Since the birth of human civilization,there have been two genders,male and female.No matter in ancient times or modern society,it is always the common relationship between male and female that constitutes humanity and runs through the entire history of human civilization..Human society is constantly advancing and developing,but this forward development has also brought about small social problems,such as the existence of inequality between men and women,the gender manifestations of men and women are different,and the problem of women It also surfaced with the development of human society.With the progress of society,people's understanding has reached a certain level,and the problem of women's oppression and exploitation is not only a problem of the female part of the population.The issue of women is also related to whether the entire human race can develop freely and comprehensively.Some women began to realize the need to resist this kind of gender discrimination and oppression.Pioneers of women's issues began to study women's issues in the hope that women would be liberated from the oppression and the feminist movement was born.The feminist Marxism faction pays more attention to theoretical research,and it is also the most dynamic period of the development of western feminism.This school is also a more important school in the development of western feminism.The credo of feminist Marxism is to rely on Marx Doctrine of the study of women's issues,theoretical research also tends to some views of Marxism,and then add their own understanding,put forward a series of unique ideas on women's oppression,put forward the issue of women's liberation Some of my own theoretical views.And it has had a certain impact on the Western New Feminist Movement and even Western social development,and it has also proposed more thought-provoking topics for contemporary women's liberation theory.Just as the famous feminist thinker Ms.Juliet Mitchell has emphasized the question of women,Marxist answers must be given.This article analyzes and explores the thoughts of Juliet Mitchell,a representative of feminist Marxism.In the first chapter of this article,the introduction part mainly discusses the significance of putting forward Juliet Mitchell's feminist Marxist ideas,to clarify the meaning and background of the topic,and to explain the reason for this topic.A review and analysis of the current state of research to explain the current research results of feminism,then introduce the research ideas and research methods of this article,clarify the creative ideas of this study,and clarify the theoretical basis of this article's creation.Then summarize the innovations and deficiencies of this article,which can also benefit my future study and research.The innovation of this article lies in not only introducing Juliet Mitchell's feminist Marxist ideas,but also carrying out an in-depth analysis and drawing some enlightenment and research significance.The practical significance of Mitchell's feminist Marxist ideas is very clear.Studying women's issues can not only liberate female groups,but also promote the liberation of all human beings on a certain basis.Women's issues are also related to the development of all human beings.It is also a good reflection of the development of a region or society.The emancipation of women can promote the process of human liberation.At the same time,the degree of women's liberation,the status and importance of women also reflect the degree of openness and social development of a country or region.Therefore,the study of women's issues is of great practical significance to Mitchell's feminism.It is also of far-reaching practical significance to carry out in-depth research on the viewpoints of doctrine of ideology.By analyzing and discussing the content of Mitchell's feminist thoughts,while clarifying the content and main points of Mitchell's theory,the study of western feminism can also bring far-reaching significance to the development of women in the future,and can be of great significance to Marxist The content of this part of women's theory research is also a theoretical refinement and sublimation.Then,by studying the domestic and foreign research review to understand the development of feminism at home and abroad,to further pave the way for the next research in this article.Throughout the study of women's issues at home and abroad,looking at the perspective,we can better understand the profound significance of Mitchell's feminist thought.Finally,through systematic research and analysis of the research ideas and methods of this article,as well as its innovations and deficiencies,it is possible to take a deeper look at Juliet Mitchell's feminist ideas with questions.The second chapter analyzes and thinks about the origin of Juliet Mitchell's feminist Marxist ideas,so as to understand the background of the feminist movement and the development stages and social driving factors of feminism.Women's thinking.Women have been subjected to various kinds of oppression for a long time.As a result,some women have begun to consciously research themselves and resist women's oppression.It also analyzes the birth of feminism from the women's liberation movement,and draws out the main source of Juliet Mitchell's feminist Marxist thought and where the inspiration of Mitchell's feminist thought comes from.Marx's women The emancipation theory gave Mitchell enlightenment on the study of women's issues,and from Freud's psychoanalysis,he obtained the essence that can be used in feminist research.From Freud's thought,he made a deep analysis of the unconscious sexual drive.From the essence of Althusser's ideological thought,he also used Marcuse's theory of "love and sexual emancipation" as inspiration.Mitchell's theory of thought originated from multiple angles and aspects.This makes the research and analysis of women's issues more comprehensive and in-depth.The third chapter mainly discusses the main content of Juliet Mitchell's feminist thought,which is the content of "Four Structures" proposed by Mitchell.This chapter mainly explains the frame analysis of "Four Structures".It is the core content of Mitchell's thought,revealing that the analysis of the "four major structures" framework is the source of oppression of women.And by analyzing the situation of women's oppression,it is concluded that the four major structures are interconnected and interacting.Therefore,to eliminate the oppression brought by the four major structures,we must not start from only one side.Only the content of the structure can be changed;Mitchell pointed out that when discussing the content of the production structure,the weak physical condition of women is not the root cause of discrimination and oppression of women in production.Therefore,simply speaking,women are excluded from It is too simplistic and far-fetched to say that social production is due to their physical problems.The birth structure is also part of the reason Mitchell believes that the oppression of women is greater.Because of the natural physiological structure of women,fertility is a woman-specific function,but it has become an oppression of women.Under patriarchal thinking,it is considered natural for women to be fertile.It is believed that women should bear the responsibility of succession,but women's fertility has not given the value of reproduction and is not regarded as a valuable labor for women.The structure of sexual relations is also one of the main culprits of women being oppressed.The emergence of the wave of sexual liberation has liberated men to a certain extent,and women are still in the "second sex" disadvantaged position,and some are still in the wild and feudal regions.Treat women as privately owned items,and create some discipline for women to restrain and oppress them.In the end,Mitchell emphasized the pressure of raising children on women.From the birth of a child to growing up,it takes more than half of the time for women,so that women do not have time to enrich and self-improve,and focus on raising children.Moreover,the upbringing of children is taken for granted by the husband,and the social functions of children are mainly performed by mothers,which has caused another constraint on women.From the perspective of women,Mitchell deeply analyzed the four structures of women's oppression and proposed that eliminating these four structures can weaken the oppression of women.This is enough to reflect the research value of Mitchell's thought.The fourth chapter mainly analyzes the causes of women's oppression,revealing that capitalism and patriarchy are the root causes of all oppression.This part is also the key content of Mitchell's feminist thought.Mitchell stands for capitalism and patriarchy for women.From the perspective of oppression,he put forward the "dual system theory",revealing that the oppression of women comes from the two-pronged approach of capitalist system and patriarchal thought,which has caused fierce oppression and exploitation of women.First,it analyzes the oppression of women in the capitalist system,reveals the class essence of women's oppression,and then reveals the phenomenon of women being alienated in the capitalist context.Then analyze from the perspective of patriarchy,revealing that the clan group is gradually being replaced by a single patriarchal family,causing the patriarchal thought to take the lead in the entire family,thus oppressing women,and the oppression of women by unpaid housework.It is necessary to handle housework within the family and not to participate in social production.Such unpaid housework has become the root cause for women to rely on men for a long time,which has caused deep oppression to women.Mitchell has always believed that the capitalist system and patriarchal thought are a relationship of mutual interest.The two are deeply oppressive to women under the mutual promotion.Finally,the author discusses the "dual system theory" that capitalism and patriarchy have a dual effect on women.oppression.Therefore,women's liberation must jointly get rid of the interaction between the two,and eliminating one of them will have no obvious effect.Because there is a mutually supportive relationship between capitalism and patriarchy,eliminating capitalist systems and patriarchy ideology will make women An effective way to liberate.And this assertion is also in line with Marx's basic viewpoint,which is to inherit and enrich classic Marxism.The fifth chapter discusses the comparison between Juliet Mitchell's feminist thought and Marx's women's theory,and the comparison with the thoughts of other feminists.First,compare the differences and connections between Mitchell's feminist ideas and Marxist women's theory.Marx's women's theory mainly reveals that private ownership is the root cause of women's oppression.Then,we will conduct in-depth research through analysis.Another example is the thought of other feminists,to compare with Mitchell's feminist thought,such as the comparison with Mitchell Barrett's ideological theory,and the comparison with Kate Millett's patriarchal theory,and The comparison between Heidi Hartman's "dual system theory",through the theoretical comparison between different feminist thinkers,analyzes the causes of women's oppression,and analyzes from the research and analysis of capitalist and patriarchal ideas The reason why women are exploited is inseparable from capitalism and patriarchy.The sixth chapter is about the evaluation of Juliet Mitchell's feminist thoughts.First,I will discuss the affirmation of Juliet Mitchell's thoughts in terms of the theoretical contribution of Mitchell's feminist thoughts,and from the positive theory,Juliet Mitchell What feminist ideas are helpful,such as the refinement and sublimation of women's issues in classic Marxism,exploring the causes of women's oppression from multiple perspectives to analyze how to solve them,and deepening contemporary capitalism Criticism of institutions and patriarchy,and Mitchell's research also shows the effective impact of feminist development on social progress,and the study of Mitchell's feminist thought is innovative and developed Marxism.From the perspective of the real impact of Mitchell's feminist thought,it also explores the role of promoting the development of western democratic politics.The political change with women's participation has a positive significance for the development of western democratic politics.Although Mitchell's research has been very in-depth,there are still some limitations that cannot be taken care of.For example,although Marxism was used in the research process,the materialist historical view of Marxism still deviated to some extent.The second point is the overly artificial division.After the contents of the four major structures,the final analysis of the situation of women's oppression and the methods of solving women's oppression is too arbitrary.The seventh chapter studies the significance of Juliet Mitchell 's feminist Marxist thought.Mitchell 's research is a continuation process from theory to practice,and it can bring a lot of reference to other feminists.Theory of thought.Finally,the article explores what practical significance it has for contemporary Chinese women.For example,it provides theoretical resources for the comprehensive development of women after China's reform and opening up,and has an impact on women's participation in social and political life,such as the right to education,the right to vote,and the right to obtain various opportunities.,The transformation of gender roles,the traditional view of marriage,and women's awareness of self-worth are also conducive to social development.Women are willing to enrich themselves and improve themselves,and can also play a driving role in social development.By expatiating the research of Juliet Mitchell's feminist Marxist thought,this paper further proves the significance of theoretical research of Mitchell's feminist Marxist thought.For example,the birth of 3.8 International Women's Day was due to the joint promotion of a series of feminist movements in Europe and America in the twentieth century,so the birth of feminism is of great significance to the development and liberation of women in the world.This article,through a study of Mitchell's feminist Marxist ideas,systematically analyzes the exploitation and oppression of women,and analyzes their position and oppression in the political,economic,social,and cultural fields.It is hoped that through the study,we can have a new understanding of women's self-empowerment,gain a deeper understanding of women's power status,and try to find a proper way for women's liberation.And through the practical significance of feminist thought,it can be used as a reference for the development of women in the world in the future.The emancipation of women is also conducive to the emancipation of mankind as a whole,and has certain significance for the development of freedom and equality and democratic politics in Western countries.At the same time,it can also make some effective references for Chinese women to defend their rights.More importantly,the degree of female liberation can solve the existence of some social problems to a large extent.Women are part of all humankind.The highest value of female liberation is that it can bring meaningful and valuable promotion to the comprehensive and free development of all human beings.effect.
