The fight for equality between men and women is more than uneven and frequently doomed to failure. But fatalism He hasn't let anyone win yet.
“You believe in feminism like children in Santa Claus, and you don’t get power and rights as a gift. You gotta take them” – I heard at a organization erstwhile once her least organization part moved to the kitchen to traditional, usually leading to nowhere political disputes over a cigarette.
The conviction was immediately handed down: women make insufficient efforts. They may not even want power at all, so it is so hard for them to break through their agenda in a planet dominated by men. In words – as in the case of others who encounter them, specified as rape – they themselves are guilty.
I stopped at the hunger for power, influence, affluence and visibility due to the fact that I remembered him during the 3rd period screening The Morning Show – a series that late She reviewed in our journals Aleksandra Kumala and who listens to echoes #Metoo on American breakfast television.
The media expression of the American breakfast is somewhat different from Polish programmes viewed from porridge or scrambled eggs. In the U.S., real coverage and news go hand in hand with I don't know. The worst sort, or 1 that asks how to make a perfect selfie on Tinder. Rather, the second is dominated by the Vistula: amusement content not to write: infantile. It's crucial to realize why breakfast is so strong in the States.
Serial The Morning Show shows what it actually looks like to forget about your voice erstwhile you don't wait for a shiny megaphone to appear under the tree. If you are afraid of spoilers, go back to that text erstwhile you watch the show (I sincerely recommend, although Apple producing it did not pay me for it).
Alex Levy demands a seat at the table
One of the main characters, Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston), is simply a writer with many years of experience and success, a breakfast star. Levy demands a seat at the UBA station board table to co-determine the future of the average he creates. Power needs to repair ego, make money, but also, above all, to produce content that does not make water from the brain and focuses on women's rights.
Despite his many flaws, Levy wants to do good journalism and needs to do so, as only a advanced place in the worker hierarchy guarantees. Besides, if she was a dude, no 1 would ask why she's trying to get up.
However, the decision-maker’s chairs cannot take it alone. He must ask the boss (man) – Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup), and this – of course – refuses her due to the fact that she has another thought to save the falling conventional media and as a knight on a white horse casts another man – Paul Marx (Jon Hamm), a billionaire with cosmic ambitions.
The despised journalists at first do not inspire Levy’s sympathy, who, in his planned takeover, sees threats. He's expected to go into space with him, but ultimately, instead, he chooses to carry out material about punishing women for assisting in abortion.
A akin conviction – in terms of taking over television, not what it is expected to show – is simply a associate of the station's board, but Cory Ellison sneaks out of it utilizing anti-discrimination arguments to do so, only related to racism alternatively than sexism. All fears, however, are replaced by the laughter that is characteristic of himself, for he believes so much that the medicine for the station's financial problems is to supply it with money from Marx. However, he does not anticipate a private entrepreneur's name to be treated as a brazen gibberish.
The man who connects Elon Musk to Jeff Bezos has nothing to do with socialism and author Capital, due to the fact that he is not reasoning about with money to breathe in the UBA a life that will let journalists to hold their independence, prosecute the mission of providing reliable information and acting in the name of the public good, and Cory – keep the work to date.
Alex finds the incorrect guy again.
Paul Marks only counts his own profits. So he wants to dispel the UBA and sale it out, creating further intra-businesses chasing not freedom of the press and words, but the marketplace – and hide the ugly fact about the troubles of his own company, designed to conquer extraterrestrial spaces. Independent media would only interfere with it.
Paradoxically, Marx's attention is rapidly acquired by Ellison Levy. A journalist, convincing herself one more time that she means nothing or not adequate to be taken seriously, falls into the arms of a wealthy man, and there she seeks self-esteem, security, and opportunities for career development. He is offered a proposal to establish "something on his own terms" after the UBA, a average with respective decades of history, has been liquidated. Alex doesn't see any ethical conflict or any deception.
She agrees to the terms of her fresh lover, and erstwhile her current boss learns about it, she hears from him that, as usual, she entrusts her destiny to the incorrect man after sleeping with a sex predator. And she wanted to be independent as a decision-maker on the board. Yeah, she did, but Ellison wouldn't let her, and he almost ran himself over it. Almost due to the fact that Levy yet looks at the eyes, gives up the affair and thanks to the unobvious (it just so happens that inter-female) alliances find another solution to the problems in the UBA crisis. This 1 connects to another television, avoiding annihilation.
Women join forces
It makes you want to shout, “media and the planet – saved by women!” But we know that reality is not so simple, but creators The Morning Show They're preparing another season, which suggests there's nothing to number on. What happens after happy endings, no one's always done it before. It won't happen this time either. No drama, no show. Nevertheless, the fact that women join forces, and this brings something good, is beyond overestimate and ignore. possibly even in solidarity defending ideals lies the full secret. I don't know if I'm that naive, but I'd like to believe that.
Looking at Levy's struggles, I couldn't halt reasoning at the same time that the effectiveness of female tenacity is mostly determined by male power. And that taking over it on conditions another than dictated by the patriarchate—that is, non-enemy and impotent—is a large challenge. You can be completely uneasy on them, you can get tired of banging your head on a hard wall. So it is hard to wonder that not so many of us are trying to smash it.
Despite the efforts of evolutionary psychologists, this cannot be explained by biology. Rather, culture and upbringing, if we first look at how girls (or mostly children from unprivileged or dysfunctional families) have been effectively discouraged for years to make desires and aspirations that would affect reaching out for something that does not belong to them in advance, while at the same time being accounted for being the blacksmiths of their fate, or full work for it.
Footnote from Poland
However, the ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’ has late proved that it is rather the opposite. A female and a man may say the same on the same subject, occupy akin functions, but it is highly likely that they will hear completely different opinions about themselves. They found this commenting on the “Election” refusal to sign the coalition agreement by the organization Together Magdalena Biejat and Adrian Zandberg. She – according to the opinion of the online public – does not have a serious policy, she gives a show of childishness and naivety, causing anger and anger in readers. He is right, he is the voice of reason, so he meets with approval and appreciation. But you're inactive going to say that feminists are crazy about sex and that parities are unnecessary, due to the fact that the people have said they don't want women in politics or anywhere else.
When women hear that it would be better for them to know their place, not to thin out, but to stay at home – virtually and symbolically – due to the fact that the public sphere is dangerous and intended for the stronger (default: men without whom they mean nothing), they most likely feel infirm.
However, erstwhile individuals are ready to break these commandments, they must be prepared to be punished in the form of hatred and various tortures of discredit and humiliation, though they will be everywhere close the names they will besides hear the slogan of the story of meritocracy, “though they want to be able to do so”, “as you make your bed, so you sleep” and “sex doesn’t matter, competence matters.”
