Synopsis
The female-oriented fiction scene, especially Jinjiang, has long classified novels according to sexual and romantic relationships. What does it mean to classify works this way? It means women must depend on men, and women are not the subjects of their own stories. What does it mean to depend on men?
Just look at the categories:
Danmei: male protagonists who fall in love. No CP: no romance or sexual relationships. Romance: a romantic plot involving a woman and a man, with the woman dependent on him (that is, whether the story has a romantic plot centered on a relationship with a man). As a result, women's adventures, fantasies, ideals, strength, dreams, futures, thoughts, experiences, and bonds with their friends, their stories, are always ignored. Female readers are influenced from the outset by categories that define women in terms of their dependence on men. Their only choices are to make the story entirely about him or partly about him. Only a few women, those in yuri and no-CP stories, or in romance stories where the heroine has little or no romantic plot, escape this. Even then, they are labeled: in yuri, one is the top and one is the bottom; or, although there is no CP, everyone but the protagonist gets a story about men. She may be strong, but she's an exception. No one cares about the rest of them, because the world belongs to men, and they are nowhere to be seen. There is only one woman, struggling alone among them. And then there are stories about women, but people are always anxiously asking, how can there be no men? What are they supposed to do without men? Are they still themselves without them? Even when women are powerful and united, calm and clever, helping one another and overcoming obstacles, people still think that if they reject men, they are no longer complete. Why is it like this? In real life, are you only yourself if you are rooted in a man? Even if you are brave and hardworking, even if you strive and stay strong, even if you believe you can win and support yourself, in the end, do you still feel that without a perfect man, you are no longer a complete woman? Is that really true?
Under this vicious system of classification, every genre must first consider whether it has anything to do with men, instead of allowing a protagonist to explore the world as an independent person. What does it mean to be an independent person? As an individual, what matters first are her thoughts and experiences, not her romantic life with someone. An independent person is guided first by her own wishes and ideas. Removing sexual and romantic relationships does not make her less human. She is still herself, with her own personality, friends, strengths and flaws, ways of handling things, and logic. But under this vicious system, none of that exists. This classification, which depends on and sells stories about relationships with men, makes women readers see a sexual-orientation label and immediately think, "What is the protagonist's relationship with men?" instead of asking, "What kind of person is she? How will she act? What kind of future does she want? What path will she choose? How will she grow? What's her personality like? What is her world like? What adventures will she choose? What path has she traveled? What trials has she faced with her friends? What obstacles has she overcome?" These are the things we naturally care about because we are human. When a person is stripped from her environment and forced into a sexual relationship, she can no longer realize any part of herself unless it depends on something that, in real life, is only a tiny fragment of a person's life: sex, or rather, love with a man. So her life and death, her happiness and dreams, her pursuits and ideals, her progress and adventures are all tied to one man connected to her, or a group of men, as if she were a creation with no self of her own, devoting her whole life and effort to shaping a perfect man, finding one who suits her, and then being with him, instead of being a real person who cares about her own character, growth, progress, and fulfillment.
I can't help but ask: Does she, dependent on someone else and trapped by categories based on sexual relationships, really still have a self? In these categories, who are readers really focused on? The woman forced to depend on men, or the man who holds power? Why are people so delighted and excited when the men appear? Because the objects of their dependence, the men, have finally arrived! As dependent objects, these women must have even more fascinating objects to depend on. If the women are already so fascinating, the men must be even more so! Only the men's brilliance can fully explain the source of the women's brilliance.
Is that how it is? Does it have to be? Can't women be fascinating without men? Why do people think that?
Have you ever seen her? Have you ever seen them? Have you ever seen her as the protagonist, learned who she was when she was alive and real, gone on adventures with her, explored the world with her, laughed with them, written stories with them? Is your attention on her and their stories, or on her dependence on him? I want to ask: Do they really belong to themselves? When they stand alive before you, are you thinking about them and their stories, or have you been influenced and deceived into seeking out the story between the man they depend on and the woman forced to depend on him? Do you still have a self? Does she still have a self? Even when the women in a book have a self, are you, the one reading them and writing comments, forcing them to lose themselves and depend on him and the other men? Are you also one of those who strips them of their personalities and selves? Are you still a complete woman? Or do you also believe that you need a man to shine, even if he is only in the background, contributes nothing, has no charm, and is always stealing her spotlight, in order for you to sparkle like a star?
Can we really have a self?
He has the male-oriented fiction scene, but she has never had a female-oriented one of her own. She is merely one among countless dependents who does not want to depend on him. But why is it always so hard for her? She defeats her own weakness and becomes brave. She silences countless voices of opposition because she firmly believes her choice has a future. She finds the others, each of them just like her, and they join her after overcoming the parts of themselves that were not strong enough. In my eyes, they deserve all my respect. They want to tell all women, "I am myself. I have a self. I am a person. I am on an adventure." And yet they still don't receive all the applause they deserve.
Have they not done enough? Have they not risen high enough?
They overcome hardship and charge forward without hesitation, but their brilliance is always overshadowed by a brief appearance from one of the men. The women among the readers cheer for the men, applauding them, even as they themselves are covered in wounds and can only silently polish their swords, which have slain countless monsters along the way, from some corner, watching the men take the laurels they should have earned. The men may have done nothing but show up, yet the crowd still goes wild.
Why treat them this way?
Perhaps it's because this fictional world has never cared about them or their adventures, only about their relationships with men.
I love my girls too much to keep writing.
I'm online on 5G. I'm so sick of a certain man. I don't pay attention to him usually, but when I see his outrageous antics, I feel like he's losing it, cashing in on the character's popularity and, of course, dragging the character to hell with him.
----- Read the one-line summary. Fans of Runyu and a certain man are in for trouble. I changed it because I hate that lowlife, so I'm going to step on him. If you liked the original, please remove it from your collection as soon as possible. Thank you.
The original blurb. I'm not continuing it, but I like looking back at my old, awkward writing and reminiscing about my youth. I'm not deleting it.

5L, look at this paragraph: "When a woman is emotional for [humanity] in Danmei, which [gender position] of humanity is she empathizing with? In trying to answer these two questions, we will naturally notice: 1. If men subtly become the interpreters of [human nature] in women's cognitive inertia, then what position are women placed in by women themselves? Are women "not qualified enough" for the task of interpreting human nature, or are they simply blank? 2. If women gradually become accustomed to feeling empathy for the humanity from the male perspective, then in the patriarchal reality where men actually oppress women in all aspects, how will such women understand the humanity from the female perspective? I think the answer is already clear in your mind. In fact, in the patriarchal civilization of mankind for thousands of years, [men are the representatives of human beings] or [men are enough to interpret human nature] is the default premise, the subtext conveyed, and the metacognition that is constantly consolidated in almost all poetry, novels, dramas, paintings and other literary and artistic creations in all cultures. In this civilization, women cannot represent human beings, and women are Shaped into a human subspecies that requires an extra note of "she is a woman", she is monotonous and boring, easy to predict and classify, a saint mother, a witch mouth, no thoughts, no wisdom, no soul and spirit, and no way to bear the heavy word of human nature. The reason why Danmei has such a profound sense of humiliation in the eyes of feminism is because under the patriarchal world, only women themselves will be the writers who give women personality, and there is no other; only women themselves will be the ones who take the risk to loudly shout "Women are human beings too!" "There is no one else but women; only women themselves can write women from "nothing" to "have", from "black and white" to "color", from "light as a feather" to "heavier than Mount Tai", from "a trickle" to a "vast ocean". The more Danmei created and appreciated by women, the more it grows, the more it means: The only writer, rescuer, and liberator - woman herself, has given more and more power to surrender to the male-centered narrative that has been absolutely oppressive for thousands of years, to enrich, contribute, and serve the [men's discourse of human nature] that has long been disproportionately expanded in human culture. In this process, women have abandoned the human stance of their own gender, and women are intoxicated in self-abandonment. This is worse than depravity, this is more humiliating than being defeated, This was a flight, a surrender, an embarrassing suicide. " ——This paragraph is only a part, it should be taken from WB. People need spiritual nourishment. But for women, the contrast in online articles is very obvious. The family affection, friendship and love between female groups all need to be affiliated with another group to be reflected. Family love, in the DM text, the relationship between mother and daughter only manifests when the mother gives birth, and then these two close relatives immediately become two separate groups. The mother can only be a mother, she has no other side, and she may be incomprehensibly vicious. , And this kind of "viciousness" seems to not be manifested only during childbirth, because she is a womb, not a person, and she has no richness or multi-facetedness. Her so-called viciousness is because she is bad, not her humanity. She exists independently of the laws of the world, and is the first bad person. Then there is her daughter. Her daughter can develop in three directions. One is to be obliterated just like in the real world. She is obliterated before she is born, because this mother gave birth to another group, so this daughter cannot be born, right? Even if you count the characters that have been highlighted, how many female characters are there? It's all DM text, it's set up as a double group, where did the women come from? Second, I have a daughter, but she is very vicious. Her viciousness has no reason. She is a born villain. It seems that every daughter is born to be a criminal reserve, and this viciousness is just a part of the love script of the two protagonists. You don't know why she is so vicious, nor what her character is, but there is only one thing she is born with: "unwilling jealousy and resentful humanity". Oh, and also, compared to the two protagonists, she has a weaker body. Third, this daughter is kind. She is a background that does not need to be lit. She acts as a nympho and a cheerleader. She is always saying "Wow, I'm in love with the protagonist" to support the charm of the protagonist. Therefore, the joy of the two-protagonist novel comes from standing at the height of these people. Because no matter how humble the status of the two protagonists is, they are still higher than the female group created. Oh, by the way, I'm sorry, there is also a type where there is no female group at all, but the situation of the female group is mentioned in the article as if it is more enjoyable. I have read you know who too much in the past ten years. The original intention is to get rid of the shackles, and the way is to abandon the identity of women and become another group that cannot be mentioned. Look at family ties, mother and daughter are smeared, look at friendship, best friends are slandered, look at love, like being used as fuel for you know who to be together. And all the beauty you see is just a new filter added to the you know who group, and even an extra layer of shackles added to the female group. How are women connected to each other? Looking at the love of a group to gain happiness is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It is a paradox in itself to hope to gain courage, obtain beauty and get rid of the shackles through you know who. Therefore, You Know Who gives the viewer an illusion that I can also have such rich humanity, but the subtext is, "In reality, you are not You Know Who," so you are not qualified in the first place. But I'm not convinced. In fact, looking at this chapter, the sights of Chang'an, Wu Hui and Emperor Wu intersect in time and space. These chapters, this sense of spiritual connection, I would like to ask, how many online articles have given women the qualification to directly connect with each other? There are only a handful of them, because including myself, I am a member of the Yanv who grew up in this background of you know who. Just like a fish living in water, it can't even feel the existence of water before it escapes from the water. Even the connection between women in famous novels is only a handful. The so-called culture is vast, but there are very few that actually create direct spiritual connections between women. Except for women, there will be no group that will cry out for women, "Women are human beings. They have a tacit understanding of spiritual connection. They can be confidants, understand each other, and have rich humanity. Regardless of good or evil, they are not judged. Even an evil woman has her right to exist." In literature, even Hannibal is liked by some people, but in fact, in East Asian culture, evil female characters are basically the party being judged. The complete ID cannot be displayed, which is actually a sign of corruption, but the display of jj is limited. You know who is the same as the idea of valuing women over women in reality. The result is that all women are eliminated. For example, if you know who, a certain type of article will be directly related to a certain star's bie. No matter how rich the human nature is created, no matter how much you like and admire it, when you return to reality, reality will tell you that you are not You Know Who, you are excluded from the You Know Who group, and you are not qualified to enjoy the special rights of You Know Who. You are what you read, if the information you receive tells you over and over again, explicitly or implicitly, "Only you know who can cut off the shackles, resist oppression, and have endless courage and high fighting spirit. Only by relying on you know who can you obtain the rights that you should have [including the hope that there is a you know who to help you fight for this right]", then you will fall into the sex trap, and then give up your self-worth to feed you know who, resting part of your integrity on self-achievement that you know who is based on human nature and may not necessarily share with you. And this is something that fish in the water are not aware of. Because the potential self-pursuit that people can enjoy and enrich human nature that must be realized through comparison with you know who is explained by physiological differences by you know who social rules. But do these explanations really stand up to scientific proof? Not necessarily.
Looking forward to seeing the article unlocked one day
