Conan: The winner is justice

After staying in the toilet for almost half an hour, Gu Meimen walked out.

Most of the reporters outside had left, with only a few unwilling ones still staying in the hall.

When I saw Gu Meimen coming out, I wanted to run over and rub him in.

The bodyguard Aso Makoto held one in each hand and threw them all outside, almost breaking the camera.

"Now don't think about anyone writing good reports about you."

Looking at the reporters who were running away in panic, Xiao Ai said this.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not familiar with these media outlets."

Gu Meimen waved her hand and didn't care at all.

Gu Meimen also has a sense of proportion in doing things.

He has been working as a lawyer for almost a year. As a popular profession in this world, he is quite familiar in the media field.

Occasionally, if you need some gossip, you have to keep in touch with these people to exchange information and so on.

Journalists and lawyers, these two professions are similar.

It is a good thing when it is needed, but it is annoying to dogs when it is not needed.

Walking outside the court, Gu Meimen glanced and saw a familiar car parked in the parking lot.

There was a familiar figure leaning against the car.

"The lawsuit was finished more than half an hour ago, right? Why are you coming out now?"

I saw Kujo Reiko holding a lady's cigarette between her slender fingers, looking at Komemon smoking and asking.

"I can't figure it out. Is this thing really so good?"

Gu Meimen glanced at the cigarette in her hand.

"Why do you always smoke this thing every time I see you?"

Kujo Reiko took a deep breath, raised her head and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"Cigarettes can numb people's nerves and make them forget many worries."

She smiled helplessly.

"Many years ago, I also thought cigarettes were bad, but when I took my first puff, I found I could never quit."

"Really?" Gu Meimen nodded, "If you smoke too much, you may get lung cancer. You will die at a young age. How pitiful."

"Haha, you are really good at talking as always."

Kujo Reiko glanced at him.

After a pause, she shook her head and said, "Actually, women smoking women's cigarettes also has a special meaning. Do you know what it is?"

Gu Meimen thought for a while and said, "I hope you die early so that you can save some money for your family?"

"...Can you be more serious?" Kujo Reiko paused and said speechlessly.

"Okay, I know what you want to say."

Gu Meimen curled her lips.

“Aren’t women learning to smoke just to keep up with feminism?”

Yes, as Kujo Reiko said, women smoking has a special meaning.

Before the 20th century, smoking was the exclusive preserve of men.

Smoking by women was considered debauchery and was equivalent to prostitution. People can often see paintings from that time showing naked women with cigarettes in their hands and high heels on their feet, which all reflected people's prejudice against women smoking at that time.

Beginning in the late nineteenth century, women's awareness of rights rose, and women began to use cigarettes to declare their independence and pursuit of freedom. They regard the right to smoke as part of their fight for equal status for women.

The image of smoking women has undergone a complete transformation in the creations of many female artists.

With cigarettes in their hands, red lips, white teeth, and graceful figures, they began to represent charm, independence, and freedom.

After the 20th century, women's smoking became more open and popular, and smoking became a symbol of the new woman.

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Kujo Reiko couldn't help but laugh, "In Japan today, women's rights awareness is rising. Smoking represents my yearning for personal freedom and my fight against the rights of my father's family, so I began to learn how to Smoking is a spirit of resistance and I am proud of it.”

"Really? If you think so, you are totally wrong."

After hearing this, Gu Meimen shrugged.

"You feel like you're using cigarettes to claim your rights as a woman, but in reality you're completely falling into the trap of someone - who might be a man."

Kujo Reiko frowned: "What do you mean?"

Gu Meimen asked back: "Do you think that 'women smoking cigarettes can declare women's rights'? How did this statement come about and become widely circulated?"

Kujo Reiko nodded and said: "Of course it is because of the rise of women's awareness of women's rights. Many Japanese women are smoking now."

"Really?" Gu Meimen couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "Teacher Reiko, I think you have been living like a dog for the past thirty years."

"Haha." Kujo Reiko raised her eyes, "Then our Gu Meimen lawyer, what do you have to say?"

Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows: "Are you still asking me? Use your 30-year-old brain and think about it carefully. Isn't the lawsuit I'm fighting now a living example?"

After hearing this, Kujo Reiko frowned and thought for a long time.

Finally, she looked at Gu Meimen: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Gu Meimen turned to look at Xiao Ai beside her.

"Look, what am I talking about? A high degree doesn't prove anything. Here's an idiot who went to college, went to law school as an undergraduate, lived in his thirties, and still knows nothing about some obvious things. woman."

Xiao Ai was speechless and glared at him.

Then, she thought for a while and took over the conversation.

"What my brother is talking about is Daisuke Tokura, the party involved in this lawsuit. The novel he asked Toshiya Tadokoro to write for him took off quickly in a short period of time because he used Japan's women's rights to promote it, which earned him a lot of money. Loyal female fans, buy his novels.”

"Is that so..."

Reiko Kujo frowned in thought.

Because she was not the person in charge of the case, she did not have an in-depth understanding of the case and was not very clear about the things behind the person involved.

"Understood?" Gu Meimen said, "This kind of thing is the same when it comes to you women. You think you are smoking cigarettes that represent women's rights, but in fact it is a marketing tool used by those businesses."

There was a pause.

"This kind of marketing method is called 'pseudo-feminist marketing'. Capital has packaged feminism and turned it into a way to get rich in marketing, but those who hide behind and control everything are actually men. Capital will not be absent from anyone who caters to the public and makes money from it. Opportunities, especially making money from women, the so-called 'her economy' is actually 'his economy'."

"..."

Kujo Reiko didn't say a word.

At this time, her face had changed and was a little ugly.

Gu Meimen continued: "You always think that you are responding to the call of the times and fighting for women's rights. In fact, you have no idea that you have fallen into a trap and have been used as a weapon. In my opinion, you Women are just a bunch of brainless fools... Ouch!"

Halfway through his words, Gu Meimen screamed in pain, covered his feet and jumped up.

It turned out to be Xiao Ai next to him, who stepped on him hard.
