貝蒂娜對女權主義的實用定義

《韋氏詞典》將女權主義定義為“兩性政治、經(jīng)濟和社會平等的理論”。

真正的問題是：平等意味著什么？如何實現(xiàn)平等？

女權主義意味著，在人類事務的安排中，女性至少應該擁有與男性一樣的發(fā)言權，尤其是在她們自己生活的意義、目的和活動方面。

女權主義意味著對女性的集體賦權。

對于美國乃至全世界的有色人種女性來說，除非她們所屬的社區(qū)從各種形式的種族壓迫中解放出來，否則這種集體賦權是不可能實現(xiàn)的。同樣，除非鏟除一切層面的殖民主義和新殖民主義，否則“全球南方（指不發(fā)達國家）”的女性就無法實現(xiàn)這種集體賦權。

此外，沒有經(jīng)濟獨立于男性、充分，有償并有意義的就業(yè)（與接受所需的教育和培訓）以及擺脫貧困，女性就無法實現(xiàn)集體賦權。同樣，對女性的集體賦權要求女性能夠掌控自己的身體，并自主做出影響其生殖能力的所有決定，包括選擇避孕、墮胎、分娩和產(chǎn)前產(chǎn)后護理方面的完善途徑。

同樣，除非女性不受到一切形式的暴力和性脅迫，否則她們就無法實現(xiàn)集體賦權。除了強奸、性騷擾、家庭暴力和相關行為外，對婦女的暴力還包括戰(zhàn)爭和備戰(zhàn)。

除非女性（和男性）對自己的性行為擁有絕對的控制權，擁有只要是成年人之間的自愿行為，就能不受譴責、報復或任何其他形式的歧視地選擇自己性伴侶和愛人的不可剝奪的權利，否則女性的賦權就是不可能實現(xiàn)的。女孩和男孩都必須能夠在沒有恐懼的情況下，以最科學的準確性和公開性，獲得完整的性教育課程。

女權主義包括性別的流動性，以及人們根據(jù)自己的傾向和愿望追求跨性別身份和做法的權利，而不受任何形式的歧視、譴責和報復。同樣，女權主義的目的包括使用she/he以外的代詞來表示非特定的性別稱呼。

女權主義是實現(xiàn)男女平等和所有民族平等的復雜事業(yè)。女權主義與消除一切形式的等級制度和一切統(tǒng)治制度有關，與尊重所有生命的珍貴有關。根據(jù)對性別的文化、法律、歷史和政治方面的理解，這一定義使用了對女性和男性的特定稱呼，以及對種族和性別身份的稱呼，以適當?shù)卣J識到這是為性別、種族、性和社會方面的正義而進行的斗爭，同時認識到這些類別既不是固定的，也不是永久的。

出于以上原因，正如這里所定義的，女權主義需要對人類社會進行徹底的重建。

Bettina’s working definition of feminism

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines feminism as “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.”

The real question is: What does equality mean, and how can it be achieved?

Feminism means that women shall have at least as much to say as men about everything in the arrangement of human affairs, including especially the meaning, purpose, and activities of their own lives.

Feminism means the collective empowerment of women.

For women of color in the United States, and, indeed in the world, such a collective empowerment cannot be achieved unless the communities of which they are a part are liberated from all forms of racial oppression. Likewise, women in the “Global South” cannot achieve such a collective empowerment unless and until all aspects of colonialism and neo-colonialism are eradicated.

In addition, women cannot achieve a collective empowerment without economic independence from men, full and gainful and meaningful employment, (and the education and training required for it) and freedom from poverty. Similarly, women’s collective empowerment requires that women have control over their own bodies, and all of the decisions affecting their reproductive capabilities, including full access to choices concerning contraception, abortion, childbirth, and pre and post-natal care.

Likewise, women cannot achieve a collective empowerment unless they are free from all forms of violence and sexual coercion. In addition to rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence and related acts, violence against women also includes war, and preparations for war.

Women’s empowerment cannot be achieved unless and until women (and men) have absolute control over their own sexuality, the inalienable right to choose their own sexual and loving partners, as long as this is between consenting adults, free from censure, reprisal, or any other form of discrimination. And both girls and boys must have access to a full curriculum of sex education free from fear, and with the fullest scientific accuracy and disclosure.

Feminism embraces the fluidity of gender, and the right of people to pursue transgender identities and practices in accord with their propensities and wishes, free from all forms of discrimination, censure, and reprisal. Likewise, feminist purpose includes the use of pronouns other that s/he to indicate a non-specific gender designation.

Feminism is the complicated enterprise of achieving equality between women and men, and among all peoples. Feminism is about the elimination of all forms of hierarchy, and all systems of domination. It is about honoring the preciousness of all life. In accord with cultural, legal, historical and political understandings of gender this definition uses specific designations of women and men, and designations of racial and sexual identities in order to appropriately recognize struggles for gender, racial, sexual, and social justice while simultaneously acknowledging that these categories are neither fixed nor permanent.

For these reasons feminism, as defined here, requires a radical reconstruction of human society.
