Women ruled the human race for most of the time, spreading human civilization to the present day. Humans who have been suppressed for too long begin to despise women, even perverted.
America went through the Great Depression in the last century, and all people were feeding others. Women in this period are very strong and have a sense of responsibility, but there is nothing wrong with them!
Now women are often a disadvantaged group, which is also a form of discrimination, giving people the illusion that women are inferior to men. However, in the most normal families, most of the women settle down, and then the men enjoy their careers, and only then can the country be prosperous and peaceful. Men should not look at everything from the perspective of the powerful now.
The male 1 in the play is a single parent. The first feeling is that he is a mother's treasure, but it is good to have a mother who is an engineer. When the mother and the child are not communicating well, they will ask the child's friends to help, but the boy's first reaction is the same as everyone else's, refusing. When his friend was going to the hospital to get the cancer result, his mother suggested to wait at home because he was too sad, but he took him with the girl with his own sense of responsibility. This was growth, and he received a friendship. When he was with another girl who often sleeps and chats with him, the girl taught him to smoke. He learned it for a while, but he said that cigarettes are too difficult to smoke and cause cancer (his mother never leaves the cigarette), this is his self-consciousness Self-judgment display, healthy and upward.
A girl is a girl and a boy is a boy, just an external definition.

20th Century Women quotes

  • Jamie: I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea: In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie: Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie: I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William: I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie: My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Jamie: [to his mom] You know, when the firemen come... people don't usually invite them for dinner.
