Excerpt from Emma Watson's speech on gender equality at the United Nations Headquarters
节选自Emma Watson's在联合国总部做的关于男女平等的演讲——
Gender equality is your issue too. 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. I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it would make them look less of a man—in fact in the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20-49 years of age, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality either.We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes, but I can see that they are. And when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence.
性别平等也与你们（男人）有关。因为到目前为止，我看到我父亲作为家长所发挥的作用被社会所低估，虽然作为孩子我所需要的他的陪伴和我需要母亲的一样多。我看到年轻男性因为害怕自己显得不够“男子汉大丈夫”，从而在承受心理困扰时窘于寻求帮助——事实上在英国自杀已经是20-49岁男性的第一死亡原因，比交通事故、癌症和冠心病造成的死亡都多。我看到男人因为对男性成功的扭曲理解而感到脆弱和不安全。性别不平等对男性也没有好处，我们并不常谈及男人因为性别歧视而“失去自由”，不过我可以看到，事情真是这样，并且当他们自由时，女性的境遇也会自然发生变化。
If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong… It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideas.If we stop defining each other by what we are not, and start defining ourselves by what we are—we can all be freer. And this is what HeForShe is about. It’s about freedom.
如果男性不再为了被认可而变得强势好斗，女性也不会再感到被迫逆来顺受。如果男性不再被迫掌控一切，女性也不会再被迫受掌控。男人和女人都可以敏感；男人和女人都可以强壮……是时候把性别理解为同一光谱，而不是南辕北辙的两派。如果我们不再把对方定义为自己的对立面，而是把对方定义为我们的一员——我们都会更加自由。这就是“他为她”运动所倡导的。这就是自由。
I want men to take up this mantle. So their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice, but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too—reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned, and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves.
我希望男性负起这个责任。这样他们的女儿、姐妹和母亲都能够拥有免于偏见的自由，同时他们的儿子也能被允许脆弱和感性——拥有这些他们曾经摈弃的特质，他们才是更真实和完整的自己。
