In 2012, Kunal Modi, a student at Harvard's Kennedy School, wrote an article imploring men to "Man Up on Family and Workplace Issues."
2012年，哈佛肯尼迪學院的學生庫納爾·莫迪寫了一篇文章，真誠地呼吁男性“在家庭和事業問題上都拿出男人的樣子”。
He argued that "for the sake of American corporate performance and shareholder returns,
他認為，“為了美國企業的業績和股東收益，
men must play an active role in ensuring that the most talented young workers (often women .) are being encouraged to advocate for their career advancement...
男性應該發揮活躍的作用，確保最有才干的年輕人（常常是女性）能受到鼓勵去爭取事業上的進步……
So men, let's get involved now,
所以，男人們，現在就參與進去吧，
and not in a patronizing manner that marginalizes this as some altruistic act on behalf of our mothers, wives, and daughters,
不是以一種為了自己母親、妻子和女兒利益的無私姿態，
but on behalf of ourselves, our companies, and the future of our country.
而是為了我們自己、我們的公司和國家的未來。”
I applaud Kunal's message, especially his focus on active engagement.
我相當贊賞庫納爾的觀點，尤其贊賞他對男性主動參與這項運動的積極主張。
Men of all ages must commit to changing the leadership ratios.
所有年齡段的男性都應該為改變領導層性別比例而努力，
They can start by actively seeking out qualified female candidates to hire and promote.
他們可以從主動挖掘資質足以被雇用和提拔的女性候選人開始。
And if qualified candidates cannot be found, then we need to invest in more recruiting, mentoring, and sponsoring so women can get the necessary experience.
如果暫時找不到，就應該在招聘、指導、贊助等方面增加投入，這樣女性就有機會得到必要的經驗。
An "us versus them" crusade will not move us toward true equality.
“我們vs他們”的模式將男性與女性對立起來，它不能把我們推向真正的平等；
Nor will an "us versus us" crusade, which U.C. Hastings law professor Joan Williams calls the "gender wars."
“我們vs我們”的女性自我競爭也達不到這個目標。用加州大學黑斯廷斯法學院法學教授瓊·威廉姆斯的話來說，這都是“性別的戰爭”。
These wars are being waged on many fronts,
這些戰爭包括很多條戰線，
but the mommy wars, which pit mothers who work outside the home against mothers who work inside the home, attract the most attention.
不過，把全職母親和上班族母親對立起來的“母親大戰”最引人注意。
