Research on Women’s Love and Women’s Rights under the Background of Strong Males and Weak Females
Abstract
With the powerful communication power of the Internet, people have a better understanding of feminism. Feminism varies from culture to culture, country to country, and situation to situation. There are at least a dozen schools of feminism, each with its own goal, but all of them ultimately aim to achieve equality between men and women. Whether men are strong and women are weak under patriarchy in the past or in today’s film and television works and short videos, many descriptions of the relationship between men and women convey the concept of men being strong and women being weak. Therefore, this paper focuses on how to make women realize the hidden male power in love and how to map and solve the male love power in media. Through the comprehensive induction, this article tries to make deep male power no longer hurt women in love and make feminism more practical in love, filling the gap of feminist research in love and exploring ways to solve this problem. In the end, most of the conclusions reveal certain rules in the description process, like the stereotype, and women should defend their rights to give full play to the maximum advantages of women’s rights. This is the greatest significance and purpose of research.
