And then people ask what is feminism for...
as long as its intersectional!!
AMEN!!!
In this case, the real problem was clashing visions of married life: the discrimination wasn't at the job: she was promoted as the youngest,etc. Her coworkers had great respect for her.
The problem is she married a man whose mindset and expectations were very different (opposite) of hers. The problem here was communication. Neither of them were clear on what they wanted from marriage. Disaster was inevitable when two visions clash. He's an asshole, though. A violent one. Screw him.
The feminist aspect is judging women's worth on age or appearance--which we still do. But then we judge men's worth on success at business or height vs lack of or handsomeness. Problem is the stress of beauty/youth is much higher on women. Even just looking at tv news or award shows: men get to be clothed neck to feet sensibly and women parade in the skimpiest shit you ever saw as if they hadn't finished dressing. Or anchorwomen are in tight short dresses and 4 inch heels while men are in flat shoes and suits. The expectation that women have to look hot and young to be given job rewards is sadly still too real.
But here, the woman married the wrong man and the man married the wrong woman.
These things need to be cleared up BEFORE they get engaged. I know I did. I was very clear with my husband and he with me what we expected out of marriage, what we did not want, wanted, would not do, would do, and so forth. Marriage has to be treated more seriously than entering into a partnership to start a company: goals, resources, expectations of job positions, etc. Or there will be sharp surprises when they are at variance.
He needed to marry a woman who wanted to be a stay-at-hom wife, mother, and keep her looks up (and there are women happy to fit that role).
She needed to stay single or marry a man ready to accept her ambitions and put off having kids (or not have them), one ready to support her desire to excel as a perfumer. There are men happy to do so. :D
I agree with your points. There's always two sides to a coin.
I've read many manhwas, mangas, manhuas, and many of them have I considered great, but I have to say, this, as my first BL comic will always be the greatest.
I'm in love with this rn...
