King Kong Theory, Virginie Pars
The book entitled "King Kong Theory" is a work written by the contemporary author of French origin, Virginie detes, which has been characterized by her works of the novel genre and her literature based on current issues, including gender equality andFeminism. In her work, the author takes up many important points related to issues of sexuality, prostitution and many problems related to these issues. In the present work, it has been sought to resume the most important principles mentioned?
The approach that the author wantsWomen are the focus of criticism, submission, and attack by the way in which they are seen or in the way they act. For anyone it is a surprise that society has been stereotyping the image of women and has defined beauty in a specific way that has allowed the comparison of beauty models with any other woman.
Reading seems to be focused mainly on women, however, the more we go to it we can see that what the author means to us is also for men, since it seeks to reflect on the role of gender in society and theway in which many behaviors deteriorate these roles, mainly through sexist behaviors that only prevent that equality that has been sought since time immemorial.
Many women have been criticized for their physical appearance, the way they look and how they act when they do not adapt to the stereotype that has been created from the female gender in society. The author, in her book, wants to open that window that has blinded people for a long time and demonstrates it with her words where she invites women to join to not feel bad about how they look, the author says that she speaks from uglinessFor the ugly, hysterical, folable or non -follable, even for women who have been excluded by their physical appearance and not follow the aesthetic norms that have been created in today’s society. Without a doubt, the message that the author wants to give.
Deards does not seek to criticize those women who consider themselves beautiful and who like to seduce, feel sensual and do their best to please men, she says she does not consider it bad, as long as she is for her own pleasure and not for theneed to fit and follow the female stereotype that has been created. She says she does not criticize it but that she does not belong to that group, but she likes to appreciate the diversity that exists within the female sex and how it complements in the social context.
Even, desents seeks to make us understand how she really is and describes, adds that “I am one of those women with whom he does not get married, with whom there is no children, I speak from my woman’s place that is always too much everything thatIt is too aggressive, too loud, too fat, too brutal, too rough, always too virile, they say ”.
The author also seems to want to reflect on the impotence caused by the way in which men have made the body and role of women within society see. Deards ensures that the body of women was belonging to man in the past, that perspective has lost even today, where men remain the most benefited before women. There is talk of an inequality that remains in force in the 21st century, where the woman still can be seen as a man completely despite everything that has been achieved in feminist matters.
Another perspectives that the author seeks to analyze with her words has to do with the relationship of her issues with other social dimensions, including pornography. The author talks about pornography in a different way from what is believed, says that she does not really denigrate the woman as she believes, but that the fact of censoring porn if she does, since she is going against whatthat really seeks.
His theory is titled as "King Kong" since he criticizes the cinema and the way he sees the woman, he talks about the character of King Kong is not really a man or a woman, but it is a phenomenonsocial, wild and natural where the woman feels really calm, while when she is inside society is when she really feels in danger. It is basically a criticism of the way in which female role in society has been created and in the way they feel attacked by the same society.
With the above, we can see that the fiddle message is oriented to a criticism of society as such, it speaks of many personal cases in which it is wrapped and that it uses as starting points for its criticism. It even shows us that the place where he lives, a first world country like France, remains far from that utopia of gender equality, since there are still many social phenomena that denigrate the role of women in society andKeep putting them at risk. A very clear example is the fact that prostitution is legal in France, which is often the result of abuse and human rights deprivation, in addition to other macho behaviors such as the role of women inside the home.
Finally, what the author seeks to tell us basically has to do with the fact that there must be gender equality and individual freedom, both for men, and for women. The reality is that this freedom must be seen within the actions that the woman decides to take, where she is not forced to follow certain stereotypes to be accepted in society, where the elections she takes does not affect anyone elseWho feels comfortable with his own life, without the need to follow what society has sought for many years. Basically the author means that society and their way of thinking must make women feel safe and comfortable, as in King Kong analogy.
