The Dissimilation And Construction Of Chinese Indigenous Feminism

As a hot word on the Internet,“Chinese pastoral feminism” has spread rapidly on the Internet in the process of the explosive development of new media and "we media",and caused a lot of controversy by the shell of feminism.There are three main characteristics of the idyllic feminist view: first is to advocate the opposition between men and women,to advocate the persecution of women by men,extreme hatred of men,to the extreme of identity politics;Second,they emphasizes that women unilaterally enjoy rights,especially material interests,and refuses to perform corresponding obligations,misunderstands the relationship between rights and obligations,and essentially promotes women's interests.The third is to advocate non-marriage infertility,marriage and fertility as women gain benefits chip.Chinese Pastoral Feminism saw the anti-male view as radical feminism,but at the heart of the latter was the struggle for women's independence rather than material gain;Chinese pastoral feminism saw their anti-marriage views as Marxist and socialist feminism,but Marxism criticized the capitalist marriage system.The essential difference between radical and Marxist feminism and Pastoral Feminism is that the former two seek equality between men and women,while idyllic feminism seeks women's rights over men's rights.Pastoral Feminism has a huge influence and occupies the discourse space of true feminism.Anti-feminist activists deliberately blur the boundary between Pastoral Feminism and true feminism to criticize and suppress true feminism.There are historical and realistic reasons for the emergence of Pastoral Feminism in China.The first is the influence of the political environment.When western feminist thoughts were introduced into China in the late Qing dynasty,the Chinese nation was suffering from internal troubles and foreign aggression.Women had to form an alliance with men to resist foreign enemies,and women's liberation gave way to national liberation to some extent.After the success of the revolution,the equality between men and women was fixed in legal form,and women were endowed with rights by the state.However,the current tide of social thought in China and the rise of populism have affected the value judgment of some people.Meanwhile,the media and consumerism have played a role in the promotion of some extreme ideas and the packaging of consumerism.The Pastoral Feminism ideas spread rapidly under the promotion of capital.In reality,women do not get factual equality due to the equality between men and women stipulated by the state.Women's right of speech,right to education and right to economy are not guaranteed.In the process of Chinese women's awakening,they began to demand equal rights and gave birth to the simple and extreme Pastoral Feminist views.Pastoral Feminist view is the alienation of Chinese feminism.In order to prevent it from damaging the equality between men and women in China,it is necessary to rethink the development of Chinese feminism.First,western feminism,which also faces many challenges under the influence of neoliberalism,should be viewed correctly.We need to introduce the concept of gender and recognize the limitations of the binary concept of male and female opposition in the west.The second is to criticize the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture,abandon the misogyny thought,and replace the traditional western feminist idea of male and female antagonism with the concept of male and female harmony advocated in the classics such as <Yi>.The core of Chinese feminism should be the pursuit of equality between men and women.The premise of realizing gender equality is to first protect women's rights,support vulnerable women groups,conduct gender awareness education for citizens,and fight public opinion wars with Pastoral Feminism and anti-women's rights.Finally,the theoretical achievements and practical experience of China are introduced to the world,so that Chinese feminist theory is no longer just a supplement to western feminism,but an important part of world feminism.
