Suffragette

After watching "Suffragettes", my heart has always been heavy. For me, the meaning of watching the film is more important than the content. Whether it is the rights acquired by sacrifice and blood, or the frequent u-hing in European countries today, the 6b4t of Korean women's rights seems to be fighting for their rights after the collective awakening. I saw a lot of comments from a few years ago. It turned out that some people had female consciousness a long time ago. When I thought I was a very small number, it turned out that countless people have awakened. In recent years, more and more people have the awareness of defending their rights and fighting for equality, but I still feel that there are still very few people who are conscious of women. There is a sentence in "Rising on the Surface of History" that probably says that women are not the main body of their own liberation movement, and every progress on the road to liberation is being disciplined. Whether it's not binding feet, being able to go to school or other rights, our women's rights are not obtained by the struggle at the bottom, but by a very small number of great people, so it is inevitable that they will not be cherished.

Sometimes I feel alone, but as the end says "I'm utterly alone. I hear the sound of feet. A thousand times, ten thousands and thousands of thousands, and they beat this way, they're the feet of those that shall follow you. Lead on.”
