At the end of the play, the comparison photos of the character prototypes and the actors were released, which can be described as highly restored, and the well-intentioned work of the crew can be seen. Once, as a law student, I focused more on procedural justice, racism, the American judicial system, and American-style democracy for Simpson's wife murder case. Today, being a professional woman is struck by the stark sexism of the show. Martha, the female prosecutor in the Simpson case, has been pushed into the abyss of sexism time and time again, from hairstyles, dresses and even voice expressions, to bitch or hero voting, to parenting shaming, to ex-husband releasing her nude photos. . . Strong on the outside but deep in power. . . When Martha slumped on the ground and wept bitterly, I choked up, too, for this unjust world. After so many years, sexism is still an eternal existence in this era, as if racism will not die out because of resistance, and it will not be reversed because of Simpson's innocence. We keep emphasizing equality between men and women on various occasions, and it is precisely because men and women are not equal. Professional women always have so many ties. In addition to managing their own careers, they also need to have children, raise children and take care of their families, deal with the "softness" of hairstyles and skirts, and deal with various relationships to be recognized by society. . As for a man, as long as his career is successful, he is an undisputed good man, just like Simpson, even domestic violence and even murder are innocent.
Simpson is a black man, and he made himself a white man; when danger comes, he is reluctant, but it is his skin color that saves him. So, I am a woman, I live as a man; when danger comes, I will fight hard, but please don't forget, I am a woman.
