I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

"Some feminists particularly worship muscle strength, and particularly worship women with muscles."

"Note, it's not like, it's not appreciation, it's worship."

"This kind of muscle worship often expresses love for muscular women while also expressing strong disgust and disparagement for white, young and thin women."

Li Zhao thought back to his past and said, "I also like to look at muscular women, but I also like to look at fair, young and thin women."

"As long as they are beautiful and have lovely qualities, I will appreciate them. I will not disparage others just because I like one thing."

"Let's look at a typical statement by a muscle worshiper."

[Username]: The host sees Bai Shouyou so clearly, so he must not be Bai Shouyou, and the characters he writes about must not be Bai Shouyou, right?

[Username]: The cover and the host’s avatar must not be set by the host himself. How could the host use such a pale, thin and young image to represent himself and the characters he writes about?

Li Zhao couldn't stop laughing. "This is a commentary on an online drama. The heroine of my online drama was only six years old at that time, but she had already started the imperial examination for women in ancient times, trained female generals, female officials, and female doctors, reformed the ancient system, and made the emperor kneel down and call her ancestor..."

"Did everyone see that?"

The audience in the barrage expressed confusion.

[青提杏子]: This [user name] seems to hate the image of fair, young and thin women.

[Sikong Zhu who loves potato pancakes]: Why? She has read this far, why does she seem to hate the thin, white female protagonist described by the anchor?

Li Zhao sneered: "Because being pale, young and thin means being weak in their eyes."

"She can't see the heroine's achievements, she can't see the heroine's wisdom, she can't see the heroine's martial arts, she can only see that the heroine is a skinny six-year-old child with no muscles!"

Li Zhao commented: "[Username], this person is a typical [Appearance-first person]."

"She only cares about the appearance of the characters, and ignores everything else!"

Qingluan hissed, "Hiss! Zhaozhao, does this scene seem familiar to you?"

"Isn't it like those men in the past, who envied strong muscular men while looking down on skinny men as weaklings, ignoring their wisdom and achievements and looking down on them as if they were little sissies?"

Li Zhao nodded: "Qingluan, you are right. These women worship muscular women while disparaging pale, thin and young women. They admire the strong and hate the weak. What is the difference between them and those men?"

"This group of muscle worshippers are what Mr. Ueno called women who have been assimilated by the camaraderie of a patriarchal society."

"They don't want to see women showing any weakness, and they don't want to see women exist or appear in a weak image."

"In a patriarchal society, the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon by the strong. They also worship muscle strength and the so-called strong, and despise and hate the weak. They are not feminists at all, but a gender-reversed version of patriarchy."

"Real feminism does not discriminate against the weak. What feminism wants to build is a society where men and women, young and old, rich and poor, can be respected and loved, and can live in harmony."

Li Zhao added: "Those of you who have read Mr. Ueno's "Misogyny" and "Beginning with the Limit" will know that patriarchy, men's admiration for the strong, fear of the weak, and hatred of the weak are one and the same."

"And some feminists, women, and elite women admire the strong, fear the weak, and hate the weak. This is also a kind of invisible misogyny."

"Because in the context of a patriarchal society, women who don't have a strong body are weak."

"Mr. Ueno said that people who are [weak-phobic] don't want to admit that they are weak and don't want to be treated as victims, so they don't allow other women to express themselves in this way. This is actually [misogyny]."

"There are also those muscular women who work out. Some of them do it to become a better version of themselves."

"Some people go to the gym because they hate their bodies and their own weakness. Even after they succeed in the gym, they still despise weakness."

“Before we can achieve our own goals, we must first accept ourselves and then transform ourselves. Accepting ourselves and transforming ourselves are not contradictory.”

"Those muscular women just don't accept themselves. They transform themselves not to become a better self, but to stay away from their inferior and weak self."

"Weak people have no confidence in their own weakness. They run madly on the road of fitness because they are afraid of their own weakness and hate their own bodies."

“When they work out, they [otherize] their bodies, and they train and transform them, and they never get rid of their weak mentality.”

Li Zhaorui commented: "This kind of person, no matter how strong he looks, is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"When they lose their muscles or face a man with stronger muscles than them, they will be beaten back to their original form."

"If women hate themselves, how can they build true self-confidence? How can they become better versions of themselves?"

"Mr. Ueno said that feminism is not about making the weak become strong or making women become like men. [Becoming like men] has never been the goal of feminists."

"Mr. Ueno also said that the fear of being weak and the sense of being different from others that is linked to appearance supremacy are actually the internalization of misogyny and male cohesion."

“Because I know that I have weaknesses, I examine and reject them with extra vehemence and refuse to empathize with the weak.”

Li Zhao pointed at this [Username].

"Looking at what [username] said, she is a typical [appearance-oriented person]."

"She thinks that white, thin, young women are weak and useless. Her words are full of contempt, denigration and disgust for the image of white, thin, young women. I guess she is not a strong person in reality."

Qingluan also snorted: "That's right, when her mentality is projected into reality, it will manifest like this."

"She not only hates the appearance of white, thin, young female characters in articles, but she also fiercely censors and rejects white, thin, young female characters in novels."

"This kind of people, these muscle worshippers, are the real weaklings."

"They need to worship a strong image to comfort themselves and hide their inner fears, but they dare not face the bleakness of life."

"Those muscular women who worship muscles are also real weaklings."

“The only thing the weak can control is their own body. They [otherize] their body and, by tempering their body, they demonstrate that they are the masters of their body and themselves.”

"They rely on their own [otherized], strong bodies, an external object, to strengthen their hearts, while looking down on white, young and thin people. But in fact, their weakness is still deeply engraved in their bones and hearts."

"This is the admiration of the strong, fear of the weak, dislike of the weak, and misogyny of male chauvinism and gender-transformed male chauvinism, all in one."

The audience in the barrage understood.

[Ping Xiaoyu]: Oh...that is to say, the more those people fear something, the louder they scream about it, right?

[Frost Prisoner]: A dog that bites doesn't bark, but a useless dog that doesn't bite barks loudly. Many female fighters on the Internet are of this type.

[Sikong Zhu who loves potato cakes]: The more they lack something, the more they emphasize it. The host is absolutely right.

[Green Grape Apricot]: Including the one who was criticized the most fiercely in the previous extra chapter [Li], she is also a waste.

[Qian Ruikang]: That [Li] barks like a dog, but she doesn’t even dare to ask her father to change her surname to her mother’s!

Qing Luan groaned, "Well, that's right. My dears, your words may be a little rough, but your logic is sound."

Facing the live broadcast room, Li Zhao said solemnly: "I personally believe that the image of women should never be synonymous with weakness, and being pale, young and thin should not be a symbol of weakness."

"Isn't Hedy Lamarr white? Aren't the Anti-Japanese Boy Scouts young? Isn't Zhang Guimei thin? Are they weak?"

In this regard, Li Zhao only has one thing to tell her fans: "I want to tell everyone,

“Female strength is not all about muscle strength, and female strength cannot be measured by appearance.”

"My dears, accept your true self and everything about yourself, and we will become better people. This includes admitting your weaknesses, which is no big deal."

"Next, here is the last bit of this live broadcast."

“Feminist misconceptions, enemies of women’s rights.”
