华裔美国作家任璧莲的代表作《典型的美国佬》以男主人公拉尔夫为核心,讲述了一代中国移民在美国寻梦,并最终成为典型美国佬的故事。拉尔夫身居崇尚平等的“自由”国度,骨子里却充斥着男尊女卑、男权至上的封建思想。他以其厌女症心理、权威的家长做派和男权卫道士的身份牢牢地占据着中心位置,而他周围的女性都免不了被物化、被边缘化。 Chinese American writer Ren Pin Lin’s masterpiece, “Typical American Guy”, takes the hero Ralph as the core and tells the story of a generation of Chinese immigrants dreaming in the United States and eventually becoming a typical American. Ralph resided in the “free” kingdom advocating equality, but he was filled with the feudal ideology of male supremacy and patriarchal. He is firmly in the center of his psychology of misogyny, authoritative parenting and patriarchism, and the women around him inevitably are materialized and marginalized.
