Since the new government came to power, although China has advocated equality between men and women, the heavy shackles on women's shoulders have not been completely removed. Over the years, women began to move out of the home, working in factories, and moving towards different jobs. But some radical, old-fashioned men abhor this phenomenon, claiming that women are robbing men of their resources by coming out to work and getting educated.

In the past few years, the new government has enacted a series of laws in favor of women in order to gain the support of women, but it is difficult to implement these laws. Women are still not allowed to participate in politics openly, women do not have the right to vote, and women do not have the same qualifications for education as men. Even these feudals criticized women's clothing, calling them immoral.

Haicheng is a modern metropolis, but this kind of discrimination against women is not uncommon. Especially under the operation of some well-intentioned people, the outbreak of contradictions is incomparably more violent.

This "Independent" seems to want to go against Shen Fu, since the first revelation of Shen Fu's plagiarism and expulsion scandal, the newspaper's sales have been rising, perhaps because it has tasted the sweetness, "The Independent" is gone on the road of black Shen Fu. Today, Hei Shen Fu relied on a man to take the position, revealing that she was the lover of a certain tycoon in Haicheng, and tomorrow it will be revealed that Shen Fu forced the model to show his flesh in public at his personal fashion salon to attract people's attention.

Every story in The Independent is well-founded, and the story is written in a way that is as if you had seen it with your own eyes. Such a brainless black article will not be lightly believed by a slightly sensible person as long as he glances at it, but the rapid rise of Shen Fu during this period of time has hindered the interests of many people, and there are many forces in it, and all kinds of rumors about Shen Fu have not only not dissipated, but have become even more noisy.

Because of the need for fabric supply, Shen Fu also cooperated with Peng Wenxuan to set up a factory, and Shen Fu recruited a large number of female workers. Shen Fu often publishes advertisements about SF, which is also about the emancipation of women and the bold display of his beauty, which has aroused the disgust of many people who adhere to the old school.

As soon as the relevant remarks of the Independent came out, these old-fashioned people found more evidence to attack Shen Fu.

Zhu Chenghe, a well-known scholar in Haicheng, publicly made a statement in Haicheng Daily, pointing out, "Recently, the ladies and wives on the streets of Haicheng are wearing clothes that expose their arms and thighs, which really opens my eyes. Huaxia has always been a tradition of observance, this kind of behavior is really insulting! I heard that this is SF's new print series, please forgive me for not understanding this aesthetic. Miss Shen, the founder of SF, is not a well-behaved woman herself, she is a poisonous woman who engages in foreigners such as 'model' and 'salon' at a young age, damaging the reputation of a white girl!"

An office director of the new Haicheng government bluntly pointed out in Guangming Daily, "Miss Shen of SF is a fashion cancer, please take her SF out of Haicheng!"

Such remarks are really common, and frequent brainwashing remarks make many evil thoughts of men who already despise women in their hearts. These people openly raised funds to buy pages in major media outlets, bombarding Shen Fu, and the disgusting words used are difficult to look at.

What's more, they fished in troubled waters and made a big fuss in this matter, claiming that "women will become bad if they are rich", "women should not show their heads to work, they should return their work resources to men, and women should return to their families" and so on. There are many high-ranking government officials, celebrities from all walks of life, famous scholars, and so on who make such remarks, which is really eye-shattering.

Shen Fu's SF shop on Zhongshan Road was splashed with red paint twice in just three days, and even radicals wanted to enter the store and smash it, but were stopped by the bodyguards invited by Shen Fu who had prepared in advance.

This incident gradually fermented into a social event, from Shen Fu's private affairs to the whole society's thinking about the status of women. Shen Fu, Chen Fangya and others bought entire pages in Haicheng Daily and Guangming Daily, publicly rebuked Zhu Chenghe and others for their disrespect for women, and called on women in Haicheng to stand up against these radicals.

At the beginning of August, female workers in Haicheng went on strike, students at women's colleges began to strike, and almost half of Haicheng's women began to take to the streets to demonstrate. They march through the streets in the morning when the sun is not rising, and when the sun is out, they besiege newspapers such as The Independent and the city government offices. And Zhu Chenghe and others were repeatedly smashed glass at home, and as soon as they went out, they were splashed with paint and rotten eggs, almost to the point where everyone shouted and beat them.

At an international art exchange meeting, Kong Yunxin spoke on stage as a representative of China, talked about the issue of women's rights, and publicly stated that men and women should be equal in social status, and women should also have the freedom to enjoy beauty.

The feminist movement in Haicheng has only developed for three days, and Haicheng's industry has almost been paralyzed, and foreign media reporters stationed in Haicheng have also followed up and reported on the "August Feminist Movement" in Haicheng. Under the attention and pressure of all parties, the Haicheng city government finally responded, and several officials were dismissed for discriminating against women. The editor-in-chief of The Independent publicly apologized, while Zhu Chenghe and others also had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes under great pressure.

The "August Feminist Movement" in Haicheng directly promoted the revision of women's laws in the future, improving the laws and regulations on women's education and employment, and the conviction of public discrimination against women was also written into the articles...... Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

In the history of Chinese feminism, the "August Feminist Movement" is destined to go down in history.

……

In Shen's house in the south of the city, the family was eating breakfast quietly, who knew that Shen Yinghua was flipping through the newspaper, and suddenly the chopsticks in his hand slapped heavily on the table, "It's really fortunate that I had the foresight to cut off the relationship with this Shen Fu...... Do you think she is doing what she is doing now? Is there a little bit of shame in leading a group of women to march on the streets? !"

Mrs. Shen silently peeled the eggshell, also frowned, and echoed, "Yes, didn't the "Independent" say that Xiao Mi's private life outside was very messy? It's a shame that I forgot the three obediences and four virtues I taught her before, and fortunately I broke off her relationship with the Shen family, otherwise our Shen family's reputation would have been ruined. How will Xiao Jing and Xiao Dai get married in the future?!"

Shen Yinghua only frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead could kill mosquitoes, he tapped his fingers heavily on the newspaper a few times, and said with a disdainful expression, "You saw that Shen Fu's women's clothing store was doing well before, and you even wanted to recognize her back, I think you are really blinded by lard! I don't want to think about it, where does she have the ability and money to open such a big store as a little girl? I think maybe what the "Independent" said is true!"

When Shen Yinghua thought of what Shen Fu had done outside, he was both resentful and happy, and he couldn't wait to strangle Shen Fu when she was born.

The figure sitting opposite Mrs. Shen said in a weird manner, "She is no longer our little girl, Shen Fu clearly knows that Bilis is Xiao Dai's brainchild, and she is still going against Xiao Dai in a different way." I see, eighty percent of the arrangements for Xiao Dai and Duan He'an in the newspaper before were made by Shen Fu!"

Mrs. Shen's face was so grief-stricken that she almost beat her chest, "What kind of evil obstacle did I really raise! Not only did I not study well, but I also framed my own sister, it's really not a thing!"

Shen Jinyu on the side really couldn't listen to it anymore, he silently put down the glass in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Mom and Dad, don't push anything on her because of your prejudice against Xiaoyi." It is said that people gather in groups and things in kind, and if you look at the friends around Xiaofu, they are all Chen Fangya, Kong Yunxin, etc., and you can see that Xiaoyi's nature is not bad at all. ”

Shen Yinghua glared at Shen Jinyu hatefully, and said angrily, "What do you know? These people are all the same kind of goods, what kind of feminist movement are they engaged in, where do they look like what everyone should look like? I think they were all taught bad by those foreigners!"

Shen Jinyu shook her head helplessly, feeling more and more that she was a little out of place in this family.

……

On this day, Qin Ze had just accompanied Shen Fu to the "Haicheng Daily" to publish a statement, and as soon as he returned home, he received a call from the capital.
