I think this society still treats women and is unfair, and there are still many families where women do more things, while men do nothing. Women have to do housework at home, look after children, cook, and even have very few opportunities to go out. This kind of life can also be said to be “you are tired of doing nothing at home all the time, and I have to go to work to make money to support my family, and I have to listen to you when I come back.” This makes it seem that women do nothing at home all day long, but they are not. Just like the snapshot I published, a woman is like a person with a thousand hands and can do everything at the same time.

In the video of The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, it is clear that the cause of so many deaths is environmental factors because a box of cotton wool caught fire but the hose of the fire bucket was rotten, which made it impossible to extinguish the fire in time, and because there were only one of the four elevators in the building. It can be used, and only 12 people can sit at a time, and because the escape stairs are too narrow to go down, the most annoying thing is that the door of the stairs is locked by the manager. These circumstances resulted in 146 people being crushed to death because they were burned, fell from a building, inhaled heavy smoke, and two holders of this garment factory were charged with manslaughter but were acquitted later in the same year. freed. I think this is very unfair to the family of those 146 people because their negligence might even save money.

Hillary’s snapshot is of a boy with a sentence on it that says Boys Don’t CRY! But this Don’t is crossed out, which means the boy should cry. In a patriarchal society, a man is the head of the family. There is a Chinese saying that “a man has tears but he does not flick it lightly”, which means that a man cannot shed tears easily even in important matters. This will be a joke. However, now that men and women are equal, men don’t need to care about their faces. Even if they cry, no one will laugh at them.

White Privilege & Oppression

Looking at the titles of these two articles will make people mistakenly think they are talking about skin discrimination. Whites are supreme, and then blacks are inferior to whites. But if you read it carefully, you will find that they are actually talking about the privileges between men and women. Some men are not as schismatic as we think, and they have the right to speak in everything. The authors of these two articles are feminists, and one of them is a lesbian writer. In the current patriarchal society, women can still call the shots and the fact that men and women are more or less equal.
