A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
女权主义
Feminist
I merged those two words, black and feminist, because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes.
我把“黑人”和“女权主义者”这两个词合在一起,因为我身边的黑人女性都很坚强,她们总是认为自己必须工作、抚养孩子和管理家庭。
Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women's liberation... none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.
所有对妇女解放的恶劣后果的预测…从女权主义者的角度来看,没有什么比女性最终会变得和男性一样更令人担忧的了。
So, when the discussion about not using the term feminist came up at a conference workshop, I couldn't believe it. The more I listened, the more I felt the need to express my passion about my identity as a feminist.
所以,当在一次研讨会上讨论不使用女权主义这个词时,我简直不敢相信。我听的越多,就越觉得有必要表达我作为女权主义者的激情。
The issue of gender was never my biggest concern; my biggest concern was doing good work. When the feminist movement really got going, I wasn't an active part of it because I was more concerned with my own mental pursuits.
性别问题从来都不是我最关心的问题;我最关心的是做好工作。当女权运动真正开始时,我并没有积极参与,因为我更关心自己的精神追求。
I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one's more feminist than me, but you don't have to look as if you don't give a - you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself.
我喜欢长得像女人的女人。我讨厌乏味的东西。没有人比我更女权主义了,但你不必表现得好像你不在乎。你可以聪明、聪明,在审美上吸引别人,也吸引自己。
I am a feminist, and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black: it means that I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect.
我是一名女权主义者,这对我的意义与我是黑人这一事实的意义大致相同:这意味着我必须爱自己,尊重自己,就像我的生命依赖于自爱和自尊一样。
I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
我是一个女权主义者,但我认为对于我们这一代人来说,浪漫已经被剥夺了一些。我认为人们在小说中所接触到的是一种压倒一切的、包容一切的爱——它比任何其他东西都更重要、更特别。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I think for a long time it seemed like working in an art form and being a feminist meant portraying women in a perfect, angelic light. And there's nothing feminist about that.
我认为,在很长一段时间里,这似乎是一种艺术形式,作为一名女权主义者意味着要用完美的天使般的视角来描绘女性。这一点也不像女权主义。
I am confident, I am capable, and I will not wait to be rescued by a woodsman or a hunter.
我有信心,我有能力,我不会等待一个樵夫或猎人来拯救我。
I'm a feminist, yes! Very strongly.
我是女权主义者,是的!非常强烈。
I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the anti-war movement better than I did.
我希望我能比自己更好地在女权运动和反战运动之间架起桥梁。
One of the biggest problems with the modern feminist movement is its failure to bring men along with us.
现代女权主义运动最大的问题之一是它没能把男性带进我们身边。
As a result of the feminist revolution, 'feminine' becomes an abusive epithet.
由于女权主义革命的结果,“女性化”成了一个侮辱性的绰号。
