My Summary:
The author Eliana Dockterman’s article “Don’t Tear Down Patricia Arquette for a Well-Intentioned Speech” focuses on the speech of Patricia Arquette, accepted her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Patricia Arquette advocates for wage equality for women in the United States of America, but many people attack her that her words are just like gay people and people of color have achieved equality while women have not. The author thinks the reason of being attacked is Feminism has often been charged with only fighting for white women’s right, not all women’s right. Therefore, the author considers she had right intentions, despite her imperfect words, because what she said is the truth. He suggested that we are supposed to not criticized people on words but ignore the most important point they truly try to convey to us.
My nice friend Steve, who is from Canada, revised the article for me. Provide to everyone for reference.
