The "feminist movement" is basically the 21st-century proletarian revolution. Although it inevitably shifts from progressivism to populism, it represents a certain group's determination to resist oppression and exploitation.

It reflects a dramatic change in the production relations of the era, stemming from the great development of productive forces, but also declining due to stagnation. In between, there was a rise of extreme left populism, and even the emergence of "sugar baby literature" as a form of right-leaning opportunism.

However, true power comes from building a new distribution order. The saying goes, "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"; merely having the discourse power without controlling the means of production isn't enough. Thinking about returning to a past distribution order reliant on coercion is also not viable when revolutionary success seems hopeless.

Whether it's today's popular individualism or the collective traditions of the past, any era that aims to establish a stable power structure must bear corresponding responsibilities, meaning rights and duties must be balanced. Thus, we need to wait for the transformation of production relations.
