please yourself

It seems that the art history teacher feels a bit feminist to many people, which also reflects the soil in which we grew up, and how male-oriented the society we have been shaped into, which makes the female behavior of independent pursuit of the true self seem a bit extreme feminism.

Just from the fate of a few characters in the film, the unhappy little woman, the quasi-Yale woman who pursues self-defined happiness, and the charming female teacher, can we female compatriots warn and encourage ourselves, and please ourselves? right way?

Women who are tightly entangled in the secular net and want to break free but are afraid of not being able to bear the price, we will never be able to grasp others, no matter how much favor they give to you. In fact, both men and women need a sense of security. This sense of security can only be given by oneself, which is the most secure. In the final analysis, it is better to shape yourself first, like a female art history teacher.

What I admire about her is that she never felt embarrassed when she asked students why you didn't get married. She was pursued by many people. She didn't rely on the love and other people to be strong and face, and
she was not vain. She has faith and pursues her true self, which is enough to make her charming.
