Erin is definitely a feminist icon

She is independent and self-reliant. In order to support her children, she fights for a job in a law firm. When she can't take care of her family, she is questioned by her boyfriend, "What should I do with the sacrifice of my children?" She said, I can provide them with more things now than before. When asked "what should I do", she gave a classic answer, what do you mean by half, do you think men will ask me what I need when they abandon me? I can see that I applaud her.

When asked by a child why her friend's mother could play with her but she couldn't, she replied, because her friend's mother doesn't work, of course she has time to spend with her child... It's really refreshing to be confident.

Indeed, how can family and work be at the same time. As a woman, I have been asked too much all the time. It is your responsibility to take care of your family. So many people have experienced the pain of having a child and raising a child. The child needs the company of the mother. Your work should be put aside, and the family comes first... I just wrote all of these. Tired? Love Erin's firmness, working hard despite taking the kids to the office. Fortunately, the eldest child finally understood her, and her boyfriend also saw with his own eyes the compensation she won for the victim and her gratitude to her. very nice.

Honestly, I think Erin definitely didn't study feminism specifically, but her philosophy of life and work is quintessentially feminism. I hope that in the future, there will be fewer verbal appeals for women's rights on the Internet, and more women who are self-improving and uncompromising will appear. This is the best way to advance the status of women.

I am reading "Second Sex", I think there are many things to learn in life, I hope I can absorb feminism and apply it in real life.

Erin's attitude towards work

This job is the first time in my life that I feel respected by people

Questions a typical mother would be asked

What about what the kids give up?

I can do more for them now than I used to

Erin's answer when her boyfriend asked "what should I do"
what do you do?
When you think a man is abandoning me
will ask me, do you need anything
I've been revolving around men all my life
sacrificing myself
But it's different now, I won't do that
