Isn’t she lovely?


People say that men should have "manliness." Do you think the characteristics of men should be masculine? On the other hand, feminine beauty is known as the virtue of women. Of course, I believe that the physical difference between male and female obviously exist. I admit that in the Olympic games, males and females should compete separately because they have the different physical levels. However, even though we need to admit the difference of physical level, I think that we should not encourage our children to be macho and feminine. I think that some people firmly argue that masculinity and femininity are standard for men and women.
 I would like to introduce a TV comedy show in South Korea.



 As you watched, the heroine, who was beautiful and sexy, appeared in this show. She is a main character, who is a very skillful spy in an imaginary spy TV series in this show. However, she theatrically says “NO” when the director requires action scenes. Her excuses are that it’s too heavy or high for her. She just wants to look sexy and beautiful on the screen. Next to her, the director and the male actor complain about her selfish behaviors. Eventually, the body double appears next to her, and she looks like a man. She performs exaggerated stunt actions. Audiences laugh with her exaggerated masculinity. I know this is just the comedy show. However, sometimes I am uncomfortable of the message of this show because this show tries to satirize the heroines who want to be ‘the Barbie Spy’ at first, but it becomes that the body double is ugly to the audience.
I think that people consider masculinity and femininity as attraction of men and women in many cases. Sometimes, I feel the body double, who performs extreme actions, is more attractive than the sexy heroine. As an action role, actress should do their jobs.
