自古以来全国各地一直存在根深蒂固的男性霸权现象。在父权主义中的女性不停地遭受到，语言，法律，社会，家庭，意识形态等等的压迫和诋毁。女性被当成为男性存在的‘活物’，被视为只能生产的‘工具’。她们的自尊无辜被糟蹋，地位被贬低，但这种形态已成为了大家所谓的理所当然。新加坡一直在走向经济发展的现代化社会，但在思想方面确实还是存在一定的保守和传统的心态。虽然如此，在1945年战后，不少新加坡女性因为受到政治意识的激扬，而慢慢有了女性主义的意识。自独立建国以来，新加坡女性建立起了自己的自主性，久而久之与性别有关的禁忌逐渐淡化。许多关于女性的自主性题材也在教育，艺术，文学，媒体，法律等等方面有了更进一步的发展和突破。 本文会通过几部关于女性题材的剧本，试图探讨新加坡剧场是如何挑战一些一般人避而不谈的女性敏感话题，以女性为主要人物来放大和批判父权社会中女性所经历的残酷待遇。从而主导反抗那些长年累月的性别刻板印象，为女性发声。 Since ancient times, there has been a deep-rooted phenomenon of male dominant society throughout the world. Women in patriarchalism are constantly undergoing oppression and slander by language, law, society, family, ideology, etc. Women are regarded as ‘living things’ for the seek of men’s existence, and as ‘tools’ that can only reproduce. Their self-esteem is ruined and their status is degraded, but this situation has become what everyone calls for granted. Singapore has been moving towards a modern society with economic development, but there is still a certain conservative and traditional mentality in terms of the nation’s thinking. Nevertheless, after World War II in 1945, many Singaporean women gradually became feminist due to their political awareness of the current situation. Since the country’s independence, Singaporean women have established their own autonomy, and gender-related taboos have gradually faded over time. Many topics about women's autonomy have also made further developments and breakthroughs in education, art, literature, media, law, etc. This report paper will look into several Singapore chinese theatre scripts on female subjects to explore how Singaporean theaters challenge some sensitive female topics that most people avoid, and use women as the main protagonist to magnify and criticize the cruel treatment experienced by women in a patriarchal society. So as to dominate the resistance of gender stereotypes over the years and speak for the women.
