Session 1 (Men's Rights Movement)
The men's rights movement (MRM) is a branch of men's movement. The MRM in particular consists of a variety of groups and individuals who focus on general social issues and specific government services which adversely impact, or in some cases structurally discriminate against, men and boys. Common topics debated within the men's rights movement include the alleged favor given to women in family law including but not limited to matters such as child custody, alimony and marital property distribution.
Please watch the video, otherwise you will have no idea what to discuss
1. What do you think is the point of this beautiful feminist's speech? How can her point apply to people with different political opinion.
2. What part of this speech do you agree or disagree with?
3. Some scholars argue that the men's right movement or parts of it is a backlash against feminism. What do you think?
Session 2 (A Chinese accuser of Harvey Weinstein)
1. When a woman accuser of sexual misconduct goes public to tell her story and the man denies the accusation, do you usually believe the woman or the man? Why? (Let's not consider she has evidence or not) Have you ever witnessed or experienced any sexual misconduct in your workplace?
2. There was a Japanese female journalist who went public to accuse a high-level media man ,who had good connections with Japanese Prime Minister, of sexual attack. Also, a Korean female secretary of former Mayor of Seoul went on national TV to accuse her boss. Why there has never been any woman in Taiwan (also in China) ever going public to accuse a powerful man of sexual misconduct? (even after #MeToo movement) Chinese women are not brave enough? Chinese men behave themselves better? Because of our social culture or justice system?
3. Why is this Chinese woman brave enough to have this accusation TV interview?because she was raised and educated in western society? or because of the #MeToo movement? or maybe she received money for doing this interview? or other possible reasons?
