The essence of causing harm to women is that the male in power arbitrarily stretches out the tentacles of power, and arbitrarily plunders the basis for the existence of disadvantaged women. You still defend him.

The cruel thing about this kind of thing is that the behavior of those in power looting the survival basis of disadvantaged women is so casual, but they want to stretch out their desire for power. In the face of the quickness of the strong, the life and death of the weak are worthless. They don't care. They also said, "Look, you got the benefits, I'll give it to you." Liu Qiangdong said to Jingyao, you can become Wendi Deng.

After episode 8 fully showed how the sexual assault occurred, in episode 9 and 10, we continued to hear Mitch’s defense. For the first time he asked Hannah to testify for him.

Hannah said,

"When I walked into the room with you, that picture didn't appear in my mind for a moment. Because you are my respected host, reporter and boss."

Is it normal for a young man to think this way? No. On the contrary, if entering a room with a man means having sex, if a woman in a society enters the room with a man in power, it means that the woman is using sex in exchange for benefits. If all this is the default rule of the society, then it is just To say that this society is terrible (this is the world among the population who sexually assaulted Shiori Ito, this is the world in Liu Qiangdong's mouth), this is not the young man's fault. A man in power uses his reputation, authority, and young people’s idealism, innocence, expectation and yearning for a better society, ambition to build a better society, ambition to become a better self, and even we return The most basic thing is to use the young man's difficult survival plight to induce what happens in the room, then this man sucks. It's not the young man's fault.

See what Mitch said, come on you. I am a host with an annual salary of 20 million US dollars. When you enter the room with me, can't you think of what will happen?

You should dig through these rules, you don't know, you are too naive. Did you see his gesture of saying these things? It's a gesture of humiliating her. When you respect someone, he tells you, come on, don’t be naive and talk about respect. You are a smart person, how can you talk about respect. You are an independent adult woman, how could you not say no. You are an ambitious person, it is your ambition that led to all this, and then I admire you on this point, and I will do the same. Impose you on his dirty world.

No no no no no no. This is not her, her situation is different and different. Episode 10 her self-narration to us. I met him by chance and walked with him on the street for a while. She felt recognized, comforted, and given guidance. She respected him, so she didn't want to sleep with him. He gave her a hug, she was thinking about her dead mother, she thought it was comfort from her elders. Why can't one think so? Why doesn't she have the right to think like this. When you go to Thailand, you can be surprised to see them eating raw beans, and a person is insulted while showing her respect for the elderly. Why can't she freeze? She should say no, she should stop. This is the thinking of those in power. You agree with this set because in a strong society, those in power are respected and you have been brainwashed. You agree with this argument because you have forgotten that you would be surprised when you see Thai people eating green beans. Of course she should give him a slap. Because he sucks. But people are people in society, her growth experience, or her nature, her situation, did not give her the ability to react directly in those few seconds, it is not her fault.

When Hannah hesitated whether to help him testify and knock down Fred, he used idealism again. What do you think of your idealism? Pursuing the truth and caring for employees is also idealism. The fire of aspiring young people's life has suddenly become a beautiful vocabulary used by the incumbent Fred to use public relations at any time. He uses another set to destroy young people, and this set is used to decorate himself. The young people’s living space has been obliterated. Why do you think this is normal? Hannah died at the hands of these people, and you still feel that she did her own death.

If you think this way, you have also given up your own living space; you have given up higher expectations of people, and you also think that Hannah should be the same as you. After thinking is raped by a powerful power, Hannah is not allowed to not understand these rules, which means that you have accepted that the world is so bad.

It's not just that it's an accomplice in killing Hannah. If you think you will avoid this ending if you don't enter the room. Not really. Alex was the surviving woman in their world, and she was also squeezed out of the game. She said, please. People said, no.

What is more terrifying to ordinary people, you are not even Alex. This kind of thing doesn’t just happen to someone who has as much power as Mitchell. You may only be in a small company of six or seven people. The boss is the center of power. If he stretches his power arbitrarily, you have nowhere to go. Run away the victim. Even if your boss is the only one under him, you can also be a victim of power. Because the operating mechanism of power is the same

Now think about standing in Hannah's seat, that is, standing in your own seat. As a young man, your basic survival is difficult, and the spiritual foundation for survival is also plundered, and finally sex. Yi Teng Shizhi said that sex is the basis for living alone. She was also deprived of her survival basis. Finally she died. The ending was shocking, but she had to die again. Because in reality Lin Yihan died, and countless unknown girls died. When they die, I hope that is the plot of the movie. In reality, they can survive and continue to fight. but not. The death of Hannah in the play can remind us of the reality we face. But her death is not far-fetched. She said that she would not give a crying victim's story like another woman. She wants life to go on. Continue strong. However, it cannot. If this matter is not resolved, if you do not protect yourself, it will not get through. So she took a stimulant or something. This is not something that can be passed by being strong. On the contrary, another woman, faced with this pain, was knocked down and couldn't sustain her daily life. So she can survive. Li Huaiyu, who wrote "The Secret Chapter of Life," was unable to work after being raped. It took four years to write about it. In order to continue living.

The cruel thing about this kind of thing is that the behavior of those in power looting the survival basis of disadvantaged women is so casual, but they want to stretch out their desire for power. The life and death of the weak are worthless in the face of the momentary flicker of those in power. They don't care. They also said, "Look, you got the benefits, I'll give it to you." Liu Qiangdong said to Jingyao, you can become Wendi Deng. Still taking a private jet and taking his wife to the royal banquet. Has Lei Chuang surrendered after reading about the girl's struggle in the media?

Alex's anger is due to the situation. The difficulty of this role is not the difficulty of individual shots, but the grasp of the character's overall situation. Imagine her situation, working hard in the workplace to please everyone who obeyed each leader, but was finally dealt with inexplicably. Isn't it like everyone struggling with power in the workplace? Manage your emotions and you can live a worry-free life? It's naive to think this way. The structural injustice, the patriarch's plundering of the living space of disadvantaged women, and the continuous oppression brought about by it, are far from being solved by psychology. In "Jin Zhiying in 82 Years", Jin Zhiying asked, "Is the problem solved when I go to the psychiatric department to cure the disease?"

Is this world saved? some. The power in the hands of the incumbent cannot arbitrarily harm the lives of the disadvantaged. This is basic. It's like Cory is in a high position, knows human nature, but doesn't use it to harm people. If a person experiences the world, while standing on top of the world, he can empathize with the situation of others, and be considerate of others, he will be saved. If everyone defends the existing rules and tries to become the part that holds the power, and then uses the same method to oppress the next group of people, then the world will get worse and worse.

But it is clear that there is no better world in the whole world. These American TV dramas are based on inspections from more developed countries. We are still defending the strong, pretending that everything is fine. See how many people stand in Zhujun and Liu Qiangdong, but yell at Xianzi and jingrao? The power is crushed on you, even without the bones. It is not necessarily a sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is just a form of free extension of power to violate people.

Of course we have a responsibility to make this world a little better, because this is the world in which everyone lives. From not defending the strong, from not disgusting idealists like Bradley. Start with empathy and caring for everyone around you.

"Morning News" is far from being a professional drama or an industry drama. This is an iconic female drama. Its goodness lies not in the good language of the lens, not in the good performance, not in these subtleties. Of course these are good. The weak have no right to speak up. This seems to be what Camus said. This TV series speaks for the weak. This is very difficult. Let the role of Alex go from exchanging benefits for himself, defending himself to self-reflection, so sincere and sincere.
