One of the most thinkable movies ever. How easy one (a man) can erase a woman's importance and significance by a look and not be true. Please see and reflect

Too Real reminder how bad and creepy also seemingly “good men” can be.. And how are having it also in “good schools” . I feel so sad due to similar things happening in real world.
