When our histories are written, sometimes those women make it into the margins, sometimes only into the footnotes.

We all carry one of these, right. Bags. It comes in different colors and shapes and sizes, and it's made in multiple different fabrics.But it all has one purpose, to hold what we choose to carry. But what if I told you that this bag isn't just about what's inside, but rather about who packed it.

And even before she gets a chance to open her own bag, ...

RT Dr. Simon Goddek (@goddeketal)FEMINISM convinced women that being a mother was slavery but being a corporate cog was liberation. Now society is childless, soulless, and truly disoriented.Fun fact: the same ideology also says boys can be girls, men can be women, and yes, you can even be a barn animal if you want.When truth is dead, collapse is inevitable. ...

GlobenewswireΒ· 2025-09-02 14:00
Core Perspective - The debut of the sci-fi play "Humans Only Cafe" in Shanghai has ignited discussions on themes of love, AI ethics, and feminism, with plans for a UK staging [1][8] Group 1: Themes of Love - The play centers on the concept of love, with the playwright Angelina Guo arguing that her generation undervalues it, which she considers a tragic development [3] - It explores the intersection of love, feminist thought, and advancements in artificial intelligence, prompting audiences to question the potential for machines to love and whether humans can reciprocate that love [3] Group 2: AI Ethics - "Humans Only Cafe" addresses AI ethics, challenging the notion that machines are merely fake and highlighting parallels between human behavior and programming [4] - The play raises critical questions about the boundaries between humans and machines, as well as humanity's confidence in controlling its own creations [4] Group 3: Feminism and Social Media - Feminism is a central theme, with Guo critiquing the reduction of women's value to wealth and status as promoted by some social media narratives [5] - The play emphasizes that feminism should encompass respect for women's choices beyond financial success [5] Group 4: Cultural Reflections - The narrative critiques how cultural expressions reinforce patriarchal values, noting that terms for "strong woman" are often male-centered, while equivalent terms for "strong man" do not exist [6] - This reflects societal standards that celebrate women's success based on male-defined criteria [6] Group 5: Audience Reception and Character Development - Audience members have described the play as one about courage that transcends feminism, featuring a female AI character that challenges traditional beliefs about robots [7] - A human character in the play rejects the "strong woman" archetype, opting for a more authentic identity [7] Group 6: Development and Accessibility - Originally a 15-minute short piece, the complexity of the narrative led to its expansion into a mid-length play, with writing completed over six months starting in February 2025 [8] - Plans are in place for a UK staging, and the script will be made available for under-resourced schools to stage their own productions [8]

Core Argument - Feminism advocates for gender equity, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all genders, aiming to dismantle stereotypes that confine women to subordinate roles [3] - Stereotypes create a cycle where women are perceived as the "second sex," leading to societal expectations that limit their potential and career choices [4][5] - Education and awareness are crucial to dismantle stereotypes and build a more equitable future by informing and transforming society as a whole [15][16] Data & Statistics - Globally, approximately 70% of doctors are male, while 89% of nurses are female [5] - Around 57% of professors are male, whereas 76% of elementary and secondary school teachers are female [5] - These disparities reveal that leadership and authority, traditionally linked to masculinity, remain largely male-dominated, while caregiving roles with lower status and pay are predominantly female [7] Societal Impact & Personal Experiences - Societal stratification constrains women's potential, impacting real lives and stories across generations [8] - Even with increased feminist rhetoric, societal expectations still influence behavioral expectations, with girls often held to different standards than boys [11][12][13] - Intersectionality highlights that women from different races, ethnicities, and societal classes face unique forms of oppression, emphasizing that gender equality cannot be understood in isolation [17]
