After watching the finale of "Mrs. America", it's a bit sad.
When I watched the first few episodes, I just wanted to say, this movie is so ironic.
Let's start with the summary:
1. A woman, through anti-feminist methods, just proved that she is the most feminist person. And the feminist movement is precisely at the hands of feminists.
2. Feminism and anti-feminism are fighting to the death, and the main methods of struggle are actually desperate and patriarchal. They can only beg for equality from the male framers within the established unequal rules of the game.
Phyllis Schlafly, a housewife with six children, is bent on politics and her own seat in Congress. It shouldn't be too cool to be a female politician in those days, okay? In order to achieve her political goals, she desperately opposed the ERA and opposed women's equal rights.
But Mrs.Schlafly failed in the end. She presented the results of her years of hard work to the authorities, thinking that they would fulfill their promises and give her the position she deserved, but the other party only said thank you. At the end of the story, she was still the one in the kitchen Housewife peeling to prepare dinner.
She is much better and more enlightened than her neighbors and best friends who obey her husband. At 50, she is willing to start law school from scratch for her career. But she was wrong because she didn't see far enough. She only knew that she wanted to climb up, but she didn't know that if the general environment did not change, the status of women did not change, and the rules of the game for men did not change, she, as a small Individuals, no matter how hard you try, you can't get ahead.
The same goes for feminists, and so do you and I. We are all a community with a shared future.
