📍 On the Basis of Sex (2018) takes us back to 1956, where gender discrimination was deeply rooted in Harvard Law School. Out of hundreds of students, only nine women were admitted — and Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of them.

At a formal dinner hosted by Dean Erwin Griswold, the event was disguised as a “welcome,” but it was really an act of prejudice. Each woman was asked to stand and explain why she deserved to take “a man’s rightful spot” at Harvard. 💼⚖️

One nervous classmate bravely said she refused to follow her family’s path of becoming a teacher or nurse, and instead wanted to study law. Yet the dean coldly interrupted, frowning: “That’s not a good reason.” The humiliation silenced the room.

Then it was Ruth’s turn. She took a deep breath, her mind flashing with the dean’s arrogance. With a sweet but sarcastic smile, she replied: “Dean, my husband is a second-year law student here. I came to Harvard to better understand his work — so that I can become a more patient and understanding wife.” 💥💃

The girls chuckled softly, recognizing Ruth’s clever satire. The dean’s face darkened in shock, caught speechless. In that moment, Ruth transformed humiliation into resistance, using wit to strike back at prejudice. 🌟✊
