[Viewer discretion is advised]

"Ashley Judd, stupid fucking slut.

「Ashley Judd，正一無知蕩婦。」

"You can't sue someone for calling them a cunt."

「人哋話你臭閪關你撚事咩。」

"If you can't handle the Internet, fuck off, whore."

「網路就係咁㗎啦，

你睇唔過眼就死開啦，八婆！」

"I wish Ashley Judd would die a horrible death.

「我求神拜佛 Ashley Judd 不得好死。

She is the absolute worst."

我未見過咁仆街嘅人。」

"Ashley Judd, you're the reason women shouldn't vote."

「Ashley Judd 就係點解 女人唔應該有投票權。」

"'Twisted' is such a bad movie,

「演《熄燈追緝令》嗰個八婆，

I don't even want to rape it."

畀我屌我都唔屌。」

"Whatever you do,

「咪理 Ashley Judd 個粉腸啦！

don't tell Ashley Judd. She'll die alone with a dried out vagina."

等佢成世無人屌，孤獨終老。」

"If I had to fuck an older woman,

「如果係都要我上佢，你老味，

oh my God,

I would fuck the shit out of Ashley Judd,

Ashley Judd 我一定會搞到你瀨屎。

that bitch is hot af.

條八婆絕對係淫婦，

The unforgivable shit I would do to her."

我唔搞死佢正契弟。」

Online misogyny is a global gender rights tragedy,

針對女性嘅網路暴力 對全球兩性平權而言係悲劇

and it is imperative that it ends.

務必制止，刻不容緩

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Girls' and women's voices,

無論少女抑或婦女嘅聲音

and our allies' voices are constrained in ways

甚至我哋女性同盟嘅聲音都被打壓

that are personally, economically,

令無論係個人、經濟 職業定政治層面都深受其害

professionally and politically damaging.

And when we curb abuse,

只有阻止欺凌

we will expand freedom.

我哋先可以獲得更多自由

I am a Kentucky basketball fan,

我係肯塔基籃球隊嘅球迷

so on a fine March day last year,

上年三月某一日

I was doing one of the things I do best:

我做緊我平日最鍾意做嘅事

I was cheering for my Wildcats.

到場為我最愛嘅山貓隊加油

The daffodils were blooming,

諗住好好咁睇場波

but the referees were not blowing the whistle when I was telling them to.

但之後我見到犯規 想提裁判吹罰，裁判都冇做

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Funny, they're very friendly to me before the opening tip,

搞笑嘅係，佢哋喺開波之前對我好友善

but they really ignore me during the game.

但比賽過程中就完全冇理我

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Three of my players were bleeding, so I did the next best thing ...

我哋隊三名球員俾人侵犯至流血

於是我又做咗件事︰發推特

I tweeted.

[@ArkRazorback dirty play can kiss my team's free throw making a --

「@ArkRazorback 打矛波， 抵罰球啦。

@KySportsRadio @marchmadness @espn 三名球員都俾佢整傷。」

@KySportsRadio @marchmadness @espn Bloodied 3 players so far.]

毫無意外，我每日都喺推特、臉書 呢啲社交媒體

It is routine for me to be treated in the ways I've already described to you.

It happens to me every single day

俾人用好似開場講嘅嗰啲說話 鬧到隻狗咁

on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

Since I joined Twitter in 2011,

2011 年我開始玩推特之後

misogyny and misogynists have amply demonstrated

歧視女性嘅人總係 留意著我做嘅每一樣嘢

they will dog my every step.

My spirituality, my faith,

包括我倡議嘅精神、我嘅信念

being a hillbilly -- I can say that, you can't --

我甚至俾人話係鄉下婆

all of it is fair game.

所有嘢都無一倖免俾人攻擊

And I have responded to this with various strategies.

於是我對用唔同方法回應

I've tried engaging people.

我試過同佢哋接觸

This one guy was sending me hypersexual, nasty stuff,

但有個男人發超淫穢、超核突嘅相畀我

and there was a girl in his avatar.

裏邊有一個女仔同佢一齊

I wrote him back and said ...

我咁樣覆返佢

"Is that your daughter?

「圖中個女仔係你個女吖？

I feel a lot of fear that you may think about

我真係好驚啊， 你竟然諗埋曬咁核突嘅嘢，

and talk to women this way."

仲咁樣同女性講嘢！」

And he surprised me by saying,

然後佢嘅回覆令我意想不到

"You know what? You're right. I apologize."

「你講得啱，我向你道歉。」

Sometimes people want to be held accountable.

有時候人嘅良知需要被提醒

This one guy was musing to I don't know who

呢個男人根本都唔知同緊邊個玩

that maybe I was the definition of a cunt.

佢又大概當咗我係壞嘅女人

I was married to a Scot for 14 years,

我同一個蘇格蘭男人結婚 14 年

so I said, "Cunt means many different things in different countries --

我話︰「壞女人」 喺唔同國家有唔同意思

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

but I'm pretty sure you epitomize the global standard of a dick."

不過我肯定你絕對係賤男中嘅極品

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

(Applause)

（掌聲）

I've tried to rise above it, I've tried to get in the trenches,

我曾經反抗同努力迎戰 呢啲針對女性嘅說話

but mostly I would scroll through these social media platforms

但係喺上社交平台嘅大部分時間裡面

with one eye partially closed, trying not to see it,

我隻眼開隻眼閉，費事理

but you can't make a cucumber out of a pickle.

覺得無能為力

What is seen goes in.

但又覺得不堪入目、好傷心

It's traumatic.

And I was always secretly hoping in some part of me

所以我成日暗暗安慰自己

that what was being said to me and about me wasn't ...

嗰啲攻擊我嘅、講緊我嘅評論 並非真實

true.

Because even I,

即使我一個自稱女權主義者嘅人

an avowed, self-declared feminist,

願為女權聖戰拋頭顱撒熱血…

who worships at the altar of Gloria --

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

internalize the patriarchy.

內心都接受咗男權主義

This is really critical.

真係好攞命

Patriarchy is not boys and men.

男權主義並非狹義為男性

It is a system in which we all participate,

而係我哋活喺呢個世界嘅一種制度

including me.

冇人，包括我，可以獨善其身

On that particular day, for some reason,

就喺嗰日，某種原因

that particular tweet after the basketball game

我發嘅嗰條籃球推特 刺激咗全球一班「網路暴民」

triggered something called a "cyber mob."

This vitriolic, global outpouring of the most heinous hate speech:

用最尖酸、最惡毒嘅語言威脅我

death threats, rape threats.

話要打要殺要奸咁

And don't you know,

你知嗎

when I was sitting at home alone in my nightgown,

當我夜晚獨坐家中

我收到我前夫發嚟嘅一條語音短訊

I got a phone call, and it was my beloved former husband,

and he said on a voice mail,

"Loved one ...

「莉莉……

what is happening to you is not OK."

嗰啲人嘅行為實在太惡劣喇。」

And there was something about him taking a stand for me that night ...

正因佢當晚一番話，我決心要企出嚟

that allowed me to take a stand for myself.

And I started to write.

我開始寫作

I started to write about sharing the fact

寫我面對各種性騷擾之後

that I'm a survivor of all forms of sexual abuse,

包括三次強姦之後，我係點樣撐過嚟

including three rapes.

但我因為寫作而收到惡意評論

And the hate speech I get in response to that --

these are just some of the comments posted to news outlets.

呢啲係其中一啲惡意評論

Being told I'm a "snitch" is really fun.

而且我想講，被人叫做「 二五仔 」 真係過癮！

[Jay: She enjoyed every second of it!!!!!]

（ Jay：「佢都不知幾享受 俾人搞嘅每一秒！」）

Audience: Oh, Lord Jesus.

觀眾：天呀，搞錯吖！

Ashley Judd: Thank you, Jesus. May your grace and mercy shine.

講者：多謝你哋 我都希望上天會睇得到

So, I wrote this feminist op-ed, it is entitled,

所以我寫咗篇女性專欄

題為「你對女性所作嘅網路暴力 只會引嚟女性審判你」

"Forget Your Team:

It Is Your Online Gender Violence Toward Girls And Women

That Can Kiss My Righteous Ass."

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

(Applause)

（掌聲）

And I did that alone, and I published it alone,

我孤身作戰，自己發表文章

because my chief advisor said,

因為我嘅顧問勸我

"Please don't,

「唔好寫出街，

the rain of retaliatory garbage that is inevitable --

網路暴民報復於無形，

I fear for you."

你只會令我替你擔心。」

But I trust girls and I trust women,

不過我信任各位女性

and I trust our allies.

信任同我哋志同道合嘅人

It was published, it went viral,

文章發表之後被瘋傳

it proves that every single day

亦證明每日針對女性嘅網路暴行 已經成為全世界普遍嘅現象

online misogyny is a phenomenon endured by us all,

all over the world,

牽連我哋所有人

and when it is intersectional,

而且一旦多過一種問題俾人插嗰陣

it is worse.

情況更甚

Sexual orientation, gender identity,

性傾向、性別認同、種族、民族 以至宗教都可以俾人抨擊

race, ethnicity, religion --

you name it,

it amplifies the violence endured by girls and women,

以上種種嘅批評 只會加深女性經歷嘅傷害

and for our younger girls, it is worse.

特別係對年輕女性

It's clearly traumatizing.

到最後，批評只會傷害女性

Our mental health, our emotional well-being

女性嘅身心健康亦因此被嚴重損害

are so gravely affected

because the threat of violence

出現同遇到暴力時一樣嘅生理反應

is experienced neurobiologically as violence.

The cortisol shoots up, the limbic system gets fired,

皮質醇會激增，大腦邊緣系統會受損

we lose productivity at work.

生產力會因而下降

And let's talk about work.

另外，喺工作方面，女性受到諸多束縛

Our ability to work is constrained.

Online searches of women applying for jobs reveal nude pictures of them,

求職嘅女性先喺網上被洩露裸照

false allegations they have STDs,

然後被人話係有性病

their addresses indicating that they are available for sex

佢哋嘅住址被惡意公開，用嚟招攬嫖客

with real examples

最後真係引嚟嫖客上門

of people showing up at this house for said sex.

Our ability to go to school is impaired.

我哋喺學校亦受到騷擾

96 percent of all postings

96% 喺網路發佈嘅色情圖像 都係影後生女

of sexual images of our young people ...

girls.

Our girls.

係，我哋嘅女仔

Our boys are two to three times more likely --

男仔比女仔高出二至三倍 喺未經同意情況下互傳圖片

nonconsensually --

to share images.

And I want to say a word about revenge porn.

關於報復式散佈色情，我想講

Part of what came out of this tweet

呢一次推特貼文事件嘅來龍去脈係

was my getting connected with allies and other activists

我連絡志同道合 一齊爭取網路安全同自由

who are fighting for a safe and free internet.

We started something called the Speech Project;

我哋開頭建立名為 Speech Project 嘅網站

curbing abuse, expanding freedom.

抵制網路暴力，伸張自由

And that website provides a critical forum,

個網站係一個非常重要嘅平台

because there is no global, legal thing

因為到而家都未有國際合法嘅組織 應對針對女性嘅網路暴行

to help us figure this out.

But we do provide on that website a standardized list of definitions,

但係我哋可以做嘅就係 喺呢個網站度列出明確嘅定義

because it's hard to attack a behavior in the right way

因為如果我哋無統一界定標準

if we're not all sharing a definition of what that behavior is.

就唔可以準確打擊暴力

And I learned that revenge porn is often dangerously misapplied.

我又發現報復式色情圖文 經常被危險使用

It is the nonconsensual sharing of an image

嗰啲未經同意情況下轉發嘅圖片 都係用嚟刻意羞辱、侮辱女性

used tactically to shame and humiliate a girl or woman

that attempts to pornography us.

試圖色情化女性

Our natural sexuality is --

我唔知大家對「女性美」嘅定義係點

I don't know about yours -- pretty gorgeous and wonderful.

我認為「女性美」本身係美麗、美好嘅

And my expressing it does not pornography make.

而唔應該表現為色情淫穢

(Applause)

（掌聲）

So, I have all these resources

我深知我有嘅資源同力量 係世界上好多人都冇

that I'm keenly aware so many people in the world do not.

I was able to start the Speech Project with colleagues.

譬如話，我能夠同我嘅同事 創建 Speech Project 網站

I can often get a social media company's attention.

我經常能夠引起社交媒體關注

I have a wonderful visit to Facebook HQ coming up.

我遲啲仲會去臉書總部參觀

Hasn't helped the idiotic reporting standards yet ...

不過仲未解決到差劣嘅報導手法…

I actually pay someone to scrub my social media feeds,

我仲請人幫我刪除網路嘅惡意評論

attempting to spare my brain

令我耳根清淨

the daily iterations of the trauma of hate speech.

唔使受惡意評論影響

And guess what?

但係你估唔到 有人因為咁走嚟鬧我

I get hate speech for that.

"Oh, you live in an echo chamber."

「超，你咪活喺 一個只有你聲音嘅世界囖。」

Well, guess what?

Having someone post a photograph of me with my mouth open

但正因為有人發咗張性騷擾嘅相畀我

saying they "can't wait to cum on my face,"

並且喺上面寫著想顏射我

I have a right to set that boundary.

所以我有權捍衛我嘅底線

(Applause)

（掌聲）

And this distinction between virtual and real is specious

虛擬同現實只係一線之差

because guess what --

點解咁講呢？你哋可能唔知

that actually happened to me once when I was a child,

我細個真係被性侵犯過

and so that tweet brought up that trauma,

所以嗰條推特鉤起咗我嘅傷痛

and I had to do work on that.

我唔可以再軟弱無為

But you know what we do? We take all of this hate speech,

知唔知我哋採取咩行動？

我哋收集所有惡意評論，然後分析

and we disaggregate it,

and we code it,

編配意思，提取數據

and we give that data

so that we understand the intersectionality of it:

從而理解當中嘅關係：

when I get porn,

幾時同性騷擾有關

when it's about political affiliation,

幾時同政治聯繫有關

when it's about age, when it's about all of it.

幾時同年齡有關

幾時係同所有嘢有關

We're going to win this fight.

我哋會贏呢場仗嘅！

There are a lot of solutions --

好在解決問題嘅辦法有好多

thank goodness.

I'm going to offer just a few,

我會講其中幾種辦法

and of course I challenge you to create and contribute your own.

當然好歡迎你哋出謀獻策

Number one: we have to start with digital media literacy,

第一：我哋必須從數碼媒體嘅知識著手

and clearly it must have a gendered lens.

我哋要建立一個從女性角度出發嘅視野

Kids, schools, caregivers, parents:

兒童、學校、監護人、父母 都係我哋嘅對象

it's essential.

Two ...

第二

shall we talk about our friends in tech?

我哋不如講下科技行業嘅人？

Said with dignity and respect,

因為關乎女性嘅尊嚴同尊重

the sexism in your workplaces must end.

所以職場性別歧視必須停止

(Applause)

（掌聲）

(Cheers)

（歡呼聲）

EDGE,

EDGE 係全球性別平等嘅認證

the global standard for gender equality,

is the minimum standard.

亦係我哋最低要求

And guess what, Silicon Valley?

如果連歐萊雅集團 喺印度、菲律賓、巴西

If L'Oréal in India,

in the Philippines, in Brazil

同俄羅斯嘅分公司都可以達到標準

and in Russia can do it,

you can, too.

矽谷同樣得

Enough excuses.

唔好再揾藉口喇

Only when women have critical mass in every department at your companies,

只有女性喺每個企業部門裏面 有著重要份量

including building platforms from the ground up,

兼且建立支援女性嘅平台

will the conversations about priorities and solutions change.

性別平等問題先至可以得到重視同解決

And more love for my friends in tech:

我仲想同科技界嘅朋友講︰

profiteering off misogyny in video games must end.

利用電玩遊戲裏邊 悔辱女性嘅元素賺錢必須停止

I'm so tired of hearing you talk to me at cocktail parties --

我唔想再見到

like you did a couple weeks ago in Aspen --

——好似幾個星期前 喺阿斯彭某個酒會度

about how deplorable #Gamergate was,

你哋一面譴責「 玩家門 」戲謔女性

when you're still making billions of dollars off games

一面繼續以殘害及摔打女性為遊戲賣點

that maim and dump women for sport.

從遊戲之中賺數以十億美元利潤

Basta! -- as the Italians would say.

俗啲講句

夠嘞！我真喺頂你唔順

Enough.

（歡呼聲、掌聲）

(Applause)

Our friends in law enforcement have much to do,

我哋嘅執法人員更需要維持法紀

because we've seen

因為我哋見到個人暴力 已經延伸到網路暴力

that online violence is an extension of in-person violence.

In our country,

喺美國

more girls and women have been murdered by their intimate partners

被男性親密伴侶殺害嘅女性 比 9.11 當中遇害嘅女性仲要多

than died on 9/11

and have died since in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

比起喺阿富汗加埋伊拉克中 喪生嘅美國人仲要多

And it's not cool to say that,

呢啲嘢唔應該攞出嚟講，不過係事實

but it is true.

We care so much geopolitically about what men are doing over there

我哋非常關心一笪地方嘅男性 點樣對待女性

to women over there ...

In 2015,

2015 年

72,828 women used intimate partner violence services in this country.

美國有 72,828 名女性 因為伴侶暴力問題尋求援助

That is not counting the girls and women and boys who needed them.

我哋唔係要知道幾多人需要援助

Law enforcement must be empowered

而係我哋希望執法者需要有 最新嘅網路科技、設備

with up-to-date internet technology,

the devices and an understanding of these platforms --

how they work.

同埋理解呢啲平台點樣運作

The police wanted to be helpful when Amanda Hess called

警方曾經處理一宗 女士喺推特收到死亡恐嚇嘅案件

about the death threat she was getting on Twitter,

but they couldn't really when they said,

但警方束手無策，仲問返轉頭︰

"What's Twitter?"

「 推特係乜嚟？」

Our legislators must write and pass astute legislation

我哋需要新嘅法例去追得上今日嘅科技

that reflects today's technology

and our notions of free and hate speech.

同埋保障言論自由之餘 又可以杜絕仇恨言論

In New York recently, the law could not be applied to a perpetrator

但最近紐約一名被告脫罪嘅事令人失望

because the crimes must have been committed --

原因係警方認為匿名或非匿名犯案

even if it was anonymous --

they must have been committed by telephone, in mail,

必須要通過電話、郵件、電報嚟犯案

by telegraph --

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

The language must be technologically neutral.

演講言辭必須科學中立

So apparently,

但好明顯，我嘅言詞真係太大膽

I've got a pretty bold voice.

So, let's talk about our friends ...

咁我哋嚟講下白人男性

white men.

You have a role to play and a choice to make.

白人男性喺社會裏邊都有角色 亦有決定要做

You can do something,

身為白人男性嘅你可以貢獻一分力量

or you can do nothing.

亦都可以置之不理

We're cool in this room,

喺呢個演講廳度 大家白人男性都唔出聲

but when this goes out, everyone will say,

但一出咗呢個門，所有人都會話

"Oh my God, she's a reverse racist."

「噢，天哪， 佢係逆向歧視主義嘅人。」

That quote was said by a white man, Robert Moritz,

呢句話係一位叫 Robert Moritz 嘅 白人男士講嘅

chairperson, PricewaterhouseCoopers,

佢係羅兵咸永道會計師事務所主席

he asked me to include it in my talk.

係佢叫我喺演講入面講返呢件事出嚟

We need to grow support lines and help groups,

所以我哋需要更多互助小組

so victims can help each other

以便受害者嘅生活或者財政出現問題時

when their lives and finances have been derailed.

大家可以互相幫助

We must as individuals disrupt gender violence as it is happening.

當性暴力發生嘅時候 我哋每個人必須奮起抵抗

92 percent of young people

92% 29 歲以下嘅年輕人 遇過網路上面嘅性暴力

29 and under witness it.

72 percent of us have witnessed it.

我哋當中 72% 嘅人又曾經遇到過

We must have the courage and urgency

所以我哋要必須鼓起勇氣

to practice stopping it as it is unfolding.

停止蘊釀緊嘅性暴力風氣

And lastly,

最後，請大家相信我

believe her.

Believe her.

相信我

(Applause)

（掌聲、歡呼聲）

This is fundamentally a problem of human interaction.

呢個係人類之間互動嘅一個根本問題

And as I believe that human interaction is at the core of our healing,

但我相信互動係解決問題嘅核心所在

trauma not transformed will be trauma transferred.

問題唔解決只會延續落去

Edith Wharton said, "The end is latent in the beginning,"

Edith Wharton 話過︰ 「 結局隱藏喺開端 」

so we are going to end this talk replacing hate speech with love speech.

所以嚟到演講最尾 等我哋一齊為善去惡

Because I get lonely in this,

雖然我一直孤身作戰

but I know that we are allies.

但係我知道我哋係同一陣線

I recently learned

最近我學到誠意同肯定 點樣化解惡性互動

about how gratitude and affirmations offset negative interactions.

It takes five of those to offset one negative interaction,

化解惡性互動有五個要點︰

and gratitude in particular --

需要特別真誠

free, available globally any time, anywhere,

要有時間

可以隨時、隨地、同任何語言嘅人溝通

to anyone in any dialect --

it fires the pregenual anterior cingulate,

做到嘅話，會令到前扣帶迴

a watershed part of the brain

——大腦一個過渡位置

that floods it with great, good stuff.

不斷充斥住美好嘅事物

So I'm going to say awesome stuff about myself.

所以我準備讚下我自己

I would like for you to reflect it back to me.

希望大家畀啲反應

It might sound something like this --

我哋嚟囖嚄，係咁讚嘅吓…

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I am a powerful and strong woman, and you would say, "Yes, you are."

我係有能力又堅強嘅女性，你哋會話？

Audience: Yes, you are.

觀眾：係，你係

Ashley Judd: My mama loves me.

講者︰我阿媽錫我

A: Yes, she does.

觀眾：係，佢鍚你

AJ: I did a great job with my talk.

講者︰我場演講好掂

A: Yes, you did.

觀眾：係，掂吖

AJ: I have a right to be here.

講者︰我有權企喺呢度

A: Yes, you do.

觀眾：係，無錯

AJ: I'm really cute.

講者︰我真係靚爆鏡

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

A: Yes, you are.

觀眾：係，靚曬

AJ: God does good work.

講者︰上帝愛大家

A: Yes, He does.

觀眾：係，上帝愛我

AJ: And I love you.

講者︰我都愛你哋

Thank you so much for letting me be of service.

多謝大家畀我為大家服務

Bless you.

我祝福你哋

(Applause)

（歡呼聲、掌聲）
