心向快乐第一季

Yes, I titled my review by using Jeanette Winterson’s biography for reference. It is true if you look it up in Douban, a Chinese version IMDB/Facebook, Feel Good will in the recommendation list as the searching result. In this website, people retitle this show as ‘Drunk in London’. It is accurate to use Drunk to describe the main character Mae Martin’s life predicament. She wants to get on the right path but couldn't help making a mess, she tries to be normal but cannot get rid of the psychological hint that ‘You need to accept you have a problem’, she wants to build up a stable intimate relationship but loses control due to emotional insecurity. But I still prefer the original title ‘Feel good’. It is hard to be normal in this high-demand world, feeling good is enough.

The encounter

After watching the series in one sitting, I can safely say Mae Martin is the second gay girl character I feel myself fall in love with after Anne Lister in Gentleman Jack. (Sorry, Suranne!) She is a special friend being with me in this strange self-isolation period. Can I call it love in the time of cholera? I couldn’t help replaying the scene Mae and George encountering and kissing in the pub. How romantic it is when you find someone in the crowd only laughing at your stuff, getting your point while you’re being ignored by others. England’s rose and the Canadian corn are like a blazing fire and dry wood. It is not all about how a tomboy chase a straight girl and how a straight girl seduce an unconfident lesbian. This is a vibrant start that I bet each girl is longing for. You might have a relatable journey that you are falling for a person who is not of the same clan but you think the fate drops from the clouds and the refreshing relationship will be working between you two. After oversharing with a stranger, you believe you have a bond and that’s hard to find in life.

Things usually happen like that, but most beautiful encounters will not end in well. Five minutes past, Mae and George are standing inside and outside the curtain, which implies George is stepping into her life and will be a part of her story. In fact, it does. This is the most subtle camera structure in EP1. It reminds me of how I met my exes, how we consume each other and how I lost them in the end. I suddenly realise I see my own reflection in Mae’s pupils when she says ‘I am not intense’.

Between normal and abnormal

It is rather to say Feel Good is a dark story than rom-com. At least, let’s say it is a heart-breaking life story dress like a love story. Mae Martin's tribulations she experienced in her career, family, and relationships are the main topics of the show. Before that, I’ve had enough of messy ‘permutation and combination’ style relationships in The L Word. Hetero audience hunt for novelty in LGBT TV drama but ignore character’s daily concerns as ordinary persons. They also have issues of how to repair the parent-child relationship, how to express who they really are in front of their friend who is always in the dominant position. Feel good has a unique texture with life-like characters. Each character in this show is so real. Their witty dialogues tickle my fancy all the time.

I can feel the director and the writer manage to keep up a high level of real emotions throughout the show and they capture characters’ dazzling personalities with a brisk pace. In this story, Mae and George are both like premature babies in the incubates, waiting for growth to be big, confident flowers. The director did not portray them as aliens but show strong empathy to care their own inner development. We witness their journeys in pain and sober.

My inner journey of watching "Feel Good" is like a roller-coaster.

E1: Oh!!! Mae and George are just adorable!

E2: Well...I changed my mind. I'd better stand for Mae and Lava?

E3: It is a bloody embodiment of "Please never date a straight girl unless you want to date for floods of tears."

Mae is an authentic, awkward, blunt, needy, sensitive girl with forlorn hope on George’s love. In her whole life, she has felt she is not in the right place. There is ‘other place’ she supposes to be. She thinks people are just swapping one addiction for another, while George is her another addiction. My favourite scene is in the EP3. Mae feels humiliated and a bit angry when being told to enjoy the party. Her confession broke my heart for real.

‘You grew up rich and white and straight and hot, you won the lottery. Of course, you want to dance. You're surrounded by people that want to fuck you. Of course, I don't want to dance in front of people that would have bullied me in high school. And you are too ashamed to touch me. If you want me to feel confident then hold my hand.’

It is not a gay thing. Any underrepresented people could relate to it. There used to be a moment you thought someone in the crowd could see you, but now you found this person knew nothing about your feelings. You notice the intangible huge gap between you. That really hurts.

As the representative of straight girl, Binky holds the opinion that ‘birds of a feather flock together’ by bring Mae and her lesbian cousin together. It is like saying ‘Hey gay girl should stay in your small bubble. That is the norm.’ You all know the hilarious result. Two girls hi each other and ‘see you’ soon. I laughed at this stuff not because there is less possibility for two Tomboys to fall in love with each other (on the contrary, they may slag off each other), but shocked by people’ ignorance that they think a lesbian will definitely like another lesbian since your are of the same kind. Come on. We are all human beings having clear love and hate. The gentle satire to some self-righteous people is one of the highlighted moments in this show. Sorry, your norm is ridiculous.

People distorts the definitions of ‘normal’ and fasten it to the minority. I became to realise the reason why the writer did not let Mae choose Lava, another lesbian girl who’s crush on her, even though a lot of my friends stand for them. ‘If you were my girlfriend, I’d make you come in under a minute.’ is the coolest line in this show. Lava is cold but affectionate in her own way. The writer probably wants to break the stereotype that it is easier to love your own kind. I think Mae must bottle a hidden line up: Hey, I cannot love you just because you are lesbian too.

Reframe your self

After watching it a second time, I changed my impression of George. I shouldn’t have been so mean to her when I watched the first time last week. This time, I see her struggling in her new identity. She hurries so much to put lesbian label on herself by saying ‘I have a girlfriend’ to the wedding photographer and ‘I belong to here. I finger my girlfriend a lot’ to the bartender, in order to cover up her inner uncertainty. ‘Your sobriety. Your gender identity. Is there anything isn’t my responsibility?’ She is facing the greatest pressure in her life. Being with Mae is like pulling up seedlings in her mind to help herself grow, in friendship, and in the workplace. But actually, the key point is not about learning how to be a lesbian. Instead, she needs to learn how to express a real herself, uncover her real feelings to the people surrounded, just like Binky says ‘If you are bothered, just tell us.’

There is another storyline of Mae’s narcotics anonymous meeting. This kind of support group is quite common to see in British/American dramas, like Killing Eve and Flack. As a student with a coaching background, I feel negatively surprised to see team members sitting in a circle and saying ‘I am an addict’ followed by self-introduction. Is it really work to settle a matter by giving themselves psychological suggestion that they still have problems? Or they just gather to find I am not the worst one. In EP 4, Lisa Kudrow hits the nail on the head. Everyone feel better or you feel better when people address the elephant in the room? Every time when Mae suffers a setback in relationship with George, she turns to Maggie and Lava. However, the temporary sense of belonging is self-deception.

Like her mother, Mae is a strong, impulsive, stubborn women. But she also has the vulnerable side.

‘But you told me you loved me first. That was the best moment of my life. I’m embarrassed. I let myself think that someone like you could be with someone like me. I’m not a boy. I’m not even a girl. I’m like a failed version of both. Why am I such a freak?’

She has so many feelings. What she wants is being accepted as what she is, being stick with a new healthy addiction. That is George.

In the last episode in season 1, Mae decides to return to George. The plot seems to quite rush. I wouldn’t say they are the perfect couple and I still doubt the relationship will last. But I would like to regard them as a pair of ‘learning buddy’ in this journey. George is the still and quiet habitat and Mae is the Pac-Man. Story is over. Life needs to go on. They both have too much to learn, not only for love but for lives.

Alien they seem to be. No mortal eye could see. The intimate welding of their history. by Thomas Hardy

Other things I want to address

Besides main characters, each supporting role is so lovely: Phil, Binky, Mae’s father, the bartender, and the bellboy in horror hotel. I love the script! I am especially impressed by Mae’s father. He has the wisdom of affairs handling and can read people’s mind accurately.

"You are still and strong, you wear your heart on your sleeves, you are fiercely passionate."

‘Your young lady must be needing you now. She’s off on her own, adrift in uncharted seas.’

He is absolutely one of the best father roles I’ve ever seen.

Now I can say I am ready to graduate from Feel Good after finishing this review. Thank you, Lisa, you remind me of the scotch egg I’ve had in Yorkshire. I am glad you enjoy it too. I will probably visit Blackpool to see the beautiful sunset one day. See you guys in season 2!

深夜刷完了6集，希望有第二季，分别表达一下我对两个主角的看法（如标题）

George

George的主要性格特点是不轻易表露自己的心迹，比较内向的一个人。这一点也导致她在身份认同上不是那么快。这个女主的直女变弯心路历程很真实，她因为爱而成长，主要有两个转折点，第一个是摔伤后让朋友call corn（也是全剧最甜的点哈哈）然后在医院里表露心迹，其实前面也有伏笔就是她参加完婚礼回家想象着对mae说 love you，marry with her。而在喝多受伤进医院打了吗啡之后，则第一次表达出了自己的想法，对于一个直女了那么多年的人来说真的很不容易。第二个转折点我认为是在教室对着喊别人基佬的女生大声呵斥并冲到校长办公室说应该教学生lgbt相关知识，此时她已经逐步认同自己喜欢女生所以才会注意到基佬这个词对gay来说有多么冒犯（这在以前在她潜意识里大约是不会引起强烈反感的现象），她在学着认同自己也在找寻什么是真正的朋友，开始学着表达走出自己的舒适区，六集下来George有很大的成长，她试着去体贴mae，甚至最后坦诚说要一起承担包袱（当然开始出现单方面的包容，这会让对方愈发觉得自己是一个victim，这是一个隐患，如果有第二季这样的心态会出问题）

Mae

有两条线，一条和父母的，一条和女友。两条线都体现了mae是一个内心脆弱敏感不肯承担责任且总是以受害者自居的人。

首先是父母线，中间有一段是父亲对mae说在把mae赶出家门后，母亲天天跟着看mae，我看到这个觉得可能是一个母女缓和的关键点，但似乎mae一直一直介意自己被抛弃，依旧没有安全感，道歉也只是为了获得对方的关注与爱，并不是发自内心的真诚，正如她开头说：这是第十二条中的第九步。偏偏母亲是个倔强的人，对方越是强调自己的受害者身份，mae妈越是倔，于是在父母线上的和解尝试是非常失败的。不过最后一集mae哭着说想回家时，母亲还是心软了，毕竟是亲妈，但这其实不是真正意义上的和解。但不可否认的是，没有人是天生的瘾君子，小时候到底发生了什么导致mae会这样未可知。但25岁的成年人真的不要一直强调说对方的抛弃，如果真的不要了怎么可能随时同意和你打视频电话（狗头）。

女友线，看了有点生气，在一起这段感情中很明显George其实有更多的付出，mae一直都没想过要改变自己重塑自己，让自己忙起来独立起来，一开始的粘人和急着寻求对方在朋友面前介绍自己以获得安全感并一次次以爱之名半胁迫，完全不顾对方也只是一个刚被掰弯自己心理建设都没有做全的自己的爱人，后来身份被承认之后又被迫害妄想症觉得对方理想的是男生并自己逼迫自己往那边靠拢，却始终不敢坦诚地与对方就这一方面进行交流，可能一开始看了会觉得mae很可怜，焦虑得睡不着觉，自卑不自信，但自信是自己给的，交了那么多女朋友首先要对自己有身份认同，我是女生我喜欢女生，对方喜欢我是我这个人不管男女，不是因为男性特质也不是因为女性特质，自己就是自己。然后就去爱对方，如果对方最后真的选择男性了，那就是对方的问题，而我（mae）有真诚地去爱你，展露真实的自我，那你不喜欢我我难过但也没办法，恋爱中忌讳的就是很多过度的焦虑破坏了爱情本身的美好，然后分手后又陷入自卑之中无法自拔。恶性循环。和男性相比之后的自卑其实在很多t的心里都会有，但请相信如果你的爱人是真的爱你，你不要被这个所桎梏，你就是真诚地去照顾对方表达自己的爱，这样才是一个良性循环。而且在剧中很明显的一点是，mae因为自己的自卑其实把对方也带入了消极，正如最后George把这形容为包袱就可以体现。自己的自卑自己无法处理还要对方的包容理解来哄着你，自己被分手消极还和别人make love。真的幼稚！

爱得真诚坦荡，不要伤害自己深爱的人。

不算快，断断续续两天刷完吧。看的时候内心真的有太多太多的想法、声音还有共鸣了…总感觉片子就好像我自己的人生，感受到很多，在自我探索中的问题，与直女恋爱中的问题等等…

其实片子本本身确实也有可圈可点的地方，想很多短评也暴露出了每个人看这个片子的角度和侧重点，包括这当然也受个人经历的影响。

先从我觉得不足的地方着手，确实比起我以往看的很多les电影来说，比起那些，这部更加现实和现在，可能电影只有两个小时，所以不论《Blue is…color》（很多人也提到）或者最近看的《烧女图》，电影总是试图在两个小时把情感表达的最浓烈，剧情的曲折和复杂度也并不会这么高。也是因为这样的对比，所以总让我觉得Mae和G之间的感情不够浓烈。（但也可能是演员的问题也未可知）。

片子选了一条主线或者topic，就是所谓t（gay）与直女之间的爱情。在这很想提一下，其实很多人都并不想定义自己的取向，就像我自己，这也是我很有共鸣的一点，就像J在厕所里问Mae，你是lesbian吗？Mae说“我不想label myself”，这一点我就很有共鸣，我相信取向是流动性的，我看起来像tomboy就不代表我一定是gay，这便是一个探索自己的过程，限制住自己反而会让自己更struggle。

所以另外一个地方，这部片子在对于性取向的探索上也让我很有共鸣。我既有过G对于自己是否是gay而困扰，又很能理解Lava和Mae说，不要把时间花在不是你圈子不了解你的人身上。确实，直女在姬圈中就是一个非常棘手的存在。或者也如我所说，“并没有真正的直女，所谓直女是还没有找到能触动她的那个女孩。”

作为t不代表就不能女孩了。我太能理解Mae对与自己gender “in between”的那种感受了。“我既不是男孩，也算不上女孩，我就是freak”，这是很多queer可能都会有活动心理活动，总觉得自己的gender不能融入这个社会，以及这个社会对性别的定义，于是觉得自己是不被爱和奇怪的。但其实不是，我们，queer，要做到只是我们自己。

我对于这种小t 有点小撒娇太喜欢了。我真的很喜欢这种物理上的错觉，看起很帅气的女孩，但其实也有女孩的一面，内心的敏感，想要come的渴望，想被拥抱和爱，而且可0可1。我很欣赏Mae也是因为，她总是很平和（至少看起来），可能面瘫？哈哈哈哈。

我并不太想把它当成浪漫爱情片看，比起浪漫理想式爱情，这部更多的在反映，每一对les情侣，或多或少都会有过的、出现的问题。尤其是当她俩闹分手那一段，其实就很能看出问题。我太能理解，包括我自己也有过这种心理活动，和一个“直女”或曾有过男朋友的女生在一起，其实内心或多或少会有一种不满足，和差距就在于，自己不是男生，给不了一段“正常”婚姻或未来，该有的样子。我们也希望和自己爱的女人，可以相爱，making love，jizzing，and have a baby，但是我们不可以，因为我们不是男人。

但退一步，如果我们要这么想，那便又是把自己局限住了…

在她俩分手以前那一次sex，也是里面对我最有感觉的一段…当G感觉快要come的时候对Mae说“come inside me…”，其实这几句真的很伤人，也很戳，正中下怀的感觉。Mae的回复也真的太精准了：“ I would love to，but I physically can't！” 这正是我们所缺失，但也是最大的不同。 It reminds me of me and my ex, I am obsessed with making love with her, but the only thing missing is that I really hope I can go inside her, and either she, when we were high. That is supposed to be a “normal” sex....

我也很赞同这是一部关于诚实的影片，不论在爱情、工作、生活中，其实我们都要保持诚实，才能让双方顺利的沟通。

每次Mae和G有争吵的时候，两边说的话其实都很有道理。（争吵的台词写的很tricky）各有各的理，只是有没有站在对方的角度考虑。比如在party上，G想和朋友们出柜，就希望Mae不要老盯着她，自己去跳舞，但Mae觉得，你如果要出柜那就大大方方牵着我的手帮我化解尴尬啊。其实两方都没有错，但两边必须相互理解。包括G和Binky后来的谈话，G埋冤B他们在她分手后不来问候，B觉得如果你是真的伤心那就主动来和我们说啊，你不和我们说就好像不是真爱一样。其实两边也都在理，看谁能先理解谁。聪明人就不要去纠结了。

至于说t粘人的，可能是每个人经历不同，我觉得这种依赖挺顺理成章的，作为一个父母那么刻薄的t，包括小时候有过那么多创伤，能到现在这样温柔可爱善解人意，真的是奇迹了，当然不可避免，她真的需要一个人依靠和拥抱。

感受就写到这，HE我很满意，当然如果拍第二季，未来可能还会有更多的问题冒出来。也期待第二季，更期待自己能有个女朋友，好想谈恋爱啊啊💕💕

btw，还想再提一下，Mae在里面真的是赚大了🙃各种人都亲了一遍，见谁就问“do u wanna have sex...”哈哈哈哈哈。而且每次还一脸面瘫的“that will be so cool.”太可了哈哈哈哈。

还有对于那个老师说，“如果你不教孩子们LGBTQIA这方面的话题那是你的问题，这是sexual health课程…你们班还有两个学生是trans呢！”真的很暖心，为学校有这样的开明的眼光感到开心。

End…

2020.4.6

In USA

最近的下饭剧从压抑的纪录片换成了《feel good》（不要被《心向快乐》这个傻白甜译名骗了），

大概25分钟一集的时长正好吃个饭能看完。

看第一集尤为畅快欢乐，

女主叫Mae，是个T，在酒吧说单口喜剧（脱口秀）。

女二George坐在台下get到了她的每一个笑点，然后主动在表演结束后去找了Mae。

喝酒的时候两个人还玩起了常见的喝酒游戏：

一方提问另一方回答，撒谎或者回答慢了就要喝酒，喝完提问角色互换。（我跟朋友玩的时候规则是这样的剧集里应该也差不多）

Mae开始提问，

-“你几岁？”

-“when did you lose your virginity?”

-“你最喜欢的电影是什么？”

然后轮到了George，

-“你来英国多久了？”

-“披头士里你最喜欢谁？”

-“Are we on a date?”

——我们在约会吗？

气氛开始诡异起来。

Mae开始结巴，

幸好她朋友走过来说了一番话，临走前说，

“enjoy your date.”

Mae顺着话说，“他说我们算在约会那就应该是吧。”

George说，“我以前从来没有和女孩子约过会。”

Mae问，“那你和女孩子接吻过吗？”

George说，“当然。”

气氛彻底变得暧昧，以尴尬的形式表现出来，

两个人都低头喝了一口酒。

在Mae抬头继续提问“你喜欢电影吗？”的时候

George的一句“你想吻我吗？”打断了掩饰两人心绪的游戏。

然后她们接吻了，Mae大脑中的盲音响起，

背景里酒吧的条状霓虹灯宛如电压不稳忽暗忽明。

看的时候我心里的想法是

这不是典型的crush吗？完全可以投稿到“我今天遇到了一个crush”小组的程度。

然而这只是第一集，

甚至在第一集还没结束的时候问题就展露出了残酷的冰山一角。

接下来陆陆续续涉及到LGBT/addict/原生家庭各种细碎不足为外人道的烦扰：

George作为侄女不想向朋友公开她和Mae的关系，

Mae做为addict（自称已经戒了）却偷偷藏了止痛药，

还有Mae十多年被赶出家门和表面看上去和谐无比的原生家庭倒刺般扎在心里的问题。

大家都爱看crush，热烈甜美如烈火烹油，

初遇时候对方展露出来的闪闪发光之处令人着迷，

而关系变成恋爱之后总有各种各样的烦恼，

更不要说组成家庭、养育子女等后续缠缠绵绵无绝期的鸡毛蒜皮了。

剧集也不会只有第一集前半部分光鲜漂亮的热恋环节，

毕竟是改编Mae的现实经历拍出来的，

重点完全放到了烦恼和解决烦恼上。

正如《亲爱的小孩》被批恐婚恐育，

而最令人恐惧的地方是这就是真实故事改编的，

这就是所有被社会教导毫不知情地轻易踏上婚姻这一条暗藏荆棘之路的女生被一带而过的那部分。

虽然每个人都在经历自己现实的烦扰，

喜欢看crush这种拥有完美甜味的故事也情有可原，

但正因为如此，这些聚焦现实的剧集才值得一看。

毕竟我们说到底还活在现实里，

我想或多或少心思细腻的人都会对此产生一丝共鸣。

This is fucking good😭😭😭第四集之前：I fucking love Mae Martin yet this drama is a little bit normal第四集之后：Fucking awesome plot😭😭😭Mae Martin is super genius😭😭😭

I feel like I'm full of birds.

典型的英式喜剧，好多那种冷笑话哈哈哈哈哈，而且除去主角之外人物有为剧情发展和气氛需要脸谱化的嫌疑。George真的很美美得像戴安娜王妃。Mae Martin…我发现我只是喜欢小奶狗而已性别什么的无所谓，所以我原来是无性恋吗（误）看到做爱部分会感觉都是女孩子的话会让我容易习惯很多很多…可能也是对lesbian群体本身不了解不过我不想管那么多

剧本真的很好很好。感觉能体会到日常人与人之间交往的那种真诚与温暖感觉。情感很细腻，但感觉铺陈有时候不到位，也可能我本人不够敏感。剧里的话还是美化过的现实…首先addict被编进去本身就是对taking drugs的一种美化…cant help doing something while knowing that it will bring some negative consequences hhhh但是很多琐碎的碎片化现实又fucking real and fucking touching，Mae和George最后对话还有以前其他的对话里面那些词不达意欲言又止还有反复的sorry, I just... 都好London好生活…我们都一样啊。

You are being loved. 那里真的眼眶湿润了。not an island... 人与人之间的联系真的是拯救一个人的根本吗。

md这部里面的感情真的都好他妈流畅啊。

就是在考试周看然后看第一集的时候：这能拍六集？看完第六集的时候：怎么只有六集该不会我还要等第二季吧。看到还有第二季的时候：希望我能先紧着复习😭

差点忘了夸导演！色调真的超级超级棒啊，好多镜头都很漂亮，镜头下的人也无比好看。调色和色彩搭配都太好了…视角也很棒。

看看这个镜头多绝美！

这个剧后劲太大了，虽然每集只有短小精悍的25分钟，整季只有6集，但在这样的限制下也难以掩饰mae martin的过人才华。整体节奏过快，还没等观众进入情绪就已经切入到下一个情景也许是一大短板，但同样，全剧没有一句台词是废话，快节奏也带来了强大的情绪冲击力。

ep4开头，George和mae说自己曾非常迷恋Arnie Rivers，觉得他很帅很高，mae黯然神伤。但当mae在酒吧和Arnie见面并见识到他的“男性魅力”之后也“化身迷妹”，开始模仿Arnie的一系列举动。比如，不知从哪里突然手中闪现信用卡，并帅气地主动要求替餐厅偶遇的一家人买单。（但信用卡被拒，最后还是George买了单，装b失败）

之后M问G，如果两人将来分手，以后的约会对象会选择男还是女。G回答大概是男人吧。M没说什么，但她纠结下服用了在医院偷拿的镇定剂，以及这之后的镜头中表达出的M始终无法接受自己的身体，无论是乳房还是女性曲线，她试着穿女士吊带裙并端详镜中的自己，但在G回家时却立刻关上房门并换上了难以分辨体型的T恤，这些种种都表明了M对于自身性别认知的纠结。因为G在遇见M以前的约会对象都是男性，并且一直以来都是“直的”欣赏带有浓烈男性特征的人，这就让M更加焦虑，一方面她想成为G心中完美情人的样子(high school boyfriend, simple, kind, full of sperm)，而另一方面M的女性身体结构限制了这种努力。

在后来的剧情中M带上dildo和G做爱，G无意识的说了一句“i want you to cum inside me”，这句话也许就成了两人后来breakup的导火索。在一直是异性恋的意识形态的G眼中，这只是一句ml时增强气氛的调情。可M却不这么想，因为她无法做到射精这一行为，而正因如此仿佛之前所做的一些努力都白费了一样，她努力使自己更像男人，变成G偏爱的样子（culturally straight），但其实内心深处她并不认可这些masculine做派（参照ep6中M对于Kevin的态度）。就像她对自身的评价那样“i think i'm a transgender, or non-binary... ”即她既不是一个“合格的”女孩，也永远无法成为一个男孩，是夹在中间的，带有尴尬色彩的，模糊的性别。

“i want you to cum inside me”这句话是否带有性挑逗意味是很值得思考的。异性间带有繁殖目的的性交行为除外，都是单纯的享受性交的快感从而增进感情。既然如此，只要达到性高潮就好，射精与否其实并不重要。尤其是对于女性来说，非性器官之间的刺激和挑逗也能够达到这一目的，并且体内射精还面临着意外怀孕的风险，所以对于女性来说应该是值得担心的事情为什么会变得sexy呢？因为这是原始的，自然的？但其实在很多文化中，以生育为目的的性交是文明的，纯洁的，不带有“肮脏的性欲”的象征，例如在江户时期的日本，男人若想寻求浪漫爱情就会去吉原找游女，而家里妻子是只可远观而不可亵玩的，和母亲是同样存在的“圣女”。射精这一行为对于男性来说一直有种莫名的成就感和自豪感，每次射精都好像成功攀登珠穆朗玛峰，而男人最恐惧的事情之一也必然有阳痿早泄等性功能障碍。还有G的朋友们在谈话中永远无法离开有关男性生殖器和射精的玩笑，从这里也不难看出G一直以来受到的以男性话语权主导的社会和文化思想的影响，这种影响也就导致了她会不自觉地说出这样的话并以为很性感。

跑题了，说一下T这个群体。也许是因为性别认知障碍，也许是因为喜欢的对象恰好是直女，总之她们是一群从不停止抹去自身女性特质的努力的女人。即便像M那样拥有美丽的身体曲线和坚挺好看的乳房，她们总是羞于展现。其实男性特质也没什么，但在现在的父权制资本主义的社会背景下，T时常成为被嫌弃的对象——特别是les这个群体当中，也就能够理解了。打个比方，就好像19世纪的一个工人经常打扮成资本家的样子去工厂里，那么这个人大概率是要被说“背叛了无产阶级”。简单讲就是，男性化是OK的，但要取其精华弃其糟粕。

“我喜欢你，喜欢你的声音，喜欢你的身体，喜欢你的气味，喜欢你的疯狂又有趣的小脑瓜，不是因为性别年龄人种地位那些社会强加给每个人的抽象概念标签，仅仅因为你是你。”
