#They call it a miracle, we call it a victory.

This film represents more than technology.

In a patriarchal society, women, as a group to be "stared at", sometimes feel that they are a marginalized group like people of color. In order to gain the voice of women and escape gender stereotypes, firm attitude determination and changes in action are required.

"Life is like this, you can't think too much, you are very happy now, what else do you want, I'm worried about you..."

I have heard too many words like this, being spoiled and losing the right to speak gracefully, doing things quietly without asking for anything in return, touting women's contributions to the family... I don't want this.

What I want is someone who "holds me a pen when I'm trying", someone who believes that women are as creative and possible as men. We stand at the same height for dialogue, not to suppress by inertia and self-righteousness, but to be open, inclusive and supportive.
