How to destroy a history of female struggle

This movie is very burning, it is the kind of burning that gold will always shine after all the grievances. The last time there was a similar burning point in my memory was "Beautiful Mind", but it was the spiritual curse that needed to be broken at that time, and this time it was artificial discrimination.

This is a good subject, which can fully explain why "political correctness" is so important in the current United States and the entire Western society, not to mention the fact that there are actual female role models underpinning. But it’s a pity that such a heavy and delicate subject matter has been reduced to a Marisu-style "female struggle history"-I am a genius, I am left out of the cold and wronged (for example, I don’t want to take the back of the bus, so I can only drive by myself. I had to run half a mile to the women’s toilet. For example, white men bullied me not to give me coffee), and then "God"—my white male boss had a clever eye to clear the obstacles for me (such as throwing away a coffee pot of colored people). , Removed the sign of the bathroom for women of color) He is so handsome and courageous! Of course, he also let me enter a high-level confidential meeting, personally give me the chalk, and make me shiny! My dark horse prince is also here. Although he looked like a idiot who discriminates against women at first, after being slammed back by me unceremoniously, he finally understood that I was totally different from the coquettish bastards outside of my smartness and cuteness!

...

I can't write anymore.

Katherine and Mary's redemption color is too strong, deliberately exaggerating the god-like perspective of their male boss, but weakening the fullness of the characters themselves. Dorothy and her female supervisor, who played the least in the scene, contributed the most wonderful opponent scenes. From the very beginning of moving the box to later handing out toilet paper in the bathroom, until the last Ms, there was no crying cry in the room, no "I can so you The chicken soup-like encouragement of "you can", only silent self-improvement and loud threats when necessary, this character grows, I am convinced.
