"I will NOT die washing dishes in the kitchen!"

When I saw Margaret washing the cups in the kitchen in the same way as ordinary housewives, I was scared that the ending would be her own words, saying "I will NOT die washing dishes in the kitchen", but That’s how I left the world. Maybe I’m a pessimist, or I don’t really believe that a woman can ignore all the obstructions of the world from beginning to end, not only stubbornly not following any label imposed on the basis of gender, but also straightforwardly expressing this. The absurdity of the label.

Fortunately, Margaret thought of what to put down the saucer, why should

she go, "business as usual". It does not mean that women can't be in the kitchen and can't be a person who silently supports men's careers. In my own opinion, no one can interfere with the informed choices others make about themselves, just as no one can impose general and meaningless labels on individuals (how many of us who are accustomed to being labelled by the collective should be accustomed to labeling? ), especially when the reason for these labels happens to be that a certain gender in human history occupies the tool of production and thus has the right to speak. It

is just that I think about it, but I will naturally self-censor and self-compromise in life. If I didn’t have it myself How to do it, and what capital do you have to say how others should be? Everyone faces reality the same, then avoids risks, and then becomes a person who meets social expectations.


After a long period of depression, watching this movie is very inspirational. Since childhood. How much courage and conviction should Margaret, who has been shunned by other girls, persist in Oxford, and this is just the beginning. Fortunately, the film did not simplify the resistance she encountered-from men or not from men-but Margaret insisted on her own opinions, and confronted and responded to the challenge again and again.

Gender was never her excuse or reliance. Or she believed it was not. The established patriarchal society certainly caused injustice to women, but it was just like the self. Censorship, in many cases, limits are also set by women themselves. "People must respect themselves, and later generations will respect them", only when a person "care more about what I say, rather than how I say it",Only then has the ability to speak this sentence to the other party loudly.


When I look at it, I think, King's Speech vs Iran Lady. One has to overcome inner fear (and external pressure), and the other has to overcome external resistance (and inner fear). But the way of narration is so different. King George faces Isn’t there enough doubts about the outside world? Does Margaret face not enough inner struggles? But the two movies we have seen, one is full of color, the king is fighting hard, and the other is the portrayal of the female prime minister. Other people's relationship-relationship with a man and another group of men. Is it because the king's speech is only about a story and Margaret is about to tell the entire political career? What about Hoover? An extremely conceited politician, How did the movies telling his life shape him? It was he who kept reminiscing about how he overwhelmed the sky and created the CIA. In every memory, he is the protagonist, even his lover and his apparent lover can almost do it. Being hidden is his footnote.

Looking back at Margaret, the film emphasizes that she is a person. From before 1979 to 1990, she has been hostile to Wanfu with her courage. This is probably true, but not necessarily It is Margaret’s troubles. As long as the facts will become excuses and motivation for inaction, then women will have no other people to blame. Perhaps under the influence of the environment from childhood to large, more women will indeed be affected by her and others. , Defined by the relationship with the world, but if you don’t care about being labeled, and more importantly, you don’t double label other people because you are labeled, what is your fear to a certain extent? What's the complaint?

Even if it is whispered by others When you are a "grocer's daughter", you can also ask him to repeat it without saying a word, and then use your own theory to refute it.

Because you are a woman, you lower your IQ and ability requirements. Isn't it right? Do you underestimate a copy of his IQ and abilities because he is a woman? Yes, I want family and love, but

it’s not only women who want a romantic life. Why should I go, it’s business as usual.
