Chapter 766 "Femininity"?
Qin Jue lowered his eyes and thought deeply. After a while, she showed a subtle smile and turned to look at Qin Yuqiao.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yuqiao asked gently.
She wasn't wearing soundproof headphones now, so she could hear her sister's heartbeat dulling twice.
This usually means that Qin Jue is in a complicated mood.
"Ha. Nothing."
The smile on Qin Jue's face was still very subtle, "I'm thinking about whether I should review myself."
"Just after I heard what you said just now, the first thought in my mind was...am I going to be 'feminine' too?"
Qin Jue shrugged after speaking: "Then I think this idea is too gender stereotyped. After all, both men and women have the right to pursue beauty. There are also men in this world who are exquisitely dressed..."
“However, I still inevitably directly link the elements of ‘being familiar with makeup, knowing how to dress, and studying accessories, bags and shoes’ with ‘femininity’.”
She said she felt uncomfortable and clicked her tongue.
Qin Yuqiao always listened to her explanation quietly without interrupting.
Qin Jue turned his head to face the eyes that were looking at him seriously. His indescribable mood warmed up a little, and he showed a sincere smile again.
"It's okay." Qin Yuqiao took one of her hands, "The so-called 'masculinity' and 'femininity' are originally defined by society. The education we receive and the cognition we form Of course it will be affected by this.”
"The truth is this. When I realize this, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
Qin Jue smiled and shook his head.
She had read "The Second Sex" written by Simone Beauvoir very early. Many of her views were consistent with the author's. She believed that "male" and "female" were determined based on physiological characteristics, and "male" and "female" were "Female" or "man" or "woman" is an acquired concept, and this concept has full social influence in the process of formation.
But there are limitations to human thinking when applied to real life, especially since she has been living as a man since she can remember, so things like that just happened unconsciously.
However, there was one thing that Qin Jue did occasionally think deeply about these days.
"Do you still remember my impromptu cross-gender performance in the pilot film of "Whose Detective"?" she asked Qin Yuqiao.
"Yes." Qin Yuqiao nodded slightly, still holding her hand, "What's the matter?"
"When I went back and reviewed the performance, I realized... that performance was too stereotyped."
Qin Jue frowned slightly, "I have no experience walking in society as a woman. All performance materials come from film and television works, daily observations and my own imagination."
"Under such circumstances, I can only perform a 'standard woman'.
“The figure is graceful, the speech is sharp, a little emotional, and in comparison, he is more prone to fear and fear...etc.
"Looking at that improvisation objectively now, I just feel that my performance was terrible."
Passers-by, audience members and friends were full of praise for Qin Feng's transgender performance. They all thought it was very eye-catching and even caused an uncanny valley effect. However, Qin Jue knew very well that from their perspective, he was an actor. , and an actor who can achieve this level is naturally worthy of praise, just like the actress's wonderful counter-parting, it is an excellent breakthrough.
But in fact, she herself is a woman. When a woman can't play a woman well, she always feels that something is strange, like giving a question but not doing it right, which hurts her self-esteem.
Qin Jue lay slumped on the carpet and babbled these thoughts to the little fox.
Qin Yuqiao smiled and kissed her.
"I understand. Well, I think it's still the same sentence. Since my sister also knows that she has been required and self-required according to the standards of men for a long time, then it's okay that she won't be able to act as a 'lively and three-dimensional woman' for a while. It’s normal, just take it slow and don’t be too hard on yourself.”
Qin Yuqiao thought for a moment and then said, "But in my sister's opinion, what is a woman?"
"Um----"
Qin Jue drawled a long tone.
"I personally tend to ignore gender when looking at issues. Aren't both men and women human beings? Women are naturally people with female biological characteristics.
"But judging from this stereotype that is hard to get rid of in my mind... I still think that women like you, A Ran, Liya, etc. are the 'common or standard' women."
She and Qin Yuqiao were face to face, and she saw her helpless, self-deprecating and distressed look in those amber eyes.
"How about more details?" Qin Yuqiao asked.
"detailed?"
Qin Jue tilted his head back and squinted at the wall.
"The body curves are different from those of men. They are delicate in mind, more emotional, easier to empathize, and better at expressing emotions directly. They can freely express intimate emotions such as dependence and coquettishness. Occasionally, they can be fragile and timid. Of course, there are also strong parts. , can do things bravely and firmly... like this? "
"Pfft." Qin Yuqiao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Most of these descriptions are also about you, sister. What is the difference between you and us 'girls in the standard sense'?"
"Huh?" Qin Jue raised his eyes in surprise.
She said "uh--" for a while, feeling that she couldn't refute, so she added:
"That may be more of a difference in appearance."
After a pause, Qin Jue said: "For example, um, you all wear small skirts, they are all fragrant and soft?...Why do you think what I said is like sexual harassment?"
Qin Yuqiao smiled so hard that his cheeks turned red, and he went over to hug his sister.
"There's no such thing as sexual harassment. Girls can brag to each other as much as they want!"
Qin Jue was hugged, his body was very honest, he squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to hug back:
"Look, just like now, I will sigh that this is the warm and fragrant soft jade in my arms that the ancients said -"
"So what? It's not like only men can sigh like this."
Qin Yuqiao smiled brightly, "When my sister and I post stickers, we also secretly rejoice in our hearts. For example, right now, I just think about things like 'sister is so comfortable to hold' and 'sister is so handsome'~"
Qin Jue said with a smile: "Is that so?"
"Yeah. Because it makes me happy to have physical contact with the people I like and the people I'm close to."
Qin Yuqiao tilted his head, "As for the fragrant and soft ones, take them apart and look at them. One is the smell of perfume, body fragrance, or shower gel and shampoo, and the other is probably due to physical reasons. In this regard, my sister should be better than I know better."
"Huh? That's true..."
Qin Jue was stunned when he heard this.
After all, if you deconstruct these "common girl characteristics", you will find that they are just a common phenomenon. If a boy pays great attention to personal hygiene and image management, and happens to not exercise much, and is thin and has low muscle content, the result will be It can also be described as "fragrant and soft".
It's just that in comparison, there are more women among people with these characteristics. The relationship between the two is that of inclusion and being included, and they are not completely equivalent.
"Hey, it's true."
Qin Jue, who figured this out, complained to himself, "This is commonly known as 'I understand all the principles, but sometimes I still can't bend them'."
Looking at it this way, there is actually nothing wrong with Tao Jing, played by Qin Feng, but Qin Jue trapped herself under the banner of "breaking out of stereotypes" when she was introspecting herself.
