    Mrs. America

    In the 1970s, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly (Cate Blanchett) led a surprising campaign against the equal rights amendment (era)  sports.  Let's walk through her and a group of second-wave feminists—Gloria Steinem (Rose Byrne), Betty Friedan (Tracey O.  Herman), Shirley Chisholm (Uzo Aduba), Bella Abzug (Margo Martindale) and Jill Lackershaus  (Jill Ruckelshaus, Elizabeth Banks) - Re-witness how one of the most important battles in the culture wars of the 1970s forever changed the political landscape of modern America.

    Put Dou first (Ban film review:

    Author: Sicilian Reader (from Douban)

    "Mrs. America" ??is a rare series with a "villain" as the main character. Cate Blanchett plays Phyllis, a conservative who opposes feminism, gay rights and abortion legalization  represent.

    What kind of person is a person, and on what grounds do they dare to oppose these things that seem so right and proper today?

    This article is divided into three parts. The first part explains in detail the reasons for the opposition of the big devil as a conservative; the second part introduces the rise of the second feminist movement in the United States and the failure of the Amendment to the Bill of Rights;  The dilemma of the political circle and the less obvious expressions of praise and criticism in the play.

    This article is not a pile of historical events, but to explain what American women are fighting for and the reasons for their success or failure.

    1. Why are conservatives anti-feminists and anti-equality between men and women?

    The obvious question is, what exactly is the Equal Rights Amendment (era for short) that the Big Devil is against?  In fact, the bill is very short, only three sentences:

    Paragraph 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or restricted by the United States or by any state on the grounds of gender relations.

    Section 2 Congress shall have power to adopt appropriate legislation to implement the provisions of this article.

    Paragraph 3 This amendment will take effect two years after the date of ratification.

    What is there to object to this seemingly natural law?  In fact, the main reason is that people have different understandings of the word "equality".  Here we explain it in conjunction with a speech given by the Great Demon King at the end of the first episode.

    The Great Demon King said that she does not object to women going out to work, which is personal freedom. What she opposes is people's "war" against housewives.  Just like the hostility towards housewives in our society now, it seems that there is something wrong with a woman who does not work, as if she has become a "parasite" for her husband. Further, many feminists compare marriage to a comfortable "concentration camp"  .

    Another objection is to interpret the abstract meaning of equality between men and women as the same as men and women, for example, women are also forced to join the army, such as gender-neutral shared bathrooms.  Now California has expanded the gender column to six in the questionnaire, and has implemented third-gender restrooms in many public schools.

    (The conscription system in the United States was still implemented before 1973, that is, joining the army was decided by lottery and was compulsory, which is different from our current voluntary military service system)

    The reason for all this is that imposing one-size-fits-all equality regardless of the differences between men and women is impractical and does more harm than good.

    God was made from Adam's rib, which is the source of the argument often cited by the Great Devil. Of course, this argument is a bit far-fetched for the Chinese, but for Americans with strong religious traditions at that time, this cannot be questioned, that is, God  When humans were created, men and women were different.  (Of course, if we don’t believe in religion, we will also agree that men and women are born different)

    This has directly led to the overwhelming majority of men working in the military and police, and the overwhelming majority of working women such as nurses and dancers.  Only women can give birth to children. At that time, many American states passed laws to protect women's employment and personal rights, which can be understood as the American version of the "Women and Children Protection Act". If equality in an absolute sense is really required, these protection measures  It should also be cancelled.  In addition, in American divorce, men generally pay women alimony. If there is absolute equality, will this right also disappear?

    The work of housewives is as important as the work of men outside the home. The responsibility of raising children has always been the role of women in traditional families, and children are the future of mankind, so any remarks that slander housewives will definitely be countered by the heroine.  Especially the character of the big devil has 6 children in the play.

    Of course, what she mentioned in her speech, the conscription of women and shared toilets for men and women, will most likely not appear.  But it is this formulation that makes anti-feminist?——————————————

    This film was shot very well. First of all, the script is very good. There have been too many female-themed dramas in recent years, and I have recommended it to you many times. The previous popular "Fatal Woman" is also a female group portrait + era background, but the script and this  Department ratio is still weaker.

    The first perspective of this movie is relatively novel. The heroine is definitely a villain in other female-themed dramas. She is a conservative woman who is anti-feminist, anti-affirmative action, anti-abortion, and a standard anti-feminist pioneer.

    The observation of women's status from her perspective is really interesting. She has her own strength, but she also relies on male power to realize her ambitions, and her family life is also happy. It can be said that she is a vested interest + a winner in life, but many details are still suffocating.  Don’t worry, I’m not abusive, but I feel aggrieved. For example, when everyone is seriously discussing important national affairs, I found that there is no one to take meeting minutes. I glanced around and saw that you are the only woman. Okay, you take meeting minutes!  Completely disregarding that you are speaking, and the quality of your speech is much higher than that of your colleagues.

    There are a lot of similar details, if you bring it up, it seems trivial or glass-hearted, but in fact it makes people feel uncomfortable, because I have only watched the first episode, so the future development trend is not very clear.  Clear, but the whole rhythm of this one is very right.

    Especially cb's acting skills are very good. At the beginning, I was actually afraid that she would be too strong and elite in it, making it hard for people to empathize. After all, the big devil is the big devil.  In addition, I would like to recommend her "Blue Jasmine". I personally think that her acting skills in this film are considered to be my best. She plays a vain wife of a rich man. The bluff and posturing after bankruptcy is really a must.  Well, before I watched Blue Jasmine, I never thought she was suitable to play a small character, after all, her own aura and temperament are there, but the embarrassment shown in several places in this movie is like a complete joke, which is both ridiculous and pitiful.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
