Hello everyone, I am Xiaoying, and I am dizzy now.

It's not because of watching this compass.

It was recently fainted by the news of the World Cup.

After watching a few group matches with my friends seriously, I couldn't help but sigh-the movie is still good .

Don't talk about me, I believe that many hardcore fans can't do "not listening to things outside the window, and just watching football" .

Friends who memorized the advertisement, are you okay? Do you know who to ask before traveling?

Friends of the anti-buying competition, are the villas by the sea now, or are they squatting on the roof?

Of course, I know that what you see the most is the "beautiful scenery" on the court .

Yes, Xiaoying is talking about those plump and sexy female fans, hot and beautiful wives, gossip girlfriends with their own merits, and dignified and intellectual female anchors.

Maybe compared with football, the girls' balls look better.

Larissa Riquelme, the goddess of Paraguay at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

It seems that for a long time, women have only been "seen" and "eye-catching" on the sports field .

In addition, it is still the world of men.

What if the women's football team enters the 2019 World Cup ?

The news was still silent for two months before the enthusiasm for the Men's Football World Cup started.

The hot search for women's football is no better than football baby.

Not only football, even national table tennis , the attention of the men's team is much higher than that of the women's team.

Perhaps when it comes to this, some male compatriots will say:

Men and women have different physiological structures and different physical fitness. In sports competitions, especially football, the intensity of confrontation and the degree of game viewing are far lower than men, so they are not comparable at all.

So basically, women are suitable for being a vase obediently, not suitable for playing games?

What do those girls who sweat profusely in the arena picture?

A movie tells you.

War of the sexes

Battle of the Sexes

The story it tells is a real big event in the history of tennis- the story of a female boss defeating a male boss.

Big lady, Billy Jane King .

In her career, she has won 12 Grand Slam singles titles, 16 Grand Slam women's doubles titles, 11 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles, and the record of 10 Wimbledon women's doubles titles has not been broken so far. .

The big man, Bobby Riggs .

The top-ranked professional players in the 1930s and 1940s became the best men's players in the world in the mid-1940s .

Male and female sparring is enough in itself.

What's even more exciting is that Billy Jane King is the world's first female athlete to recognize homosexuality , and Bobby Riggs is an unavoidable macho .

From the standpoint of identity, sparks are also splashing.

This planetarium Stadium in Houston's "gender war", attracted some global 37 countries, 50 million viewers, Houston poured into the court record 3 Wan Multifieldbus audience.

Why are they fighting? How did you fight? This is what this movie will tell.

In 1972, the 29-year-old Billy King (played by Sister Stone) had just won the national championship, and the limelight was no different.

President Nixon is her fan, and the $100,000 that high-level tour groups can't earn is her bonus.

Originally dancing with her husband happily, she was suddenly blown up by a piece of paper.

Because it says that women's tennis players have a prize of 1,500 , while men's prizes are 12,000 .

It's 8 times worse! Is the women's game unpopular?

In fact, the women's finals sold as many tickets as the men.

In the face of doubts, the president of the US Tennis Association responded in a variety of ways.

The man needs to support his family.

Female athletes have to support their families too!

Men exercise more exciting, taller, faster and stronger = men.

Maybe some people still agree with this view, but they definitely don't dare to say it openly like they did at the time.

The vigorous Billy King immediately refused to participate in the tournament and decided to host his own tournament.

Although the United States Lawn Tennis Association threatened to remove her from her name, she could no longer participate in any leagues.

She still wooed a group of like-minded female players, broke away from the original association, signed a long-term contract for a nominal one dollar , and organized the Virginia Tour on her own.

At this time, 55-year-old Bobby Riggs was kicked out of the house by his wife because he could not quit gambling.

Watching Billy King show off on the radio and radio, the retired male tennis player feels very unbalanced.

In order to make money, he proposed to fight a gender war.

It is said that there is a big gap between the women's game and the men's game, and a 55-year-old male player like himself can also beat the current top female player.

He kindly invited Billy King to the game, but the hostess felt that this was just a show and refused to cooperate.

But soon, another top female player challenged and lost the game.

"Women should only stay in the kitchen and the bedroom, and shouldn't come out to do anything." The straight men's cancer remarks raged for a while.

Such obvious and explicit discrimination now seems incredible, but it really existed at the time.

In order to regain the dignity of women, Billy King had to join this absurd game.

Moreover, she also has to win, otherwise equal pay for men and women will be indefinitely far away-if they can't win, they will fall back 50 years. This will damage the progress of women and affect the self-esteem of all women.

Compared with the nervous and anxious training preparation of the heroine, the life of the hero Bobby is obviously much easier before the game.

Because he was not prepared at all! I was busy drinking, drinking, and taking drugs.

During this period, he was like a beam jumping clown, playing various cosplays, taking pictures and gambling, and made a lot of money from it, but he never played a good game.

The final result, as you all know, she won the "gender war" and changed the world's perception.

Sister Shishi's eyes are like crystals.

After the game, Sister Stone's crying scene is totally worth having another Oscar statuette.

First, release the pressure on the verge of collapse.

Then it was incredibly ecstatic.

Then came the relief after the emotions receded.

Finally, I gradually calmly affirmed myself.

In reality, some sports commentators believe that Billy Jane King and Bobby Riggs are more than 20 years old, and that it is not so much a "gender war" but an "age war" .

Indeed, from the perspective of the movie, this "war of the sexes" is also a show-making element that is greater than the competition itself.

The two players were not perfect in the game, but the heroine was smart enough and well prepared to win, and the hero lost to his arrogance and underestimation.

In fact, there is another line in the movie, which is about the relationship line between the heroine and the same sex.

Compared with the battle of genders, single pull-out is relatively plain.

But what is not plain is the author's ambition- equal rights .

Attention, it is equal rights!

The action of the heroine in the film is never to defeat men, nor to prove that women are stronger.

What she wanted to do at the beginning was just to change the status quo that women's game pay was less than one-eighth of men's pay.

All they want is respect, the same respect as men.

After all, there are too many labels on the girls, and they are almost overwhelming the ordinaryness of their lives.

Are you a girl still watching football? Do you understand?

Why should the little girl like sports?

Girls still watch superheroes? What do you know?

We don't want much, but we don't want to be the highlight in front of the vase.

Xiaoying admits that there are differences in the objective physical conditions of men and women, and women are inferior to men in many aspects such as physical strength, flexibility, speed, endurance, and so on.

In sports such as football, there is no coquettish running position, no magical footwork, and it is not as good-looking as men's football.

Innate objective factors are not a reason to ignore the results of hard work.

Sports are not Vanity Fair .

This is supposed to be a place where talent and hard work can compete fairly and pursue happiness.

Like many other social activities, there is nothing suitable or unsuitable, only wanting to do or not wanting to do.

The war-torn Iraq , the Chinese women's football team that has never been taken seriously , and the 330,000 people now Iceland can all score in the World Cup.

Even China's blind feet won the World Cup third place.

Dribbling and shooting are so smooth and flowing. If you don't say that this is a blind foot, in the eyes of the average person, it is a men's football that is slowed down and the field is reduced.

The only difference is probably that they have no funds, no resources, and no attention.

Many times, what is our media paying attention to?

Athlete's appearance, leg length, value and gossip .

Fu Yuanhui, a swimmer who has received much attention before, besides the emoji, the remaining topic around her is whether she likes Sun Yang or Ning Zetao.

As for the significance of the medal she won? What efforts have been made behind the scenes?

Rarely mentioned, after all, it can't attract attention.

Although we ordinary people cannot change the rules and systems, we can give more attention and encouragement to female athletes and even unpopular sports.

Don't wait until the male athletes in important events fail to think of them.

As for men's football?

I hope they are a real effort to make better progress, at least let people stop complaining about their strength and salary ratio.

Be worthy of every reward you get, don't be busy making excuses.

    Sister Stone is ugly, the plot is super boring. What's interesting is that when I saw this advertisement everywhere in the subway, I thought it was acting something that can't be said... I didn't expect it to be an equal rights movie, falling!

    Over the years I have been trying to wash away some of the gender ideology that I have taught in the future, and I have started to "learn" and think about myself; I do not believe that there is any essential difference between men and women, and biological differences should never be measured. Standard, because we are not animals, only animals and idiots are rated by physical strength; men like Bobby's bluffing, demeaning women, and making a game that bjk has to win.
