何謂女姓主義？ What is Feminism?

女性主義者的革命尚未發生，可是我們的世界需要這種大思考改革。 不人道的父權制度被全世界拒絕是時間早晚的問題。所謂的女性主義者應該叫做人道主義。父權制度上所指的「人」其實是男人，女人不包括在內。因此，父權制度所謂的「人道主義」不包括對待女性。 所以女性主義只能叫做女性主義，不能叫做人道主義。
大體上說，在父權制度上，女人被對待的方式相當於動物被對待的方式。換句話說，控制女人的觀點是從控制動物的觀點而來的。在歷史上，當男生控制起動物的生殖來，動物就成了他們的資產。在我們的文化上，到現在孩子還算是一種資產，這樣一來男生為了維持他們的資產，所以控制起女人的生育。因此，男性必須把女性與孩子們當成資產一樣，他們不可讓女人與孩子們成為有自由意志的「人」。
我們換一個方面來說，很多人說女性主義者的工作是讓男女平等。事實上並非如此。女性主義者不但不是要把機會平均分給男性與女性，這麼大規模的工作反而不是女性主義者的範圍。
女性主義者只是要所有人接受與承認「女人就是人」這個簡單的概念。所謂的人就是有自由意志、有完整身份、有真實存在的情況，而在自己的命運舞台上當演員。所謂的「女性主義者」就是「承認女人就是人」的主義。

This essay is one of my first ever composed in Chinese. (Yay to rockin’ that two-month intensive Chinese course this summer!) Here’s a sentence by sentence translation:


The feminist revolution has not yet happened, but the world badly needs a radical change in thinking. It’s really only a matter of time before the world rejects the inhumane system of patriarchy.
What’s called ‘feminism’ should actually be called ‘humanism’. In our patriarchal culture, what is called ‘human’ actually means ‘man’. Women aren’t really included in this term. So when we in this patriarchy talk about ‘humanism’ it doesn’t really include women. And so feminism can only be called ‘feminism’ and not ‘humanism’.
In general, under the patriarchy, women are considered to be in the same category as animals. It’s like this: the idea of controlling women comes from the original concept of controlling animals. When men first began controlling animals’ reproduction, animals became property. In our culture, even now children are still considered to be a kind of propery, and so in this way, men control women’s reproduction in order to protect their property. In doing so men turn women and children into a form of property, preventing them having the social status of free willed volitional humans.
Let’s look at this in a different way. A lot of people say that the aim of feminism is equality between men and women. Actually this is not the case. The work of feminism is not to give women and men equal opportunities, such a large scale work is outside feminism’s scope. Feminism just wants people to accept and simply recognize that women are human beings: human beings possessing free will and intelligent volition, who have complete identities, who live their own realities, and who are actors on the stage of their own destiny.
When we say ‘feminism’, what we mean is ‘recognizing that women are human beings.’
