I really feel very happy after watching this documentary. The RBG in the video is petite, most of the expressions are with a shallow smile and a little shy, but her speech in court is so calm and miraculous The thing is, this kind of calm but firm speech does not give people a kind of aggressive momentum.
I think it's because her insistence is for "justice" sake, and what people feel is wisdom combined with compassion.
I was impressed by the two words she said in it
“The gender line helps to keep women not on a pedestal but in a cage.”
“Men and women are persons of equal dignity and they should count equality before the law.”
This seemingly simple principle is indeed the goal she has been striving for all her life. In the courts where men have the right to speak, she takes the trouble to explain to them over and over again that women and men should enjoy equal treatment, because women are also People, she joked in the documentary: "She is like a kindergarten teacher teaching these male judges."
In the face of this suffocating patriarchal environment, she moves forward without being humble or arrogant, how can people not be in awe of her, how can people not like her.
What impressed me was the love she had with her husband. Her husband wrote a letter to her before he died. The content of the letter was as follows
"My dearest Ruth
You are the only person I have loved in my life , setting aside a bit parents and kids and their kids.
what a treat it has been to watch you progress to the very top of the legal word. I have admire and love you almost since the day we first met at Cornell ,some 56 years ago.
The time has come for me to take a leave of life because the loss of quality now simply overwhelmed I hope you will support where I come out and understand you may not .I will not love you a jot less.”
RBG started choking after reading the last sentence. It can be seen that their love is so deep, I can feel their love is mutual appreciation in the soul, they support each other, and their marriage is not limited to the secular gender division of labor. Martin is very He attaches great importance to her career and sees her brilliance in her career. He is sincerely proud and happy for her. Even in the early stage of her career, he is willing to follow her footsteps and support her.
I am very happy to see such a woman in my life, she lives beautifully and wonderfully, she lives out herself, to love and to be loved.
