Paradise Hill: History of Birth and Deprivation of Power

Content introduction:

The editor recommended: "When an excellent woman comes into the public's view, the first thing to be seen is her gender and face value. Then, the beauty that meets the public's imagination will immediately become a curse: you are incompetent, that is, a vase; you are excellent, that is, a slut." - Her magazine is sad that even today, This gender discrimination deeply embedded in the collective unconscious and the "misogyny" thought rooted in daily life still have a solid foundation, not only in men, but also in women, and internalized in all aspects of our daily life. In addition, worldwide, the division of labor in the social structure is naturally unequal, and has been solidified and hard to shake. Women are demoted and stigmatized; They are also commented and constrained. Due to the unequal power between the sexes, not only the violence against women continues, but also women are often in a dilemma in the balance between family and society. Since the 20th century, with the development of feminist revolution in the world, women have never had so many opportunities and possibilities as they do today; But also because of carrying a heavy past, it is always difficult to move forward. It is time to unveil the veil of history and restore the true face of the past: at the beginning of creation, how was the mother of all life pulled down from the altar, replaced by the omnipotent father god, and formed today's male centered world order? How did women once have power, and now how should they regain their own power? What are the root causes and core mechanisms of stigma and violence against women? In the new era, how should women break through the gender dilemma and achieve greater freedom? We believe that understanding these is essential. Because only by re understanding the past can we build the future on a more objective and equal basis.
