“…In The Politics of Sexuality, Millett mentions that gender relations in social situations are based on power [9]. Michel Foucault also believes power, discourse and sexuality are closely intertwined.…”

With elements of romance and entertainment, Chinese female-oriented online literature has a considerable readership and has attracted substantial social attention in recent years through film and television adaptations. Taking female-oriented original online literature as the study object, this paper analyses the gender reconstruction and the influence of the internet and commercialization therein. Foucault's theory of power is cited and the analysis is multidimensional and incorporates a specific social context. This paper finds that the awakening of female consciousness is accompanied by a gradual dismantling of gender stereotypes, but that the internet and commercialization hinders gender reconfiguration and placed female subjectivity in imperceptible danger.

“…Esta imagen representa la crítica a una sociedad que aún no concibe la violencia machista como un problema público (Gadelha y Gonçalves, 2023), ya que las raíces de la injusticia patriarcal están tan interiorizadas en la psique colectiva que es complejo detectarla «no ver el mal, no escuchar el mal y no decir el mal» (Millett, 1969;Recuero, 2015;Segato, 1998;2003;. La campaña persigue involucrar al conjunto de la ciudadanía apelando al compromiso colectivo con el fin de erradicar la misoginia arraigada en la cultura, desarticulando patrones sexistas naturalizados.…”

Introducción. Se analiza la evolución de las campañas institucionales contra la violencia machista en el Estado español en consonancia con las transformaciones sociales y las políticas públicas en materia de igualdad que se desarrollaron en este período en España. Metodología. Se procede, a través de un análisis crítico del discurso con perspectiva feminista, a examinar minuciosamente las estructuras discursivas en las que se apoyan las campañas desarrolladas por la Xunta de Galicia desde su inicio en el año 1999 hasta el año 2022, analizando el enfoque y el tratamiento que la institución utiliza en el abordaje de la violencia machista. Resultados y discusión. Visto lo anterior, se puede apreciar un incremento de las campañas institucionales a este sujeto desarrolladas en Galicia, y un proceso evolutivo en el tratamiento de la violencia machista que muestra una variabilidad temporal en su dirección, caracterizada por periodos de retroceso o involución. Conclusiones. Al final encontramos que existe una resistencia por parte de la institución en el empleo de la perspectiva de género en sus acciones al no representar la realidad de la violencia machista. La utilización de estereotipos sexistas, la cosificación de las mujeres, la justificación de los hombres agresores y la exención de responsabilidades de la sociedad, fomenta la conservación de un imaginario colectivo que culpabiliza a las mujeres de la violencia que sufren lo que se traduce en sexismo institucional y, en consecuencia, en la revictimización de dichas mujeres.

“…She also pointed out that in a patriarchal society，man is holding the power of the army, industry, technology，higher education，science，government，financial, etc. 3 Male dominance has been long time legitimated in law and custom in current society. However, the gender division of labor is different; politics and leadership have been viewed as a natural sphere for men.…”

The study of women leaders in Southeast Asia

In a patriarchal society, the subjection of women to men is a universal custom, so any departure from it appears unnatural. However, since the very early time in Southeast Asia, females enjoyed a relatively high status and independence. They also took important roles no matter in the family or the society. As a result, there were many outstanding women leaders and elite women throughout history. However, the concept of patriarchy still affects Southeast Asia society. It is more common for a man to hold the position of leader in society. This article studied female leaders of Southeast Asia during the contemporary period to find out factors that supported them to the leading status in their societies, namely Corazon Aquino, the first female to ascend to the presidency in the Philippines’ history, Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratic advocate against the Junta in Myanmar, and Megawati Sukarnoputri, the first female president in Indonesia. It is interesting to find that family ties play a crucial role in their way to politics. Then the common thing which all these three women leaders got is gender symbolism. All of them were described by their supporters as “mother” or “ saint” to emphasize their characteristic of purity, mercy, and far away from corruption to contrast with the cheating and lying male leaders. It is also interesting to find that support from religious organizations seems not a vital factor for women leaders.
