[Masterpiece Les Miserables] Paris Sparks

For a while, no one refuted Corona.

The friends of ABC have already reached a consensus on freedom and equality. Hearing what she said just now, rebuttals have become instinctive. For a while, they didn't expect to be asked such a question suddenly by her, so they were all stopped by the question.Corona took advantage of the victory and pursued, and continued in one breath:

"I don't think the difference between the two is that big. All the oppression and discrimination in the world, they are similar in essence: one group of people wants to exploit another group of people, squeeze out of wealth, and despise spiritually. It is ignoring people's inherent equal rights, ignoring individual personality, talent and soul, and pushing everything to the external environment beyond people's control-it's just that people now realize that it is unfair to define a person by wealth, but still Not realizing how unfair it is to define a person by gender.

"Why are there always more rich people and fewer poor people who become famous in history? The same question can be put on the difference between men and women. Why do people always think that there are more talented people than men and fewer women? Because those poor people and those women never No opportunity to develop their talents. Women are even more miserable in this regard, because even if they have the opportunity to discover their talents, they have few opportunities to make them truly developed and recognized. Mozart's sister had and His talent is comparable, how many people have heard of her now? Did she ever have the opportunity to display her talents, receive praise, and compose music on an equal footing with her younger brother? If a boy from a poor family is determined to make progress , He can still study hard and get into a university. But which girl can get the same education opportunity? The road to change life is only narrower for them.

"You know that I run a literacy class. I have met many smart and hard-working girls there. If a young man has the same qualities and the same eagerness to learn, then I will encourage him to go to college. I am willing to sponsor Tuition fees—but how can I say such things to those girls, those working girls? How can a school accept them? Even myself—friends, I have known you for several years as Cole Carton. You say in good conscience, am I not capable of passing the entrance exams at the University of Paris? I even saw the exam papers at Combeferre! But just because I couldn't decide my sex and was born a woman, I'm Not even qualified for the exam!"

Combeferre sighed, and lowered his head.

"Women are not inherently inferior to men. Sappho is the proof, Queen Elizabeth is the proof, Lady Roland is the proof. They just haven't been given the right opportunity. I venture to say that I know your aspirations, friends, and I believe you are eager to reduce this Inequality in society, not increase. So I ask you to cancel the ridiculous rule that women are not allowed in the back room of Moussin - there are already too many doors closed to women in the world, let's not add this one."

In fact, she knew that she was able to stand in Miao Shang's back hall at this moment, which already showed that they valued her more than that rule.She knew it, and was grateful.But for this rule, she still couldn't vomit these words.After saying this, she waited for a while, and looked around the hall to see if anyone could refute.But it could be seen that everyone was still in deep thought, and no one spoke for a while.

"That's all I have to say," she said, and sat down in the empty chair beside her.Grantaire, ignoring the atmosphere in the room, laughed out loud.

"I can't tell, your people are much crazier than your paintings," he said.

Can't tell if it's a sarcasm or a compliment.But Grantaire's nonsense has always been a lot, Corona raised her eyebrows, and accepted it calmly. "Thanks for the compliment," she said.

This slightly broke the silent atmosphere, but everyone still hesitated to speak.Corona is not surprised, she also knows that her words are undoubtedly completely in conflict with their usual concept, and changing the concept is not so easy - even if she herself, as a young girl, is growing up. I really felt this kind of oppression during the process, and it took many years and many things to completely clarify my thoughts and strengthen my beliefs.It is almost impossible for them to admit that their past ideas are completely wrong in just a moment, just relying on her words.

But she still has faith.This confidence does not come from her eloquence, but from her years of acquaintance with them, from their many discussions and debates on this point of view during these years, and from her belief that they will not flinch from the facts.So she sat there, quietly waiting.In the end, it was Combeferre who spoke first.

"I have a lot to say against you," said Combeferre, "but let me replace 'man' and 'woman' with 'rich man' and 'poor man', and I find none of them true.

"Of course, I need to point out that there is a bit of a logical error in your argument: that is, gender differences are not exactly the same as wealth differences. We know that rich people and poor people are equally human beings, biologically indistinguishable , the difference lies in the education and training of the society. But between men and women, the physiological gap is obvious. The difference in innate structure will inevitably bring about the difference between the sexes, which cannot be explained by the gap between rich and poor "You can make the poor rich and the rich poor, but you can't make a man a woman and a woman a man."

"But I don't intend to use this to refute you. Because our medicine and biology still have a lot to be developed, and with the existing science, it is not enough to fully explain where the differences between the sexes are. I It is impossible to say whether the difference is that men are stronger than women, or women are stronger than men, or that both have their own strengths, and where their strengths lie. When this field is still unknown, it is rash to conclude that one is better than the other. It's wrong to say that one side is inferior, and it's -- I have to admit -- wrong to judge someone by gender because of such an unsubstantiated assertion.

"I don't agree with everything you say, Cole—sorry, Corona. But you've convinced me. On my own behalf, I agree with the repeal of this provision and suggest another one in its place: Let us directly Make it a rule not to talk about topics that have nothing to do with revolution, freedom, progress, etc. in the back hall of Mussamp."

Then, to her surprise, it was Baare who spoke next.

"I remember that you always had trouble with this topic, and every time I said, I don't believe it—Mrs. Roland is a powerful woman, but she's the only one. You have to show me evidence before I Convinced." He shrugged, "I didn't expect the evidence to be yourself—well, then I think, even if you become a woman, it's really unfair for a person like you to be kept out of the door."

"I know Anne very well. She told me a lot about the literacy class. I believe that you are the one who knows the female workers best among us." Feuilly said, "I don't think the rest of us have the right to In front of a woman, tell her what a woman should look like."

The rest of the people did not speak, but they also nodded to express their agreement.As usual, Enjolras waited until everyone had expressed their opinions before speaking last.

"As one of the first proposers and endorsers of this provision, I am at fault. I agree to repeal this provision and add an addition as Combeferre proposed. In the future, both men and women may be introduced to join-but first, The other party must be a progressive young man who is interested in revolution." Enjolras said, drawing a conclusion for the topic of the evening.

Then he turned to Corona.

"So, as the first female member," he asked, "will you ever come to Mourshang, or Collins?"

This result was much better than the best result she had ever imagined.Corona wanted to smile, but felt her eyes burning.She blinked softly, carefully, and stared at him.

"Of course I'll come if you...you want to," she replied.

The author has something to say: In fact, it is very difficult to change the long-standing concept. This is an idealized treatment. Please bear with the author's willfulness.
