在過去幾年， 我們不斷在揭發(fā)男人們的惡行。我們必須做這件事。

e past few years, we've been callingmen out. It had to be done

00:20

（掌聲）

（Applause）

00:22

但最近，我一直在思考我們需要做一項更艱巨的事情。就像我朋友托尼·波特說的那樣，我們需要找到一個方法，讓男性參與到這項事業(yè)。

But lately, I've been thinking we need todo something even harder. We need, as my good friend Tony Porter says, to finda way to call men in.

00:37

我父親在我5歲的時候，開始對我進行性虐待。他會在半夜進到我的房間，看起來神情恍惚。虐待持續(xù)到了我 10歲的時候。當(dāng)我嘗試拒絕他，當(dāng)我終于能夠說“不”，他開始?xì)蛭?。他辱罵我愚蠢，稱我是個撒謊者。

My father began to sexually abuse me when Iwas five years old. He would come into my room in the middle of the night. Heappeared to be in a trance. The abuse continued until I was 10. When I tried toresist him, when I was finally able to say no, he began to beat me. He calledme stupid. He said I was a liar.

01:02

父親對我的性虐待在我10歲的時候停止了，但實際上，從未停止。改變了我。我曾總是滿懷焦慮、愧疚和羞恥的情緒，我也不知道為什么。我討厭自己的身體，我討厭我自己，我病得很重，無法思考，記性也很差。我被危險的男女所吸引，我自愿的——實際上，我很樂意——被糟糕地對待，因為這是我父親教我的，對愛的理解。

The sexual abuse ended when I was 10, butactually, it never ended. It changed who I was. I was filled with anxiety andguilt and shame all the time, and I didn't know why. I hated my body, I hatedmyself, I got sick a lot, I couldn't think, I couldn't remember things. I wasdrawn to dangerous men and women who I allowed -- actually, I invited -- totreat me badly, because that is what my father taught me love was.

01:38

我等待了一生，等著我父親向我道歉。他沒有，也不會這樣做。最近一些男性公眾人物的丑聞 一個個被揭露，我意識到一件事： 我從未聽到過一個犯下強暴或肢體暴力罪名的男性曾向其受害者公開道歉。我開始思考，一個真誠的道歉會是怎樣的？

I waited my whole life for my father toapologize to me. He didn't. He wouldn't. And then, with the recent scandals offamous men, as one after another was exposed, I realized something: I havenever heard a man who has committed rape or physical violence ever publiclyapologize to his victim. I began to wonder, what would an authentic, deepapology be like?

02:20

所以有些奇怪的事情開始發(fā)生。我開始寫作，之后我父親的聲音開始重現(xiàn)。他開始告訴我他之前到底做了什么錯事，以及為什么他會這么做。他開始道歉。我父親已經(jīng)去世了將近 31 年，但是，在這封我替他寫的道歉信中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了道歉的力量，這實際上可能是一種能讓所有施暴男性和受暴女性度過眼前危難的方法。

So, something strange began to happen. Ibegan to write, and my father's voice began to come through me. He began totell me what he had done and why. He began to apologize. My father is deadalmost 31 years, and yet, in this apology, the one I had to write for him, Idiscovered the power of an apology and how it actually might be the way to moveforward in the crisis we now face with men and all the women they abuse.

02:57

道歉是一種至高無上的承諾。它要求絕對的誠實。它需要深層的自我拷問和時間。不能著急。 我發(fā)現(xiàn)，道歉通常有 4 個步驟，如果你要道歉，我很樂意和你們分享這4個步驟。

Apology is a sacred commitment. It requirescomplete honesty. It demands deep self-interrogation and time. It cannot berushed. I discovered an apology has four steps, and, if you would, I'd like totake you through them.

03:16

第一，你必須要詳細(xì)陳述你做了什么。你的描述不能模棱兩可。“如果我傷到你了，對不起。” 或“如果我性虐待你了，對不起。”這樣的話并沒有任何幫助。你必須要說清真正發(fā)生了什么。“我在半夜跑到你的房間，脫下你的內(nèi)褲。”“我貶低了你，因為我嫉妒你，我想要讓你感到自己一文不值。”解脫在于細(xì)節(jié)。道歉是一場追憶。它聯(lián)系著過去和現(xiàn)在。它訴說著過去真實發(fā)生的事情。

The first is you have to say what, indetail, you did. Your accounting cannot be vague. "I'm sorry if I hurtyou" or "I'm sorry if I sexually abused you" doesn't cut it. Youhave to say what actually happened. "I came into the room in the middle ofthe night, and I pulled your underpants down." "I belittled youbecause I was jealous of you and I wanted you to feel less." Theliberation is in the details. An apology is a remembering. It connects the pastwith the present. It says that what occurred actually did occur.

03:55

第二步，你需要詢問自己為什么。幸存者始終會被“為什么”所煩擾。為什么？為什么我的父親想要性虐待自己的大女兒？為什么他會抓著我的頭并用力往墻上撞？以我父親為例， 他比其他兄弟姐妹小很多。他的出生是一個“奇跡般的”意外。他一直都是個被家人愛慕寵溺著的男孩。但是“愛慕”，實際上與“愛”不同。愛慕是一種其他人將所有期望寄托于你， 想要你變得完美的情感。 我的父親必須承擔(dān)起這些 難以實現(xiàn)的期望，所以他從來不被允許做自己。他從來不被允許表達自己的溫柔 或是脆弱、好奇和疑問。他從來不被允許流淚。 因此他被迫將所有的 這些感情和情緒隱藏起來，以至于最終它們都被轉(zhuǎn)移了。這些壓抑的情緒后來變成了他內(nèi)心深處的人影，使他失控了，最后他把那些激動情緒都發(fā)泄在了我的身上。

The second step is you have to ask yourselfwhy. Survivors are haunted by the why. Why? Why would my father want tosexually abuse his eldest daughter? Why would he take my head and smash itagainst a wall? In my father's case, he was a child born long after the otherchildren. He was an accident that became "the miracle." He was adoredand treated as the golden boy. But adoration, it turns out, is not love.Adoration is a projection of someone's need for you to be perfect onto you. Myfather had to live up to this impossible ideal, and so he was never allowed tobe himself. He was never allowed to express tenderness or vulnerability,curiosity, doubt. He was never allowed to cry. And so he was forced to push allthose feelings underground, and they eventually metastasized. Those suppressedfeelings later became Shadowman, and he was out of control, and he eventuallyunleashed his torrent on me.

05:10

第三步，就是你需要敞開心扉，對你的受害者在被你虐待時所承受的痛苦感同身受。你必須讓自己感到撕心裂肺。你必須讓自己感到恐懼、背叛，以及你的虐待行為對受害者造成的長期影響。你必須與自己招致的煎熬共處。

The third step is you have to open yourheart and feel what your victim felt as you were abusing her. You have to letyour heart break. You have to feel the horror and betrayal and the long-termimpacts of your abuse on your victim. You have to sit with the suffering youhave caused.

05:31

當(dāng)然，第四步，就是承擔(dān)你過去行為的責(zé)任，并改正。

And, of course, the fourth step is takingresponsibility for what you have done and making amends.

05:38

為什么有人會想經(jīng)歷這樣一個磨人且屈辱的過程？為什么你想要揭開自己的舊痂？因為這是唯一一個你能解放自己的方法。這是唯一一個你能解放你的受害者的方法。你不僅只是摧毀了你的受害者，你也摧毀了自己。沒有人能對自己施于他人的暴力行為的影響無動于衷，他們因自己的行為飽受折磨。這能在你的整個余生中，創(chuàng)造出一個令人難以置信的黑暗且被玷污的靈魂。

So, why would anyone want to go throughsuch a grueling and humbling process? Why would you want to rip yourself open?Because it is the only thing that will set yourself free. It is the only thingthat will set your victim free. You didn't just destroy your victim. Youdestroyed yourself. There is no one who enacts violence on another person whodoesn't suffer from the effects themselves. It creates an incredibly dark and contaminatingspirit, and it spreads throughout your entire life.

06:19

我寫下的道歉——我從中學(xué)會了一件事：我們需要從不同角度來了解男性的暴力問題，這個曾一直困擾 我與其他十億女性的問題。 我們總是首先尋求懲罰。 這是我們的本能直覺， 但實際上，盡管有時懲罰本身是有效的， 但僅靠它，還遠遠不夠。我的父親懲罰了我。我變得渺小無力，我變得支離破碎。我認(rèn)為懲罰只會讓我們變得更加強硬，而非反思教育。羞辱某人并沒有任何啟發(fā)性作用。我們實際上需要建立一個可能包含但不僅局限于懲罰的流程。我們可以為那些施暴者打開一扇門，給他們一個機會去改過自新。

The apology I wrote -- I learned somethingabout a different lens we have to look through to understand the problem ofmen's violence that I and one billion other women have survived. We often turnto punishment first. It's our first instinct, but actually, although punishmentsometimes is effective, on its own, it is not enough. My father punished me. Iwas shut down, and I was broken. I think punishment hardens us, but it doesn'tteach us. Humiliation is not revelation. We actually need to create a processthat may involve punishment, whereby we open a doorway where men can actuallybecome something and someone else.

07:09

那么多年來，我一直痛恨我的父親。我想他死，我想要他進監(jiān)獄。但其實這一憤怒情緒一直讓我父親的故事與我牽絆在一起。我真正想要的不只是阻止我父親的行為，而是他本身的改變。我希望他能道歉。這是我想要的。我們不想要施暴者們被摧毀，我們不想要施暴者們僅僅被懲罰。我們想讓他們正視我們，我們這些他們曾經(jīng)傷害的受害者們，我們也想讓他們感到悔恨，并且做出改變。我相信這是可能的，我也相信這是我們前行的道路。但我們需要男人加入我們。我們需要男人鼓起勇氣，成為這一轉(zhuǎn)變的一部分。我用了大半生致力于揭發(fā)男人們的惡行。今天，我站在這里，就在此時此刻，我想邀請你們加入我。

For so many years, I hated my father. Iwanted him dead. I wanted him in prison. But actually, that rage kept meconnected to my father's story. What I really wanted wasn't just for my fatherto be stopped. I wanted him to change. I wanted him to apologize. That's whatwe want. We don't want men to be destroyed, we don't want them to only bepunished. We want them to see us, the victims that they have harmed, and wewant them to repent and change. And I actually believe this is possible. And Ireally believe it's our way forward. But we need men to join us. We need mennow to be brave and be part of this transformation. I have spent most of mylife calling men out, and I am here now, right now, to call you in.
