每週五「Love Yourself」專欄-趁著週末到來前,從她們身上學習一堂關於人生的課
Emma Watson的女權讀書Our Shared Shelf不知不覺已經成立一周年。過去十二個月讀書會讀了九本書,而最新的讀物就是美國劇作家 Eve Ensler的《陰道獨白》(The Vagina Monologues)。筆者多年前看過焦媛實驗劇團上演的版本,一看便愛上。 Eve Ensler是首位將長久以來被噤聲的「陰道」搬上舞台的劇作家,在她之先從來沒有人試過在舞台上公開直呼「陰道」二字。《陰道獨白》公演後引起極大迴響,而Eve Ensler就順勢成立國際運動V-day,希望用群眾的力量結束針對女性的暴力。筆者十分欣賞Eve Ensler的幽默與大膽,還有她那種對信念的堅持,讓Eve Ensler的智慧話語再次提醒我們,要愛自己的身體,當一個敢為自己和他人發聲的女子!
On Solitude
Cherish your solitude.
― Eve Ensler
(譯:珍惜獨處時刻。)
On Hatred & Love
You have to give to the world the thing that you want the most, in order to fix the broken parts inside you.
― Eve Ensler
(譯:你要先將自己最想要的東西給這世界,這樣才能醫治內裡的破碎。)
On Happiness
Three of the ten principles governing the City of Joy are (a) tell the truth, (b) stop waiting to be rescued, and (c) give away what you want the most.
― Eve Ensler, In the Body of the World
(譯:三大快樂原則是:說出真相、不要再等別人拯救自己,還有將自己最想要的先給別人。)
On Body
One of the most radical things women can do is to love their body.
― Eve Ensler
(譯:愛自己的身體,就是其中一樣女人能夠做的最激進的事情。)
Stop fixing your bodies and start fixing the world!
― Eve Ensler
(譯:不要再花時間修理身體,花點時間修理這個世界吧!)
On Men’s Role in Feminist Movements
Unless men are active allies, we’ll never end violence against women and girls.
― Eve Ensler
(譯:除非男人成為積極盟友,否則我們永遠都不能夠結束針對女性的暴力。)
On Activism
I think the thing that has always made me happy is being in the struggle, in a community of struggle with other people.
― Eve Ensler
(譯:一件經常令我感到快樂的事情,就是處於掙扎中而知道自己不是孤軍作戰。)
