Feminism has been a topic of interest in recent years. More and more women are able to stand up for their rights, but it is worth noting that although women have gained some rights, they still suffer from injustice in the workplace and at home. On the other hand, sex education in China is not yet widespread, and many people do not understand the most basic knowledge of sex and are even ashamed to talk about sex. Therefore, this phenomenon has led to very serious consequences, such as more and more women choosing abortion. This article will take "Send Me to the Cloud" as the research object and use the research method of secondary analysis to describe in detail where Chinese women suffer from inequality and explain why Chinese women still suffer from inequality. At the same time, the reasons and consequences of the lack of female sexual knowledge in China will be described in detail. In fact, the study results found that women suffered the most discrimination in the workplace and at home. On the other hand, the main reason for the phenomenon of "sex shame" in China is because China believes in Confucianism. Second, the findings found that the one-child policy is also a cause of discrimination against women because most families want a boy. Most importantly, this paper uses this film as an example to reveal the truth of life when people want to gain respect from others, they should first gain their own respect.
