that men still regard women as their own property. When a person sees a sentence that is very patriarchal, he thinks, "No woman will refute it, just because the other person is rich. If diaosi said that, he would have been scolded to death ",and when he was labeled as" rural women's rights ",it at least showed that Ta was not interested in women's rights, but was concerned about the class problems within men under the patriarchal system. And such an answer has become a high-vote answer, which shows a social mentality. In fact, the group holding this view has proved that they are supporters of patriarchy and oppose feminism, while TAs still use the word "pastoral feminism" to attack the ideas they oppose, which shows that opposing "pastoral feminism" is actually opposing "feminism". 3. Racial perspective. These three types of people are probably the least popular on the Internet in China: feminists, ethnic minorities and foreigners. To sum up, mainstream netizens (young Han men below the middle class) think that these people have encroached on their resources. Many words in Zhihu depict feminists as hating China men and respecting foreign men. The article Coldplay connects feminists with foreigners, and tells the story of a feminist who organized China women to engage in prostitution for foreigners, which directly detonated two bombs. From this point of view, women regard themselves as the resources of their own ethnic groups, which is very explicit. It has nothing to do with women's rights in any case, but they still aim at "rural women's rights" and are actually attacking women's rights. All these objections to "pastoral feminism", "pseudo feminism", "feminist bitch" and "feminist cancer" (how many words have been coined? ) will only have a single imagination of women's rights in China: there are problems with women's rights. At this point, it is obvious that anyone who considers himself a feminist or supports gender equality should stop using the word "pastoral feminism". From the wide spread and application of this word, we can also see how difficult it is to promote the concept of feminism and do feminist work in China. Now that I have clarified so much, it seems that I should talk about what feminism is. This is a very big topic. To discuss it in the historical context, what I know is only a scratch. The important foundation of feminism is to question the view that men and women are essentially different based on biological differences. Feminism holds that women are the product of social and cultural construction. The so-called femininity is influenced by class, nationality, religion, education and other factors. So in different social and historical stages, the understanding of femininity/masculinity is different. Modern society is used to using pink to represent women and blue to represent men (toilet sign), but in the American publication Earnshaws InfantsDepartment of 19 18, we can still read the following sentence: "Pink is a brighter and denser color, which is more suitable for boys, while blue is more refined and elegant, which makes girls look better." There are too many such examples. In short, biological differences are not enough to draw the conclusion that women should be like this or men should be like this, let alone that women are inferior to men in strength and intelligence. In other words, it is culture that shapes the differences between men and women. Even for contemporary philosophers like Judith Butler, even the framework of gender (male/female) is problematic. We have no gender subjects at all, only acting. I don't think it is necessary to go to Judith Butler's side in the current public discussion. At least the following points are not difficult to understand, and it should be recognized that the current world is based on the patriarchal system that gives men more rights and resources, which is unfair; Because of this patriarchal system, many women are suffering from physical violence, such as forced rape, domestic violence, circumcision and so on. This is unfair; Because of this patriarchal system, many women are sexually harassed, discriminated, assigned more housework, paid less, and regarded as ignorant of politics, which is unreasonable. Self-identity is an important anthropological proposition. There is no need to accept the bullying and discrimination suffered by a single woman in China. I don't like this kind of "confession to ancestors" full of nationalist pride. What I capture is the power relationship and gender inequality hidden behind this word. Women are eternal immigrants in this world. I am not a fatalist. What supports me to continue to do things is a Marxist optimism. I believe that free creation beyond identity can provide opportunities for human beings to change the world. I think it is possible for us to make some choices at present. The big background is not for us to decide, but some small choices can reflect our moral values and ideas. Everyone's experience is similar, full of ups and downs, and the most important question is what kind of life you want to live in the constant "choice".
