This episode was fun.
Conservative opposition headed by Phyllis and progressive liberals headed by Bella, on the eve of preparations for the Women's Congress.
Phyllis is as tough as ever, but in this episode is tortured by both menopause and the defection of his children. When taking the "family portrait", Phyllis first learned that her daughter didn't want her classmates to know that her mother was an anti-feminist pioneer and changed her name at school. Then a son said that he had decided to go to Berkeley, a holy place for leftists. Phyllis turned around and left in anger. Only the stairs with the back soaked in sweat due to menopause freeze.
As a result, Phyllis did not participate in the subsequent election of representatives of the Women's Congress, but her three small followers got the qualifications to represent. In this episode, Phyllis's most loyal fan, Miss Banana, also begins to show signs of defecting. The first was the impact of Bella's words. When Bella asked what they had learned from Phyllis, Sister Banana was proud to admit that she had learned everything. She organized activities to lobby politicians to draft press releases to arrange budgets, etc. In her arms, she said, "You are working women!" Phyllis was the real feminist. The three little servants looked shocked, and then fell into deep thought.
Next, Phyllis, who would not easily admit defeat, started a counterattack out of context from Bella's speech. Sister Banana felt broken again after seeing it. She did not agree with what Phyllis did, and even said that it was a devious condemnation. What's even more interesting is that when the three valet told Phyllis that they had been selected to represent the women's conference, one valet said with a little pride, "This is a job that the government will pay for. "
Bella is actually more like Phyllis. They have a more thorough and practical understanding of politics. When they need to unite, they unite, and when they need to compromise, they compromise. Bella was in high spirits when she first took over the preparations for the Women's Conference, and soon adopted a retreat strategy on the two issues of abortion rights and homosexuality, in order to achieve other feminist issues to a greater extent, but was met by the alliance Gloria. Soul torture, "You're not as radical as you used to be, where is the courage you risked your life to defend Willie McGee". Bella shot back on the spot that Gloria was a half-ass in politics.
A white female lawyer who was 8 months pregnant and still defended black people in the face of death threats. In any case, as a former idealist, Bella couldn't be indifferent to Gloria's accusations. She asked a sentence, "No one will say any more. Are you bothered by being radical?" This is a testament to her idealistic tendencies, and heralds her eventual reconciliation with Gloria and her decision to stick with Radical on the issue of the Women's Conference.
Towards the end of episode 7, a full-scale group portrait of women appeared, ranging from the joy of the liberal camp supporting abortion rights and the gay community, to the excitement of the conservative camp stepping out of the family for the first time to get a social role as a housewife, everyone's face All smiling.
Unfortunately, the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. Phyllis doesn't agree with the KKK's extreme racism, but in order to win the political fight, she teamed up with Lottie and tacitly acquiesced in the KKK's funding of the event, and the two teams decided to launch a counterattack after the women's conference. According to the development of real events, this has also become the historical node of the final failure of ERA.
In stark contrast, a group of smiling faces in the sun, two voices conspiring in the dark. Finally, the "Me and Jesus" song plays, also like a confrontation with "Cherry Bomb" from Phyllis's earlier tapes of demolition of his daughter's letters.
