A few days ago, singer Gloria, who no longer uses the stage name " Deng Ziqi ", released a new album "Revelation", and the song "Youth and the Sea" was also well received. But surprisingly, the song's title has sparked some additional controversy.
The reason is that some feminist netizens questioned why the song is called "Youth and the Sea" instead of "Girls and the Sea", why a female singer wants to write about men, can only men represent adolescents?
Obviously, Deng Ziqi I was also speechless by this kind of questioning. I didn't care about the burden of idols, and responded directly in the comment area, saying that "because teenagers include all girls, but girls do not include all teenagers." Because according to the literal definition, juveniles used to refer to children between the ages of ten and fifteen or sixteen, regardless of gender. I don’t know why they have been misunderstood as only representing men in recent years. Obviously, in the eyes of some people, the concept that "juvenile" is used to refer to men alone has always been extreme and wrong.
In the past two years, as talk show artists such as Yang Li and began to promote feminism and intensified gender issues through their shows, some titles and concepts that were not originally used as gender issues have suddenly aroused many concerns. unnecessary controversy.
In addition to "juvenile", words like "sir" and "women" have also begun to be questioned by some feminist netizens.
Not long ago, when the movie "Anita Mui" was released, actor Yin Zheng called him "Mr." in order to express his respect for Anita Mui, a virtuous and artistic senior in the entertainment industry. Call this a "daddy speech".
From the perspective of feminism, can women only enjoy the same title as ordinary men if they are good enough?
But this kind of argument seems to some other netizens to be too high-level. After all, in the old society, the word "sir" was used to describe those teachers and scholars with knowledge, but when education was not popular, the threshold was still very high, and there were not many men who could be honored as "sir" , and women are even rarer. It's just that in modern society, the word "Mr." has been generalized as the honorific title for ordinary men
, but after thinking a little rationally, you can judge it without taking a stand first. The honorific "Mr." for women is obviously the same as "Mr." for ordinary men. Not a meaning. Even with the development of the times, it may be inappropriate to continue to call outstanding women "sir", but in essence calling women "sir" is only respectful and not malicious, and there is no need for women's rights to be overly sensitive to this.
Of course, the word "sir" is just as controversial today as "women". Now, in the opinion of some overly sensitive feminists, it is out of date to use "women" to refer to young people, especially unmarried women. Many businesses have also changed their names to "Queen's Day" and "Goddess' Day" for publicity. For many men, the phrase "Happy Women's Day" used to wish the women around them in the past, but now they have to worry about whether they will make the women around them sensitive.
But there are also some netizens who believe that Women's Day was born a hundred years ago when women fought for equal rights, and the Queen's Day and Women's Day created by capital are completely incomparable.
And women originally refers to women over 14 years old, which is a neutral word. For some reason, it suddenly becomes a derogatory term in the eyes of some feminists, and they only emphasize that they are girls, fairies, goddesses, and those married women, upper class. Differentiate between older women, isn't it in turn engaging in age anxiety and disrespecting older women?
Of course, from "sir" to "women" to "juvenile", these titles have suddenly become the focus of gender issues, and they are inseparable from many public figures and big V, deliberately creating popularity for traffic.
Yang Li, a talk show artist who became famous for complaining about the male "Pu Que Xin", has already regarded this controversial gender topic as a wealth code, and once said on the show "How much effort a man needs to struggle".
But in the entertainment industry, there are still women like Deng Ziqi who can empathize and speak from a male perspective. In Deng Ziqi's view, after all, the mainstream status of today's society still relies on men to work hard, but men are tired enough from their daily struggles. Many women still don't know how to understand men. They don't say what they really think, but they only complain that men don't understand them. , men and women should still understand each other.
So judging from Deng Ziqi's past performance, it is reasonable to publicly fight back against women's rights because of the word "juvenile".
And many netizens who support Deng Ziqi also believe that the real feminist should be like Deng Ziqi, able to think in a different position and help the two sexes understand and respect each other, instead of being as sensitive as some feminists, for some metaphysical issues such as names The outline is on the line, causing gender confrontation.
