Re-experience what a "patriarchal" society is

It is still the Unicom 8M broadband installed when I got married. For unknown reasons, I have been unable to use the router to surf the Internet. The 8M bandwidth can only connect one computer to the Internet through dial-up, and all other wireless devices that can be used cannot access the Internet. During this period, I negotiated with China Unicom many times, and the customer service, technicians, and various workers all searched for it. The reply I got was "Miss, your router settings are wrong", "This situation is impossible, you must have set it wrong. ""Find someone who can set up routers." After I stressed many times that I was not a computer idiot and that there was no problem with my settings, my husband was finally moved by my madness and contacted China Unicom on Friday. As a result, the broadband was repaired on Saturday. Completely repaired. And the worker I despised, this time, in order to thoroughly investigate the reasons, he carefully checked all the electric wells downstairs in the community. After repairing it, he told my husband that if there is any problem with the broadband in the future, feel free to contact him. His tone was as if They have known each other for a long time. What I want to say is, in fact, my husband said the same thing about China Unicom as I did, that is, when we dial up, we can access the Internet, but when we connect to the router, we cannot. China Unicom also answered that this is impossible. The same words as before, "I know this situation is special, but it's true", as a result, they immediately said, well, we will send workers to show you a good look. Why do they think "Miss, your router must be set up wrong" when I say the same thing? My husband is male, they don't think he can't set up routers himself, and I, even if I stress that I'm not a computer idiot a thousand times, is still considered a computer idiot. It would be a bit far-fetched to associate this matter with the male-dominated society, but why did the Unicom people think that I would never set up a router? IT, business, technology, medicine, and even accountants, teachers, chefs, masseuses, makeup artists, are there careers in this world that only belong to women? The elites in these industries, women are just an embellishment. The night I fixed the broadband, I happened to watch a movie about feminism, The Purple, directed by Spielberg. After watching it, I was completely disappointed with feminist works from a male perspective. The film is based on black people, and the racial part has been diluted a lot. The protagonist is a submissive black woman with deep servility, and her consciousness is influenced by the three black women around her. How did the director express his views on women's independence through these three black women? I think his expression is very interesting, but also very contemptuous. The first is the protagonist's sister, her independence lies in rebelling against her father and running away from home. The second is the wife of the protagonist's stepson. She is more exciting. She is a fat, pungent woman who likes to use violence. She is a little nervous, and walking is also a big step forward. In that black society where wife beating is justified, She said, "I love him, but I'd rather die than let him beat me." The third is a prostitute and the lover of the protagonist's husband. I don't like this woman at all, and I feel sick looking at it. There are many men around her, all of them are very obsessed. The film uses a long shot to dance for her, but this is not a commercial film. The official introduction to her independence is that she relies on talent. Independence, this is also where I feel that the director looks down on people.
Compared with Jane Eyre, the female protagonist novel written by the female writer Charlotte, this "Purple" is really rubbish.
If you want to see a woman who pursues freedom and dignity, is independent, noble and strong in literary and artistic works, it must not be written by a man.

PS, there are several places in the film that are very disgusting. One is that their Christian culture is almost everywhere, but their social values ​​are that women are slaves.
We all know that black people are very enthusiastic people, and the blues also originated from them, but why are they dancing with the music in this film, as if they are vilifying them?
In the end, the prostitute used that method to conquer her father, who was a priest in the church, and was completely speechless.
Also, that prostitute taught the protagonist how to experience eroticism. . . . . .
What did the director think?
