Whenever a political image or class image appears, will we naturally substitute males first; whether the relationship between each social group, such as family, is connected by males; and so on. The definition of “other” explains my vague sense of discomfort in cognition of the world: many things seem not to have been designed for me, or that their definition is not based on me. And when I imagine myself as a male, the substitution comes naturally and the discomfort disappears.

After this awareness is awakened, the existing injustice in the world will clearly emerge. Not only the deep-rooted contradiction of why women are supposed to take care of the family, but also the question of whether women have emotional and physical needs that cannot be met by men, which I have never considered, are worth thinking about.

每当一个政治形象,阶层形象出现时,我们是否会自然首先代入男性;每一个社会团体如家庭等的关系,是否由男性作为连结;等等等等。“他者”的定义解释了我在认知这个世界时的隐约不适感:很多东西仿佛原本不是为我设计的,或者说,他们的定义并不是以我为本位的。而当我把自己想象成一个男性时,代入便顺理成章,不适感荡然无存。

这个意识觉醒之后,世界现有的不公就很明显地浮现出来。不仅是为何设定女性看顾家庭这种根深蒂固的矛盾,还有女性从情感到肉体是否有非男性不可满足的需求这种我从未考虑过的问题,都值得人停下脚步思考。
