近日,美国著名女校维斯理学院(Wellesley College)邀请尼日利亚女作家奇玛曼达·恩戈兹·阿迪契(Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)在2015年毕业典礼上发表演讲。阿迪契与即将踏入社会的女生们分享了她对女权主义的独到见解和一些人生建议,她说,“永远不要因为‘你是个女人’而去做什么或放弃什么。”
演讲要点(献给女孩们):
All over the world, girls are raised to make themselves likeable, to twist themselves into shapes that suit other people. Please do not twist yourself into shapes to please. Don't do it.
全世界的女孩都被教导要让自己惹人喜爱,改造自己去迎合他人,请不要这样做,千万不要。
If someone likes that version of you, that version of you that is false and holds back, then they actually just like that twisted shape, and not you. And the world is such a gloriously multifaceted, diverse place that there are people in the world who will like you, the real you as you are.
如果有人喜欢那样的你,那个虚假的有所隐瞒的你,那他们喜欢的只是那个虚影,而不是你。世界那么奇妙多样化,总有人会喜欢真实的你,那个你原本的样子。
Teach your students to see that vulnerability is a HUMAN rather than a FEMALE trait. Commission magazine articles that teach men HOW TO KEEP A WOMAN HAPPY. Because there are already too many articles that tell women how to keep a man happy.
