Pastor Billy McCartney believes that in the current context of the times, women are free to do anything, and the so-called sexism has long been outdated; Those so-called feminists are psychological, hysterical, overreacting, and have no sense of humor; They also emotionally and impulsively blame all the underlying problems, as if the whole society was targeting them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but in fact, they are the destroyers who destroy social stability.

As a pastor, Billy's influence in the direction of religion is not to be underestimated, and his speech will be echoed by many loyalists, just like last year's "Brokeback Mountain", after the movie was banned in Utah, most of the residents of the state did not react much, they all followed the direction of the church and took it for granted. Of course, these conservative forces are themselves the building blocks of traditional culture.

The traditional culture that the Republican Party in the United States has always been promoting is: male protagonist and female protagonist, buying a villa in the suburbs, paying off the mortgage slowly, stable employment, two to three children, and a dog. This fixed concept of the middle class can be said to be deeply ingrained, and it is also a universal concept in the United States, which has also given birth to a large number of works on the crisis of middle class, the most famous of which are "American Beauty" and "A Cup of Life".

It can be said that this is the mainstream American outlook on life.

Of course, the United States is a country of immigrants, and the integration and collision of cultures is an eternal theme, and the stark gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably lead to differences in class concepts, and the richness and diversity of outlook on life, values, and worldview is also one of the characteristics of the North American continent. But on the whole, the shackles of mainstream thought are still difficult to break, "Brokeback Mountain" was ignored by Oscar, "Chicago" defeated "The Pianist", "Forrest Gump" defeated "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction...... This is the most direct proof of this.

So, when Billy speaks out, the enormous impact on the middle class is incalculable, especially in the central and southern regions. Not only that, but Billy also called out again, "In today's society, women have earned their rightful place, and now they should stop hurting their husbands and even their children, and return to the family and assume the role of traditional women." ”

After half a century of fighting, women have won many rights, but in the 21st century, these rights have gradually begun to be attacked, such as the right to legal/abortion/abortion, the right to divorce, the right of women to enter the labor market, and so on.

Because there is a view that women's competition with men in the field of business causes double harm: on the one hand, they force men to become workaholics, so that they can keep their good jobs, such as intellectual jobs; On the other hand, it makes it easier for men to accept bad work, which is like manual labor. At the same time, after women entered the labor market, this also changed the importance and centrality of men, and also changed the status of women in the family, so the problem arose, women no longer need men as they used to, but women are needed no matter what, because only women can have children, but men do not. However, men also need the feeling of being needed by others.

Therefore, conservatives led by Billy have accused women of entering social production and labor, making men unemployed and increasing the burden on women. They called on women to return to their families once again.

Billy indignantly denounced, "When a film, and a well-respected director, is promoting this deviant and meaningless idea and winning popularity, it is a step backwards for the whole society, and this kind of thinking is destroying our traditional culture." It's a shame on the entire film industry! ”

This reminds people of Mel Gibson last year, before the news of Mel's insult to Jews was revealed, the "Passion of the Christ" encountered strong protests from religious people, and even triggered a debate between Catholics and Jews, but the "Passion of the Christ" was set on the fire and roasted, and the endless arguments made Mel attacked. Now, once again, the "Fury Road" is facing such a situation.

In addition to Bill's Christian New Good Men organization, the leader of the patriarchal organization, Robert Bly, also came forward, "Ridiculous! Absurd! The whole movie is completely ridiculous! From any point of view, the story is stupid, the female characters in it are simply outrageous, this is a slander and subversion of the traditional female image, and at the same time a smear of traditional culture, whether it is the female general or those women, everything is so disgusting! This movie shouldn't be R-rated, it should be NC-17 at all! It shouldn't even be made! ”

Robert was simply foaming at the mouth and furious, and his words were impassioned and flushed, "What is even more disgusting is that the male character who should be dominant has become synonymous with deformed children, which is a serious insult to male authority, and even to the theory of evolution!" In the context of an era when male power has been seriously weakened, this film tries to turn all men into unmasculine mothersies/cannons! Mind you, this is a precursor to the demise of humanity! Humanity is gone! ”

The central idea of patriarchal organizations is that from a genetic point of view, men are inherently different from women, and that men are the dominant ones from the point of view of physiology and evolutionary theory - even though this statement has been scientifically proven wrong, they still hope that society will return to the era of the male nuclear family, and let women return to the family to play the role of good wives and mothers, which is the "right family value".

Therefore, Robert's anger at the "Fury Road" is clearly visible, hitting like a storm, and quickly sparking a violent reaction on the Internet - instantly pushing the "Fury Road" to the forefront, everyone projected their eyes, whether they agree or not, but it is undeniable that the debate about masculinism and feminism has all exploded, especially in the context of last week's premiere box office record, the discussion about "Fury Road" has exploded.

According to Yahoo community statistics, in just 24 hours, the topic of "Fury Road" has exceeded 800,000 replies, and the click-through rate has reached an incredible 6 million - a record that may really be unprecedented in the past. Google's statistics are more direct, and within 24 hours, "Fury Road" topped the search keyword rankings, with more than 16 million searches, also setting a new high.

The frenzy of the summer season has reached unprecedented heights, and even the turbulence of "Spider-Man" in 2003 is far from comparable to this year. The "furious road" caught in the whirlpool of controversy suddenly became stormy, and 56% of the box office miracles in the first week of the movie were men, even if only half of the audience was lost among them, which was a fatal blow to the subsequent box office curve of the film.

To make matters worse, the protest march, which was scheduled to take place only next week, was officially staged on Saturday afternoon! Clearly, there was someone behind the scenes, and the men's rights activist groups were quickly approved – Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago – and the rest of the cities will have to wait until next week, so it's clear that they want to strike while the iron is hot and push this crusade to the top before Chaos Pictures can respond effectively!

More than 800 people marched in the square next to the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard – all men – and a group of 600 people chose to demonstrate around Rockefeller Square, both of which drew crowds, especially in New York, the center of the nation's culture, with nearly 2,000 onlookers and a blockage of nearby streets, all closely watching the masculine protests. Even Chicago, which had the smallest number of people, had more than four hundred people participating in the march.

Needless to say, the march attracted the attention of all journalists, only in Los Angeles, more than 200 reporters arrived at the scene to report for the first time, not only entertainment reporters, but also social reporters and political reporters have joined in, and the dispute about men's rights and women's rights has gradually broken away from the influence of the "Fury Road" movie, and began to radiate to the whole society.

Hollywood Boulevard, which was already crowded with tourists, was almost overcrowded, and more than 60 anti-riot/police/prosecutors were on standby at the scene, separating the demonstrators from the onlookers, and considering the sensitive topic of gender discrimination, the City Hall had to take into account the danger of physical confrontation - the extremes of the patriarchal group, and the radical nature of feminism in comparison, could trigger a real social chaos at any time, and Fox TV even drove the live broadcast car directly, Live-streamed coverage of the scene, and the whole of Los Angeles was enveloped in an atmosphere of excitement that was on the verge of spiraling out of control.

The crowd of demonstrators, surrounded in the center, held aloft signs and walked in circles around the site, shouting slogans, "Resist the 'Road of Rage'!" Restore male dignity! The unanimous shouts spread out in unison, and when the emotions were high, they would shout loudly to the crowd of onlookers, "Man power!" Man Power! "Trying to wake up the blood of everyone present in this exciting way, Hollywood Boulevard looks like a pot of boiling dumplings from afar.

Things are getting out of control little by little, and all signs are that this boycott will not end in a short time, and no one expected that the "furious road", which was still full of glory just two days ago, has fallen into a crisis that it is difficult to protect itself in the blink of an eye!

Chaos Pictures was pushed to the edge of a cliff by surprise, and the cold wind was raging and crumbling. (To be continued.) )
