1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Perhaps it was because he remembered that his older brothers could study but he could not;

Perhaps she is remembering a previous experience of being beaten by her husband or father;

Perhaps it was because she remembered her companions who had been tortured beyond recognition by men in the early years for a trivial matter;

Perhaps they felt that participating in this "great women's movement" would allow them to gain greater benefits in the future...

In short, they were shaken.

Liu Mingxia's words "You should naturally speak for women" were like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the long-suppressed emotions in the conference hall.

Those women representatives who were originally wavering, confused, or even just watching the fun seemed to be given some kind of "sacred mission" by these words, and an inexplicable fanaticism began to spread among the crowd.

"Yes! Minister He! You have to speak for us!"

"You are the leader of us women, you can't side with men!" "Petition! Let the central government make the decision for us!"

"What central government?! We want 'equality and justice for all women'! Women should have the final say!" "Whoever proposed 'people's servants' needs to change it to 'people's maids'!"

"Eh? This is still a bit..."

"Then... change 'Serve the People' to 'Serve Women'!" "Well said!"

Amidst the chaotic noise, "Ma Dandan" quietly took something out of his pocket, handed it to Liu Mingxia, and whispered:

"Sister, I'm younger than you and don't have much prestige. I think you should take on this important task, right?"

"what..."

Liu Mingxia subconsciously took the paper, glanced at it a few times, and immediately felt like she had found a treasure.

Ahhhhhhhhh sister, you are such an amazing woman!

Without even saying "thank you", she raised it and shouted to He Baozhen, Wang Genying and other women representatives:

"Sisters! Just shouting slogans is useless! We must fight for our rights with concrete actions! Minister He, Minister Wang, and all the representatives present here, please sign this petition! We will jointly write to the central government!"

"A petition?"

Everyone was arguing with each other just now, and not many people noticed Ma Dandan's little action. They were immediately stunned. Seeing countless eyes cast on her, Liu Mingxia proudly read:

"Petition to protect women's political rights and achieve true 'equality and justice for mothers'!"

"Given that women make up over half of the population and have long suffered systematic oppression, we demand that women comprise no less than 50% of representatives in the National People's Congress to fully reflect women's will and protect their rights. Government agencies should also be adjusted accordingly!"

"Second, in light of the various injustices women face in all aspects of our country and society, we demand that female deputies to the National People's Congress have the right to vote to enact, amend, or repeal laws that affect women's rights!"

"Third, given that childbearing is a sacred duty unique to women and involves immense sacrifice, we demand legislation stipulating that the right to a child's surname automatically belongs to the mother, thereby demonstrating a 'complete subversion of patriarchal oppression'!"

"Fourth, given that women bear a double burden in the family and society, we demand that legislation stipulate that, under equal conditions, women enjoy priority in employment, promotion, and remuneration, to compensate for historical injustices!"

"five,..."

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him that he himself had personally led, "Marcoko" showed a sneer on his face behind the mask.

Okay, I just increased the speed a little bit and that's it.

During the "Yan'an Period" in history, those people didn't even have enough to eat (they had to rely on "special supplies" because of insufficient supplies - their husbands were fighting on the front lines while they enjoyed themselves in the rear). Furthermore, given the environment (most of them were working women), they still acted like a demon.

Now that we are truly well-fed, and living in an extremely complex, highly inclusive society where "a hundred flowers bloom," aren't we even more desperate to cause trouble?

In fact, according to Fujiwara no Kanezane's temperament, an organization like the "Women's Federation" should not exist in itself - since men and women are equal, why don't we have a "Men's Federation" instead of a "Women's Federation"?

Is it that the Party's glory fails to reach the vast majority of women, or is it that those female cadres are not good at doing women's work?

Is it necessary to create a "party within the party" that exists openly?

Of course, the CCP has its own reasons, and some historical issues cannot be completely ignored.

But that was the Communist Party of China. The new regime established by Fujiwara no Kanezane had no such historical burden - almost everything in the country was entirely under his personal dictatorship, and women played a very small role in it.

If that is the case, then why did Fujiwara Kanezane support the establishment of the Women's Federation in the first place?

This is a political issue.

First, in the Five-Star Oriental Republic, a newly established country in need of reconstruction, the women's liberation movement is essential and a vital force in promoting social progress, and must be given due respect.

Secondly, if you don't allow them to establish a "Women's Federation," you're standing at a low moral ground, and the backlash will be even more severe in the future, because this is the "trend of the times," and even Fujiwara no Kanezane couldn't openly oppose it—otherwise, why would you talk about "liberating all of China"?

Finally, the more extreme the feminists are, the more they can attract those with ulterior motives and idiots, and the more they can make the whole society aware of the problem. The idiotic behavior of idiots is more educational than any preaching or ban from the government.

If the masses insist on jumping into the fire pit, then jump with them!

A revolution that is too radical will cause future generations to question the very meaning of its existence. Therefore, it is better to say that Fujiwara no Kanezane supported the establishment of the Women's Federation in order to abolish it and discredit its name.

I watched her build a tall building, I watched her entertain guests, and I watched her building collapse.

As expected, not long after the establishment of the "Women's Federation", there was a tendency towards feminism and even extreme feminism. This ideological tendency finally broke out completely when Wang and He were dismissed from their posts and "exiled to the countryside."

For Fujiwara Kanezane, who has witnessed how those "boxers" who use the banner of "feminism" but actually exercise extreme privileges, incite confrontation, and tear society apart stir up trouble, this is actually a good thing for "pre-detoxification."

He wanted to completely detonate these potentially dangerous extreme ideas within a controllable range before their movements could form a huge social influence;

Let Baozhen and Wang Genying, women cadres who are truly rooted in the masses and have firm revolutionary beliefs, see with their own eyes and feel firsthand the absurdity and harm of this extreme ideology;

Let the simple working women representatives see clearly through comparison who is truly concerned about them, and let those petty bourgeois wastes form their own groups and isolate themselves from the majority of the people;

Let some of those idiots see clearly that Confucius' words are not entirely useless. Don't mistake the "personality" of a few outstanding revolutionary female predecessors for the "commonality" of all women.

In short, we need to accelerate this process until a comprehensive social consensus is formed that cannot be changed for generations, so that this cancer of female boxing can be nipped in the bud!

Of course, completely stifling them was a dream, but he just didn't believe that He Baozhen, Wang Genying, Zhao Yiman, Li Huanying, Lin Qiaozhi, Ma Jue... these communist women or pragmatic working women could endure it!

"Ridiculous! Look at this, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!"

He Baozhen slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and walked forward in two or three steps to grab the petition. Voices criticizing its contents exploded in the meeting hall:

"Do you understand what the National People's Congress is?! Being a representative is determined by being elected by the people! It's based on whether you can represent the people's interests and speak and act for them! It's not based on whether you have a male or female genitalia!"

"According to your logic, shouldn't worker representatives also account for 50%? Shouldn't farmer representatives also account for 50%? Then why bother with elections? Just distribute the pork by gender or occupation!"

"'Laws concerning women's rights'? Which law in the Five-Star Oriental Republic doesn't concern all the people? So, do you have the right to amend or abolish all laws? Then why not just run the country yourself?"

"And this 'automatic surname-giving' thing? Children are the fruit of their parents' love, and surnames are a matter for family negotiation. Why does the state have the right to legislate and impose this? You're trying to create new family conflicts and undermine social harmony!"

"As for the 'employment priority for women,' it's sheer nonsense! What does the Ministry of Labor do all day? It's working hard to eliminate employment discrimination and ensure equal pay for equal work! If you don't work in the mines, why should you be treated like a miner?"

"What we want is a fair competitive environment where people earn their living based on their abilities and enjoy benefits based on their contributions! We don't want 'priority' bestowed by national legislation! This kind of privileged thinking only brings shame to truly working women!"

He Baozhen has always had a good temper, but this time she became more and more angry, and even forgot the "rules" and shouted directly:

"I suggest that all representatives vote to expel from the Women's Federation those who support this cancerous ideology!"

This is the truth, but also a political consideration.

If people like Liu Mingxia and Ma Dandan were to remain in the Women's Federation, how would the outside world view the Women's Federation? How bad would the reputation of the Women's Federation be? You can imagine it with your ass!

However, before anyone else could react, Ma Dandan said quietly:

"Expel us? Excuse me, Sister Liu and I only made a suggestion and said a few words. Which rules did we violate? Commander Fujiwara didn't bother that old farmer, and Commander Wang didn't do anything to Zhang Guanyi. What right do you have to expel us?"

He Baozhen and the other women who were about to support her were frozen in place. According to the rules... there was really no way to fire her.

Because of Fujiwara no Kanezane's words, "No one will be punished for speech under my rule. Let people speak, and the sky will not fall," there is absolutely no option of "expelling people for saying the wrong thing" within the Women's Federation.

The old farmer who scolded Fujiwara no Kanematsu was still given land as usual, and Zhang Guanyi who scolded Wang Yong even became an official. The Women's Federation really has no reason to expel a few members who said something, even if they put forward obviously wrong opinions.

The composition of the members of the Women's Federation of the Five-Star Eastern Republic is as complex as the composition of the country itself. There have been cases of fierce conflicts between members in the past, and they usually end up being punished with both sides.

The venue fell into an awkward situation.

"In that case, I, Wang Genying, announce my withdrawal from the Women's Federation of the Five-Star Oriental Republic."

At this moment, Wang Genying, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up, walked over to He Baozhen, took out her membership card, placed it on top of the petition, and calmly tore it into pieces, throwing them on the ground.

"Whether I am the Minister of Labor or not, my duty is to serve all working people and this Republic, not to play these ridiculous games of playing house, creating division, and subverting the country with you."

"Therefore, I am withdrawing from the organization. From now on, I, Wang Genying, will draw a clear line between myself and you, a group of unrealistic extremists who seek to subvert the country, create conflicts, and divide the people."

"I will obey all arrangements made by the Central Committee. Even if it means going to the most difficult rural grassroots level and living and working with real working sisters, it's better than listening to your bullshit here!"

The venue was dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was shocked by Wang Genying's resolute attitude and powerful words.

What she tore up was not only the petition and membership card, but also the barely maintained false appearance of harmony within the "Women's Federation", exposing the class contradictions that had always existed but had been concealed to everyone.

At a time when ideological enlightenment was still incomplete and the general public's understanding of "equality" and "rights" was still very naive, young "new intellectual women" like Liu Mingxia were definitely two different species from working women.

Renovation?

dream.

History has repeatedly proven that even if they are forced to lie dormant due to the situation, they will counterattack more fiercely in the future - under the leadership of capitalism and bureaucracy.

He Baozhen instantly realized how quick Wang Genying's reaction was, how wise her choice was, and how decisive her actions were, and immediately followed suit:

"I, He Baozhen, will never join an organization that promotes extreme ideas, incites gender antagonism, and even attempts to interfere with the country's fundamental political system. I am withdrawing from the organization!"

"I, Li Mingzhi, withdraw from the association!"

"I, Zhang Erya, am withdrawing from the guild!"

"I, Fu Xiaoxiao, am withdrawing from the club!" "I..."

Like a flood bursting through a dam, representatives of working women with calluses on their hands stood up, announced their withdrawal from the association, threw away or tore up their membership cards, and surrounded He Baozhen and Wang Genying as they walked out of the venue.

They may not be able to express any profound principles, or even understand what "class" is, but out of trust in "old revolutionaries" like He Baozhen and Wang Genying who really did practical things for them, they made their choice without hesitation.

Besides, they really can't stand the boring and weird stuff like "mother is equal and mother is upright".

Liu Mingxia looked at her supporters who had suddenly become sparse, at the "intellectual women" who had been incited by them but now looked confused and even ashamed, and at the conference hall which was mostly empty. A huge sense of panic and frustration surged in her heart.

"sister.…"

She was just about to look for her biggest supporter "Ma Dandan" to think of a solution, but found that the other party had disappeared long ago.

At this moment, in an alley, two people who were sneaking back home heard a long sigh:

"Sure enough, the greatest, most enduring, and most universal 'art' in China is men dressing up as women."

"

Ma Keke's body froze, and he suddenly covered his face with his hands: "You got the wrong person! Ouch!!"
