Topic > The Lost Woman and the Feminism She Reflects - 913

“When I was young I never needed anyone/And making love was just for fun/Those days are gone/I lived alone/I think of all the friends that I've known/ When I dial the phone/ There's no one home/ All alone/ I don't want to be/ All alone/ Anymore. As Eric Carmen recited Bridget Jones's monologue in the movie Bridget Jones's Dairy, unmarried women of the 1930s, no matter how well they perform at their jobs, how successful they are, how comfortable and pleasant their life is, feel insecure and as dark as they have no male spouses to rely on. Furthermore, the novel The Lost Lady by Japanese writer Sakai Junko, the television series My Queen in Taiwan, and Women Should Get Married on Coming of Age in China all focus on the situation and dilemma of the lives of unmarried women in the 1930s , attracting concerns and attention from companies; Furthermore, the mainstream media overreacts and continues to emphasize the negative consequences of being single. However, I am in favor of America Sexy and City hot television series which motivate women all over the world not to give up and not limit personal choices due to age and surroundings, but to seek true love and independence showing the life adventures of the heroines in their 40s in New York City. Although this series also has a cliché ending that all the characters live a warm family life, neither get married nor maintain a stable relationship, which brings deep thoughts. How could the classic masterpiece of pop culture finally give in to traditional social values? I am arguing that this kind of ideology that uses "the lost lady" or "leftover women" to describe unmarried educated women over the age of 30 who present themselves to the media is narrow and represents male-dominated ideas. More or less, however, this phenomenon ref... middle of paper... bothered them a lot. They used 3S women to describe the first generation of modern women: Single, Seventies (the first group of lost women was born in the 70s), Stuck (to laugh at them who are stuck in a relationship). It is totally unfair and unreasonable to use this label to underestimate the independent feminist just because women threaten a world dominated by masculinity. Being jealous and unequal in evaluating the enormous leap made by women is a reflection of snobbish masculinity and has no positive impact on the development process of human beings. On the other hand, this negative and unfair label can be considered a compliment or reward for the efforts made by women in recent decades in the fight for a better life. But the ridiculous expressions in this book show that the dominant idea is deeply rooted in people's minds and that women still have a long way to go in the future..
