THE SEVEN NECESSARY SINS FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS: A MANIFESTO FOR DISRUPTING, DISOBEYING AND DEFYING PATRIARCHY
Book ID/图书代码： 06814018C00019
English Summary/英文概要： We must disobey, defy and disrupt that patriarchy everywhere. There are too many books which promise to teach women and girls to “resist” that do little more than help them survive a poisonous system. We need more books that will arm women and girls in the fight to dismantle patriarchy, not acquiesce to it, nor draw within its line. We need more books that are not roadmaps toward a peace treaty with patriarchy but instruments to dismantle it.
The Seven Necessary Sins is one such book.
Anger: What would the world look like if girls were taught they were volcanoes?
Ambition: Be better than everybody else
Profanity: Why we must say “Fuck”
Violence: Men must fear us/or if you rape me I will kill you
Attention: Demanding attention; deserving attention
Lust: I own my body, not the state, the street or the home, not the church, mosque or temple.
Power: Take control
That is the goal of “The Seven Necessary Sins”. The lessons it contain are a de facto “Seven Necessary ‘Sins’ for Women and Girls”: all the things that women and girls are not supposed to do or supposed to want or supposed to be: anger, attention, power, ambition, profanity, lust, and violence. All the necessary “sins” that girls and women require to erupt.
I call them “sins,” but of course they are not. They are what women and girls are not supposed to be or do or want. They are condemned as “sins” by a patriarchy that demands we acquiesce to, not destroy, its dictates.
Anger, attention, profanity, ambition, violence, power, lust,
We must seize this revolutionary moment. We will never get there if we don’t refuse the lazy and racist insistence of pointing to “over there,” by local patriarchs who tell us “Be grateful you live here and not over there where it’s shit for women.” It is shit everywhere. “Our men” and “their men” are socialized, emboldened and protected by patriarchy everywhere. That global patriarchy must remain our target.
There are too many books which promise to teach women and girls to “resist” which do little more than help them survive a system - patriarchy - that is harmful. We must arm women and girls in the fight to dismantle patriarchy, not acquiesce to it nor draw within its lines. We need fewer roadmaps towards a peace treaty with patriarchy and more manifestos to dismantling it. The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is my manifesto.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在1986年，小說家娥蘇拉·勒瑰恩為布林矛爾女子學院給予的畢業演講中，她為每位在日常中遭受到父權侵害的女性發聲，她說:「我們是火山。當我們女性站出來說出我們的遭遇，那些我們所面臨的真實，也是人類所面臨的真實，世界地圖將會改變，將會有新的山脈誕生。那就是我所希望的－－聽到你們爆發。」
「你們都是年輕的聖海倫火山，你們不知道你們內在所擁有的力量－－我想要聽見你們。」勒瑰恩對所有的女畢業生說道。
那麼，是什麼使女孩們無法發現自己內在的力量？在這些女孩們成長為女人的過程中，是什麼阻擋了她們、壓制了她們，使她們無法挺身對抗父權的壓迫？我們該如何讓女孩們的火山爆發？
這就是本書的目的。
我們必須在所有地方不服從，藐視和破壞這種父權體制。有太多的書說要教女人和女孩「抵抗」，結果只是淪為幫助她們在這個有毒的系統中倖存。我們需要教導女人和女孩們武裝起來的書，來向父權戰鬥，而非默許，也非在它允許的範圍內畫地自限。我們需要一本書，不教我們與父權簽訂和平條約，而是給予我們拆除它的工具。
這就是那麼一本書。
在本書中，提出七種女人和女孩們必須要有的原罪：
憤怒：如果女孩被教導她們是火山，世界將會是什麼樣子？
野心：比其他人都好
褻瀆：為什麼我們必須說“FUCK”
暴力：男人必須害怕我們/或者說如果你強姦我，我會殺了你
注意：我要求被注意；我值得被關注
慾望：我是我自己身體的擁有者，擁有我身體的是我自己，而非國家、街坊、家庭、教堂、清真寺或寺廟
力量：取得控制權
這就是能夠使女孩們的火山爆發的「七個必要的原罪」。
雖然稱之為「罪」，但它們當然不是罪，它們是女孩和女人們被認為不應該做的事。它們被父權譴責為「罪」，以便壓制我們，使我們無法摧毀它。
這就是本書的宣言。
