截至今日,看似平等、公義的社會仍存在不平等待遇,而我們必須承認,「女性主義」處在這樣的環境下,竟也被許多人根深蒂固地認為是一種貶義詞。但不管你是男是女,若你想更加認識何謂女性主義,你該聽聽碧昂絲、喬瑟夫高登李維、莎拉潔西卡派克等明星對它有何看法。
“We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.”—Beyoncé
「我們需要重塑我們對自己的看法。作為一個女人,我們要站出來、掌握局勢。」
“The idea of being a feminist: so many women have come to this idea of it being anti-male and not able to connect with the opposite sex, but what feminism is about is equality and human rights. For me that is just an essential part of my identity.”—Lena Dunham
「很多女人認為,女權就等於是反對男人、反對異性。但真正的女性主義,是在追求平等、以及所有人的人權。而對我來說,這個觀念,成就了我這個人很大很重要的一部份。」
"I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely! It's worth paying attention to the roles that are sort of dictated to us, and that we don't have to fit into those roles. We can be anybody we want to be."—Joseph Gordon-Levitt
「我自詡為女性主義者,我當然是!我覺得認識那些帶領我們的角色是很值得的,而且我們也不一定每個人都要成為那種角色,我們可以當我們想要當的任何一種角色。」
"I took a page from [the playwright] Wendy Wasserstein's book. She said, 'I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist.'"—Sarah Jessica Parker
「我想引用劇作家Wendy Wasserstein書中曾提到的一句話,她說:『我不是一個女權主義者,我是一個人權主義者。』」
“I don’t know why people are so reluctant to say they’re feminists. Could it be any more obvious that we still live in a patriarchal world when feminism is a bad word?”—Ellen Page
「我不知道為什麼人們不願意承認自己是女性主義者,而這不就說明了一件事嗎──我們仍活在一個『女性主義』是個貶義詞的重男輕女的世界?」
At one point, ‘feminist’ became a pejorative term. How did that happen? If you’re a feminist, you’re basically saying you’re a humanist.”—Julianne Moore
「其中一個重點是,『女性主義者』至今仍然是個負面的詞彙,到底為什麼會這樣?如果你是個女性主義者,就代表你基本上也是個人權主義者啊。」
"When women are empowered, they immeasurably improve the lives of everyone around them—their families, their communities, and their countries. This is not just about women; we men need to recognize the part we play too. Real men treat women with dignity and give them the respect they deserve."—Prince Harry
「當女人有權力時,她們會盡最大可能地提升她們週遭人們─包括她們的家人、社會、國家─的生活品質。但這其實不僅僅和女人有關,我們男人也要認清我們所扮演的角色,而真男人也應當以尊重、尊嚴對待女人,這是她們應得的。」
“I’m not ashamed to dress like a woman because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.”—Iggy Pop
「當我穿女人的衣服時,我一點也不感到羞恥,因為我覺得,當一個女人,沒甚麼好感到羞恥的。」
“I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody’s passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn’t mind leading.”—Amy Poehler
「我真的很愛跋扈的女人,我可以和她們相處一整天。而且對我來說,『跋扈』完全不是一個負面的詞彙,這表示這個人充滿熱情、忙碌、充滿野心,並且不會介意帶領別人。」
"Women can't wait for equal pay. And I won't stop fighting to address this inequality."—Barack Obama
「女人的權利不能等,而我不會停止去抗爭、呼籲現今社會的不平等現象。」
不管你所持觀點為何,也不管你怎麼看待這件事,以上這些名人對於女性主義所發表的言論,或許會讓你對女性主義有更進一步的認識也說不定。而儘管社會上有太多歧異的價值觀,但對女權鬥士、反對女權主義的人們來說,革命從來就沒有輕鬆過,就讓我們拭目以待、並做出你覺得是對的行動吧。
