Chapter 335 Complaint!
335
As the "Roy v. Wade case" slowly kicked off, Gloria saw all this, which made her clearly realize how much role an excellent lawyer can play in the civil rights movement.
The civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s almost swept the entire country. Equality was the most core concept in the civil rights movement, mainly racial equality and gender equality.
But speaking of the gers, who only account for 15% of the national population, have been engaged in a gender equality movement that accounts for 50% of the population in terms of momentum and results. One of the important points is that black elites have realized the role of lawyers very early. Since the end of World War II, they have begun to cultivate their own legal talents in large quantities, and have achieved results in the mid-1950s, and have fought through the continuous use of legal weapons. Of course, the violent behavior of Malcolm and others is also an extremely important existence, and eventually swept racial discrimination into the garbage dump.
On the contrary, the women's rights movement was carried out much earlier than the black movement, but it was still very loud and the rain was small. This was inseparable from the fact that women's rights organizations did not attach importance to legal struggles and only wanted to make big news all day long. The legacy of Emilyn Pankhurst has not been cleared yet.
This internal disdain for the "reasonable path of struggle" not only slowed down the overall progress of women's rights and interests, but also had a counterproductive effect. The experience of relatively moderate feminists like Gloria in their own organization is also hard to describe.
In short, Gloria is not stupid, so she has a very good personal impression of Edward, and even had a bit of a sense of transcendence to the relationship between ordinary comrades at that time.
But looking at Gloria James, who is taller than himself and has wider shoulders than himself, Edward Lingtai is clear and has pure thoughts, and does not consider anything else except work! He has no such worldly desire at all...
Someone has no racism. In fact, he misses Tinatner's panther-like body, but unfortunately the latter is a big star, and he is full of schedules, so he is embarrassed to disturb others' work.
Of course, Gloria's figure is actually more "body-to-fit"...
He was thinking about matching Gloria and Chris to make a pair. From the perspective of genetic eugenics, the crystallization of these two strong combinations is definitely the embryo of a top athlete, and he will become a dazzling star in both rugby and basketball.
The only flaw of this plan is that Chris has a pitfall. Although she is black, her heart is very white. She will never become a "escaped dad"... and one of the prerequisites for becoming a black sports superstar is "no dad"... This is not a problem in general. As the American joke says, "How to make a male ger run into a world record? Tell him that he is about to become a dad." Obviously Chris definitely cannot do this. Secondly, Chris has a classical aesthetic since childhood. He stayed away from Gloria's physical characteristics full of postmodern art style. After learning about Edward's thoughts, he almost fell over with a German bridge-like back...
With this frontal relationship, although the two debates were full of sparks, the process was quite gentle and could be called a gentleman's dispute. At least both sides held the bottom line...
Originally, this was the most basic debate requirement, but now it has become a rewarding point, and Edward didn't understand the mystery of it for a while.
But this surprised him and felt very comfortable. There were usually no winners in the debate. Just like before and William Barkley, both sides just tried their best to express their opinions to attract enough fans with the same political spectrum...that's all.
But this time, I actually felt that the truth became clearer and clearer as it became.
Gloria generously admitted that her own proposal was to promote education and private boycott activities and to control the intensity of the control without a large-scale one-size-fits-all boycott, because this was better than letting the government intervene in censorship and control.
Edward certainly agreed with this, after all, he is a "conservative" constitutional lawyer, and the core of his daily work is how to treat the government as a thief - and it is carried out in the form of presumption of guilt.
Later, while paying tribute to Gloria, Edward also raised his own concerns. Once a widespread large-scale boycott activity is carried out, it will inevitably be expanded. This form of folk movement is easily abused, and the consequences of this kind seem minor, but in fact it will be very terrible.
Gloria agrees with Edward's point of view, but she stressed that excessive resistance may be problematic, but the act of resistance itself is completely reasonable and legal, and she will not give up on this practice, after all, this is the basic right given to every citizen by the Constitution.
Finally, Edward made a summary speech
"From the results of this dinner, I realize that a feminist's view on anti-pornography is not fundamentally inconsistent with the First Amendment of the Constitution."
"Indeed, feminist activists protested extremely strongly against yellow items, which may seem a bit too much, but we have to admit that they are also in their attitude towards other known sins. This is a moral choice, I can't understand, but I have to show respect... Just like someone here will watch Deep Throat over and over again, and Ms. Gloria wants to let this thing disappear from the earth, both seem to be able to kill each other, but this won't happen in the United States, because both are constitutionally protected."
"However, I still want to express my personal concerns to a certain extent, not targeting Ms. Gloria. In fact, I respect her very much, respect her persistence in protecting women's rights and the restraint she can maintain in a fanatical society. This is very difficult..."
"Everyone knows that I am a rightist, that is, a conservative." As soon as the words were spoken, the audience burst into laughter, and he couldn't help it.
He took the opportunity to drink two sips of water. After everyone's laughter was temporarily extinguished, he continued
"When I was young, I was also a political leftist"
The laughter around him was even louder. This guy was not even thirty years old, but he spoke in a very old way, but this was the most likable part of American speeches. Regardless of whether the speaker's reason was right or not, jokes must be included and listeners must feel relaxed and happy... Reagan was able to be elected as the governor of California because he was once a second-rate actor - he had no other skills, but he was a special skill when he spoke. In addition, this guy's appearance was also a bit handsome, which gave him a lot of money for his teacher's breasts...
"He continued to say that at that time, I thought the left was the spokesperson for ordinary people. However, the truth is far from that."
“Training people into dead ends of dependence and dissatisfaction may not help improve their situation, but those who dress themselves as ‘friends of the oppressed’ can gain both fame and fortune.”
"One terrible sign of a decline in education over the years is that too many people can't make clear-cut arguments. They will vent their emotions, question others' motivations, make bold assertions, repeat propaganda slogans, and they will do everything except using reason. Fortunately, we have sober people like Gloria."
"Finally, I've talked about my own personal views, and I never hide it from it. I think the public screening of "Deep Throat" may not be a decent act, but it's legal! So I support Gloria's actions, as long as it is carried out within the legal framework."
"Society needs checks and balances and games. When we have to endure those people and things that we feel cannot bear, we are actually protecting ourselves. The beauty of the world lies in the uneven levels of life, and those things that make us uncomfortable always exist. We must learn to live with them, rather than letting them disappear based on our likes and dislikes..."
"If that's the case,..." Edward coughed, "I have to say something bad, and to increase the persuasion effect, I'd better take off one of my leather shoes and beat them on the podium..."
Everyone laughed in response, mocking the bald Sui Jing... They must laugh, and laugh loudly. This is basic political correctness!
"Moscow's status is actually quite high. Women can join work and can also not be given their husband's surname after marriage... But even the most radical feminist movement in the United States would not choose to settle there, right? I think everyone knows the reason. There may be no things that make them uncomfortable in Moscow, because they have all been erased, but in this way, they themselves may become discomfortable existences that make big people uncomfortable at any time and disappear from then on."
"And I have to remind you that the high social status of Su Lian women is not that it fell from the sky, but that they work hard with their own hands. It is really surprising when I see that the activists in our country are reluctant to find a decent job, but are keen to liberate all women."
"The main reason is that we all understand that the purpose of work is to create social value - reflecting one's own existence, fucking it, this is nonsense, of course it's for salary! Otherwise, how could I help Larry Flint sue Memphis for anti-pornography? You know, I'm a conservative!" The clever self-deprecation made the audience's response even more enthusiastic.
He sneered and changed his style: "I can't even earn a salary, but I have money to organize various demonstrations. I really don't know how they did it. To be honest, I suspect that it is the power of the ruble..."
Classic American speaking routines - create fear, appeal to fear, use fear to unite the majority in order to seek the greatest common divisor, of course, all of this was done under the support of Su Lian jokes.
...
According to Silarey, there was a fierce conflict between Dworkin and Gloria due to this dinner.
Dworkin didn't get the upper hand because whenever she tried to attack Gloria in a fierce tone, the latter would remind her: "I'm a black man, so please don't let me think you're a racist."
Dworkin's momentum was directly destroyed by several points.
But Dworkin refused to give in.
She also has a large number of loyal followers.
Dworkin decided to play bigger.
On the day of the screening, that is, tomorrow, she will set up a picket line. This is actually a name that makes trouble and then take this opportunity to promote the harm of pornographic products to the majority of students.
For this purpose, she specially prepared a booklet to explain her views, and a set of explicit and realistic slideshows that describe how such objects are purely promoting the essence of y desire, and was ready to be screened in Dwight Lobby an hour before the release of "Deep Throat". Yes, they booked the use time before the screening...
Several famous feminists from Connecticut were also invited to give speeches...
"What is this tmd? Why do I feel like I'm going to get into Jiexieyin? The golden light shines with righteousness, making me feel like my little one... If I add the words that will be punished by heaven, it would be even more like..."
Edward was not very interested in the excitement caused by this drama.
He said that supporting boycotts is not nonsense, but actually the series of activities surrounding the Dwight Auditorium fully stated that the First Amendment in New Haven has produced fruitful results:
All actions are within the scope of law;
No one's remarks are suppressed, and everyone can express their opinions.
Film Association prepares to release Deep Throat
The school made a clear statement, but did not make compulsory requirements
Feminists are preparing to distribute materials to promote their anti-pornographic views.
For other non-parties, or people who are called melon-eating people, everyone has the right to choose what opinions they should listen to, or not...
In fact, the behavior of feminists seems to be quite effective, and more students expected to attend picket lines and go to watch slides than those willing to watch Deep Throat.
On the one hand, this reflects the moral average of local residents. On the other hand, it is probably because everyone has watched "Deep Throat", but that slide is said to be particularly exciting and has never been played publicly...
Most of them hold the view that the film association has the right to play "Deep Throat", but at the same time, this behavior does ignore the feelings of girls living near the auditorium. Screening such a film in a common home is an act of hurting feelings.
Edward deeply agrees with this!
Everything is done within the United States' favorite framework.
He even felt that he could go back to New York early.
...
However, things did not go in the direction he expected.
Dworkin is still not satisfied with small fuss. In her opinion, if Deep Throat is released, it would be her failure, and she cannot tolerate it.
Finally she took action and made a surprising decision.
On Friday morning, she took several people to New Haven City Attorney John DeLoney's office to file a lawsuit - asking police to dispatch to stop the screening of "Deep Throat".
If this kind of thing happens in New York, both the liberal Solomon and the conservative Giuliani will think that this woman is crazy and then tell her with kind words that the prosecutor does not have the power to order the police. You have to go to the city government to petition for such things...
The city government still welcomed him warmly, but would recommend him to go to the city council to try his luck.
The municipal senator of the city council was indignant after listening patiently, but said he could not help but provide media channels to make their voices.
In short, if Dworkin did this in New York, he would be fooled by a monkey, and the monkey himself felt he was valued.
But this is New Haven.
Solomon and Giuliani are the rising stars of their respective parties. They are skilled in doing things, have super intelligence, are familiar with the law, and cannot do clearly what they can do (of course, it is another issue to discuss if they can't do it behind their backs.)
And John DeLone is a fool.
In fact, he had put forward the slogan of cracking down on all pornographic items during his campaign. In his speech, he said that when he heard the name of pornographic products, he wanted to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage and paralysis throughout his body.
