[WIFE - ABDUCTING] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phrase \"bride kidnapping\" is a cultural practice that may not be unfamiliar to us, as it frequently appears in works discussing traditional customs of remote ethnic groups. However, whether \"bride kidnaping\" is right or wrong is subjective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[POLYGAMY] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did the tradition of polygamy cause women in the past to continuously live in abandonment, to live in a loveless world? Let's travel back in time with VFSA to see how polygamy had affected women at the time and why it was a great mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[MATRIARCHY]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matriarchy has imprinted the timeless image of Vietnamese women in human\u2019s consciousness albeit many ups and downs in centuries. Perchance, these milestones are the precedence of literature works that honor women with deepest adoration? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[FEMINISM THROUGH CULTURAL LENS]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feminism is not a rivalry with men, or a promotion of misandry, rather, it is letting women break free from the stereotypes that society and even themselves have associated women with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[SELLING GASOLINE TO WOMEN IS A CRIME?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In South Korea, the term \u201cKim Yeo-sa,\u201d also known as \u201cMadam Kim,\u201d is often used to refer to women participating in traffic\u2014particularly female drivers\u2014as a way of implying that their driving skills are inferior or slower than those of men.\nSimilarly, in Vietnam, a common joking remark when seeing women driving is \u201cDon\u2019t let women take the wheel.\u201d Why is it that women encounter so many stereotypes and barriers in what should be considered an entirely ordinary activity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[WOMEN AND \u00c1O D\u00c0I - HONORING OR CONSTRAINING?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the incident in Marie Curie High School (District 3, H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh City) calculated training points based on gender in its \u00e1o d\u00e0i synchronized performance has sparked controversy across social media. Specifically, according to the school\u2019s announcement, the event was compulsory for all female students to take part in the performance; otherwise, 0.5 points would be deducted from their training point. However, for male students, contribution is voluntary and 0.5 points will be granted upon participation. This incident has raised a question: Is women\u2019s wearing \u00e1o d\u00e0i an act of honor or an act of coercion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[FEMININITY, MASCULINITY \u2014 OR A NEW GENDER BIAS?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, besides continuing efforts to address gender inequality and gender prejudice, we are witnessing social media platforms being swamped with old, yet newly framed concepts: \u201cfemininity\u201d and \u201cmasculinity\u201d. At first glance, these terms may represent the archetypal characteristics between each gender. Yet, at a closer look, this reintroduction is not truly an advancement in gender awareness, but outdated prejudices in disguise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[ARE WE LIVING IN A MISOGYNISTIC SOCIETY?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our path towards an era where women boldly assert their presence, would there still be words of disparagement waiting silently for the chance to strike and suppress our voice? Before anything, recognising the problem should be the foundation, the first step, for each of us \u2013 women who truly understand themselves \u2013 to break the invisible chains eager to strangle us at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[THE CHANGE IN LANGUAGE FOR GENDER EQUALITY: FROM PREJUDICE TO PROGRESS]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Language has always been the most common tool of communication among humans. However, few people realize that beyond its function of communication and exchange, language also reflects our thinking and shapes our perception of reality. Over hundreds of years of existence and development, closely tied to the gender equality movement and the dismantling of gender stereotypes, language has gradually been adjusted to move toward greater social equity. Let\u2019s explore this issue in more depth with VFSA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[WHAT MAKES A LIFE WORTH LIVING FOR A WOMAN?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, women were imprisoned by the weight of social prejudice. However, now they are living in a more open society, stepping out of their \u201cshell\u201d to pursue their own paths and thrive. At first, it might sound good and inspiring, but do societies perceive that it is themselves who mock their own idea of gender equality by molding women into phrases such as \u201csuccessful\u201d and \u201cindependent\u201d?

If before, beauty standards were often shaped to meet the expectations of traditional society, the 2020s have witnessed a remarkable conceptual shift. Under the influence of TikTok algorithms and AI, beauty has mutated from social pressure into a \u201ccultural obligation\u201d in the name of self-love. We cast off makeup in search of freedom, only to fall into the chains of a \u201cstandardized bare face\u201d \u2014 an endless project of bodily optimization. Is this autonomy, or merely a more subtle dependence on expensive beauty bills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
