A single mother with two children, the distress in life is conceivable. Josey, who just broke up with her violent husband and returned to her hometown and small town, is facing the process of rebuilding both psychologically and in life. However, it is a very real problem to have money before life. In this small town, miners are undoubtedly a well-paid job. As a miner's daughter Josey also joined the miners' team logically.
This is the world of men. The gentlemen who are bored in the dark mine every day see women, and their adrenaline naturally rises. Some people started to speak foul language, some people started to move. Most of the female workers chose to remain silent. However, someone wanted to be the first to eat crabs. When she stood up, she was only accompanied by others' ridicule and incomprehension.
Sexual harassment is difficult to define in clear words, thus creating certain difficulties for legislation. In fact, as the mildest form of sexual assault, sexual harassment can be said to be common in the workplace, and even considered a normal joke. And once this kind of awareness is formed, it is difficult to eradicate. The protagonist in the play has won, but there is still a long way to go to get the consensus of the whole society.

    Alibaba Rape. What was I supposed to do? You're scared! ? Watching Say Nothing Running. Isn't TA afraid? Desperately terrified, TA was pressed against the door, Raped. I just escaped from domestic violence and divorced, and then jumped into full of foul language. Being harassed is already the daily life of a miner. Be patient, in order to survive! Why are you laughing? If on such an occasion, your former friend called your daughter a bitch and didn't stand up, what kind of father are you! Your daughter is just pregnant, and you can only knock on the closet, why don't you ask how your daughter got pregnant and raped! Such a situation still exists, an angry P, sending such an official document, the murder of the whole society! what should you do! Stand up, stand up, stand up, tell the truth! Instead of being secretive, would you call your mother, daughter, sister, sister bitch cunt? Do you know? Why call someone else's daughter a bitch! ?
