Recently, a video of Wu Jing on a variety show sparked heated discussions among netizens. In **, Wu Jing expressed his opinion on a male guest in a skirt, calling him a "pseudo-mother", and said that "this is a kind of atmosphere, an abnormal atmosphere, an unhealthy atmosphere, and an atmosphere that does not conform to traditional Chinese culture."
Wu Jing's remarks attracted the attention of the central media, and many ** such as CCTV News, People's **, and Global Times spoke out one after another, agreeing with Wu Jing's views, and severely criticizing and warning the current "pseudo-mother atmosphere". So, what is the "pseudo-lady ethos"?Why is it rejected by the central media?
The so-called "pseudo-motherhood" refers to the fact that some men deliberately imitate women's appearance, clothing, words and deeds in order to attract attention or meet their own psychological needs, so as to achieve the effect of gender blurring or gender transition.
This kind of atmosphere is very popular in some online platforms, variety shows, showbiz and other fields, and some of the so-called "little fresh meat", "beautiful men", "cream little life", etc., are representatives of this atmosphere. They play with the boundaries of gender, like to pretend to be tender and cute, and even do not hesitate to have plastic surgery, wear **, makeup, etc., to cater to the tastes of some fans, or in order to get more attention and benefits.
This ethos manifests itself not only in men, but also in women. In order to pursue the so-called "neutral beauty", "tomboy", "female man" and other images, some women will also deliberately imitate men's appearance, clothing, words and deeds, etc., in order to achieve the effect of gender blurring or gender transition.
This kind of atmosphere is also very popular in some online platforms, variety shows, showbiz and other fields, and some so-called "goddesses", "queens", "strong women", etc., are representatives of this atmosphere. They challenge other norms, like to be domineering, and even do not hesitate to cut their hair short, wear **, fitness, etc., in order to show their personality and charm.
With the development and progress of society, people's lifestyles and ideas have also undergone great changes. Some traditional gender roles and gender stereotypes are no longer suitable for the needs of modern society, and people have begun to pursue self-realization and self-expression, no longer limited by the constraints of gender, but choose their own lifestyle and image according to their own preferences and personality.
At the same time, with the acceleration of globalization and cultural exchanges, people's values have become more pluralistic and open, and some Western gender theories and gender movements have also influenced China's society and culture, making some people's cognition and attitude towards gender change, believing that gender is a social construct, not a natural attribute, so it can be changed and chosen at will.
* As a powerful social tool, it has an important impact on people's values and aesthetics. In the current environment, some online platforms, variety shows, showbiz, etc., in order to attract attention and increase ratings, often deliberately create some topics and events such as "pseudo-mothers" or "masculinized women" to satisfy the curiosity and excitement of some audiences, thus creating a social atmosphere and aesthetic trend.
At the same time, the market is also an important factor, some "pseudo-mother" or "masculine woman" and other images, often able to get more attention and benefits, such as advertising endorsements, business cooperation, fan consumption, etc., which also prompts some people to deliberately imitate or change their gender image in order to meet the needs of the market.
Although the "pseudo-motherhood" seems to be a personal choice and expression, it actually has a great harm and impact on our society and culture. Gender is a basic social attribute, which not only determines people's physical characteristics, but also determines people's social roles and social relationships.
Gender is an orderly, standardized, stable and harmonious system, which provides people with a kind of identity and belonging, as well as a basis for mutual respect and cooperation. However, the "pseudo-motherhood" has broken this order and norms, making gender confused, blurred, unstable, and disharmonious, leading to disorder and imbalance in people's gender identity and gender relations.
China is a country with a long history and splendid culture, and China's traditional culture and national spirit are our precious wealth and spiritual pillar. China's traditional culture and national spirit emphasize the principles of difference between men and women, yin and yang matching, harmony and difference, and the golden mean, and believe that men and women have their own characteristics and advantages, and should respect and complement each other to form a harmonious, balanced, and beautiful relationship.
However, the "pseudo-motherhood" violates these principles, denies the differences and advantages of men and women, blurs the boundaries and cooperation of yin and yang, destroys the diversity of harmony and diversity and the balance of the golden mean, and damages our cultural self-confidence and national self-esteem.
We should resolutely resist and oppose it, take effective countermeasures and measures to maintain and protect our gender order and norms, carry forward and inherit our traditional culture and national spirit, establish and develop harmonious, balanced and beautiful gender relations, and contribute to the progress and development of our society and culture.
