I'm copying and pasting some ideas I've come across here:

“When women are moved by [humanity] in danmei, whose [gender position] are they empathizing with?

As we try to answer these questions, we'll naturally notice the following:

1. If men become the interpreters of [humanity] in women's ingrained understanding through subtle conditioning, what place do women assign themselves? When it comes to interpreting humanity, are women ‘unqualified,’ or are they simply a blank slate?

2. If women gradually become accustomed to empathizing with humanity from a male perspective, then, in the reality of a patriarchy where men oppress women in every way, how will these women understand humanity from a [female perspective]?

I think the answer is already clear in your heart.

In the thousands of years of human patriarchal civilization, the assumption that [men represent humanity] or [men are qualified to interpret humanity] has been an unspoken premise in virtually every poem, novel, play, painting, and other cultural work across all cultures. It is the subtext they convey and the foundational understanding they continually reinforce. In this civilization, women cannot represent humanity. Women are portrayed as a subspecies of humanity that requires the special qualification ‘she is a woman.’ They are dull and predictable, easy to sum up and categorize: saintly mothers, witches and whores, without thoughts or wisdom. How could they have souls or spirits, let alone bear the weight of the word ‘humanity’?

Why does danmei provoke such a deep, [humiliating] sting in the eyes of feminists? Because under patriarchy, only women themselves can write women into personhood, and no one else; only women themselves can stand up and cry out, at the risk of everything, ‘Women are human too!’ and no one else; only women themselves can write women from ‘nothing’ into ‘something,’ fill them from ‘black and white’ with ‘color,’ build them from ‘lighter than a feather’ into ‘heavier than Mount Tai,’ and turn ‘trickling streams’ into ‘vast oceans.’

And danmei, created and enjoyed by women: the more it grows, the more it means that the only writers, rescuers, and liberators, women themselves, are diverting ever more of their strength into submitting to the male-centered narrative that has dominated for thousands of years, enriching, contributing to, and serving the [discourse around male humanity] that has long swollen out of proportion in human culture. In the process, women abandon their own gender's perspective on humanity and become intoxicated with their own self-abandonment. This is worse than degradation, more humiliating than defeat.

This is retreat. This is surrender. This is an appalling act of self-destruction.”

This is only part of the passage. It seems to have been copied from Weibo in the JJ comment section.

So why should I put a layer of sandpaper between myself and what I want to write? Why not speak plainly, instead of being oppressed into writing a product of the male gaze?

I can't accept depictions of men entering women in traditional sex, as it makes me personally uncomfortable. If the perspective focuses entirely on men, can I get the equality I want? Of course not.

Even reading only danmei with a top protagonist can't give me equality. There is almost no female perspective here, and what little there is belongs to marginalized women. Reading danmei with a top protagonist is completely missing the point. Wrapping it in a fig leaf can't change the fact that, in a patriarchal society, it's a subjective avoidance of the female perspective. Can the female perspective in danmei ever take up more space than the female perspective in women-centered stories with female protagonists? Of course not.

And the penetration and sexual-romance elements of GB are just another product of the male gaze. Of course, having a female perspective is better than having a purely male one. I don't want years of avoidance to dull my edge. I've never been willing to be shackled by anything. Reading danmei again would only add more shackles.

If you'd like to think about some deeper topics, I recommend Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex and Chizuko Ueno's Misogyny. I won't say more about the rest. Women's fiction sites should belong to women. Women are born with a female perspective. Women are the primary sex, not the secondary sex, to be erased by unreasonable rules. That's all.

Before anything else, in bold and highlighted:

1. Readers must be at least 18 years old. You need to have a normal life of your own (ideally your own sex life) and be an adult with sound values. Otherwise, please don't read this. Thank you.

2. If you're under 18 and don't have sound values or independent thought, you're still growing up, so please don't read this. Read more classics and study hard.

3. If you're curious about sex, look up proper biology lessons online. Sex education courses are available online now; search Bilibili. There are many serious educational videos. Don't watch all kinds of inappropriate videos or read trashy writing. Most of it is harmful. This story is mainly for indulging in fantasy. Children who aren't mature, please don't read it. I won't take responsibility for anything baseless.

4. This story is a deep pit: it's long and goes deep. I won't abandon it, but updates come once every season. Enter at your own risk.

The protagonist's dark side is loading...

Note: I've been rather irritable lately, so I'm changing the protagonist's personality and the blurb.

The protagonist's orientation and pairing haven't changed, but their personality will. I've locked the story for revisions. Lately, everything I've found to read has been unbearable, to the point of making me physically sick.

The protagonist I originally wrote was pretty mild-tempered, but sorry, the author has gone dark and can't write a gentle protagonist anymore. So the protagonist is heading down the irritable route and never coming back.
