Gender equality is your issue too.
性別平等也是你們的責任。
Because to date, I've seen my father's role as a parent being valued less by society despite my needing his presence as a child as much as my mother's.
因為直至今日,我看到,社會遠遠低估了我父親作為家長所發揮到的作用,盡管對于幼時的我來說,他的存在和母親同等重要。
I've seen young men suffering from mental illness unable to ask for help for fear it would make them less of a man — in fact in the UK suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20-49; eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease.
我看到,男性青年們因為害怕自己顯得不夠“男子漢大丈夫”,即便內心飽受痛苦也窘于尋找外界幫助——而實際情況是,自殺是20~49歲英國男性的第一殺手,比交通事故、癌癥、冠心病造成的死亡都多。
I've seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success.
我看到,因為人們對“男性成功”的扭曲理解,男性同胞們變得脆弱,缺乏安全感。
Men don't have the benefits of equality either.
性別不平等對男性也沒有任何好處。
We don't often talk about men being imprisoned through gender stereotypes but I can see that that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence.
其實,傳統的性別觀念也束縛了男性同胞。但是我們很少談及這點。可是我看得出來,事實真的是這樣。當男性也從這些束縛中解放出來時,自然而然,女性的境況也會有所改善。
If men don't have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won't feel compelled to be submissive.
如果男性不必那么好勇斗狠,那么女性也不會感到被迫惟命是從。
If men don't have to control, women won't have to be controlled.
如果男性不必掌控一切,那么女性也無需俯首帖耳。
Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive.
男人和女人都可以敏感。
Both men and women should feel free to be strong…
男人和女人都可以強壯……
It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals.
是時候,把性別理解為一個大范圍內的概念,而非南轅北轍的兩個對立概念。
