原文及翻译
Women are choosing not to identify as feminist, apparently. I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men, unattractive even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one?
显然,女性选择不承认自己是女权主义者。我属于那些表达方式过于强烈、过于激进、孤立、反男性、甚至缺乏吸引力的女性。为什么这个词变得如此令人不快?
I am from Britain, and I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and the decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.
我来自英国,我认为我和男性同事获得同等报酬是正确的。我认为我应该有权决定自己的身体。我认为女性代表我参与影响我生活的政策和决定是正确的。我认为在社会上,我应该得到与男性相同的尊重。
But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality. Thank you very, very much.
但遗憾的是,我可以说,世界上没有一个国家可以让所有女性都获得这些权利。世界上还没有一个国家可以说他们已经实现了性别平等。非常感谢。
