我特洛伊戴维斯吗？ 一个荡妇？或什么麻烦，我没有在变动的自反宣布团结
斯蒂芬妮吉尔摩
1。
2011年9月21日，我加入了数百名世界各地数以百万计的人，我和朋友观看，通过眼泪和在极端恐怖， 特洛伊安东尼·戴维斯是由佐治亚州执行。 麦克菲尔马克和他的执行戴维斯对警察谋杀案的审判之间的20多年中，戴维斯保持自己的清白，而证人撤回发送戴维斯死囚的证词。 尽管矛盾的证词和证据不足，国家抛开挥之不去的和长期的疑问，而是把特洛伊安东尼·戴维斯死亡。
在Facebook，Twitter，和其他媒体的，我看到了虚与实的朋友宣布特洛伊·戴维斯说：“我。”他们改变了他们的个人资料图片戴维斯图片或图像，或一个黑盒子，所有企图阐明，意义上的团结，反对监狱工业园区彻底盘踞在谋杀一名可能不会犯有谋杀罪的人的不公正和一个国家的立场。 我完全同意，国家在执行他的死亡以及主任麦克菲尔戴维斯先生和我伤心的是错误的。 但戴维斯的执行在几个星期以来，我一直想，如果人们真正了解如何以及为什么戴维斯来在国家手中，杀害。 许多人坚持特洛伊·戴维斯说：“我”，但究竟是什么意思？
在许多方面，我不是特洛伊·戴维斯。 我是一个中产阶级，40出头岁的白人妇女。 据皮尤研究中心2008年的国家报告，在36个拉美裔成人是在美国监狱中。 15名成年黑人中就有一个是，统计，其中包括100名黑人妇女在9个黑人男性，年龄20-34。 虽然我的父母在监狱中度过的时间，通过监禁加入2.3万被关押的人，并有更多的肿胀的行列，在缓刑，中途宿舍，和假释制度，我和我的白色同行不面对全身种族不平等结构的监禁。 它不与监狱系统开始或结束。 黑人儿童被暂停率3倍，白人儿童学校开除。 教育经费的种族歧视也影响儿童在学校的成功，现金穷人的学区还以压倒多数黑人和拉美裔社区。 学校已经和许多黑人和拉美裔儿童和家庭几代人保持一个监狱的管道，监狱是一个现实。 在15个黑人儿童，目前在狱中的父母。 人说系统坏了，但我（以及与他人在监狱废奴运动）承认，该系统正是因为它是成立做的工作。 我真的可以说，“我特洛伊戴维斯”没有认真考虑在监狱工业复杂的种族主义现实吗？ 这是否只是变得比一个口号和图片通过更小，没有真正认识监狱工业园区的种族主义现实吗？
2。
2011年8月6日，我参加了荡妇走费城 。 这是一个美好的一天，数百人移动通过中心城市，在大会堂，这里更聚集发言反对性暴力结束。 我一直在后荡妇游动的巨大喜悦，因为我看到人民的力量，在那些反对性暴力的妇女和男子的绝对数量。 因此，当有人问我参加，站在奇怪的颜色，在一个多种族的包容性的荡妇城比我见过的最新，我说“是”结束性暴力的斗争，因为是我的战斗。 对一种文化的延续和促进强奸和战斗力;强奸犯欢呼减退，侮辱，沉默的受害者，通过法律，教育和娱乐需求的知识系统，再次，不破。 它正在做的非常的构建做的工作 - 性暴力是一种工具，确保白色的现状。 如果我们要结束性暴力，我们必须承认它是如何运作的。
“荡妇”。我一直在努力接受不承认很成问题的“荡妇”，许多妇女一直无法撼动的标签，以及如何在历史的运动，我参加的斗争中 - 以及我自己的内部运动斗争 - 因为我想参与，创造，维持对话。 事实上，许多批评明显的举动，声称“荡妇” - 你怎么能拿起你从没去过的能放下的东西吗？ 黑人妇女最关心的声带做的性暴力不再遗留到自己的身体 - 经常对奴隶制的背景和殖民主义 - 只要被黑。 但我继续推向这些更大的对话和分析。 我听了，从事时Crunk女性集体挑战荡妇走，当BlackWomen的蓝图发出其“ 开放的信来自黑人妇女到荡妇城主办，“与时颜色的个别妇女的颜色只有妇女谈到有关在个别游行种族主义行动公开以及作为种族主义的更大范围内的运动。 我知道白人妇女对种族主义的不同表达私人意见，但从来没有发言，挑战个人的行动或较大的分析框架，留下我想知道“为什么？”
然后我看到从荡妇城纽约字样的标志， “ 妇女是N *世界gger的 。“我不在乎，报价是由约翰·列侬和小野洋子。 我不在乎，这名妇女被要求取下来的迹象 - 尽管我肯定不照顾女人的颜色了，问她这样做的动议，而白人妇女，她的身边，看似不经意。 我很生气，当我继续看到这么多的白人妇女，保卫它明示或保持沉默的同谋，这表明“我们”（“我们”？）需要首先关注性暴力，如果它是种族主义无关。 ，我不知道，我真的可以算得上是新生荡妇步行运动的一部分，没有在公开确定方面给予认真考虑的种族主义的现实吗？ 我可以成为它的一部分时，如此多的妇女 - 我非常盟国和反种族主义斗争中的姐妹 - 除了它，或者更糟的是，它永远反对设置？
3。
我的问题是，如何我们能在团结时，大家都不愿意是自反和自我检查，互相检查，检查伯尼斯·约翰逊里根承认，联合建设，是辛勤工作的人来更难联盟试图找到一个家。 我的感觉，或者从某种意义上说，我有，是有很多人来：“我是特洛伊·戴维斯”的势头，或荡妇城的游行找一个家，一个地方，在那里他们可以坐下来和他们的辛勤感觉很舒服（很难！）工作，并安慰别人，拍拍他们的头部，并告诉他们“干得好”，这是不解雇真正关心我们这个世界的状态。 也许我们都寂寞，因为社会司法工作的现实已加入WTO以来，9/11的不同和可口的形式。 所以很多人都为眼前的问题 - 特洛伊·戴维斯站不住脚的，是站不住脚的性暴力延续执行 - 和事项。 但我担心许多白人不重视在地方较大的结构。 他们没有被自反有关种族主义的现实，巩固...的底部监狱监禁，死刑，暴力和性暴力。
我不是特洛伊·戴维斯;我永远不会是。 种族主义的基础上建立了一个系统，以确保我不会面对相同的方式为黑人和拉美裔人的监狱监禁的现实。 我强烈反对性暴力的主张，但我不能在一个没有种族主义和种族主义巩固了性暴力的方式的现实感兴趣的运动和争取，而不是那么盲目采用种族主义的语言。 （叫我“ 占据华尔街日报 “的行动，再次在现有的资本主义结构的必要性和种族主义的现实-和白人之间的坚持，颜色的人沉湎于奢侈的时间和金钱，与他们同坐的是站不住脚的和种族主义。许多人指出，“占领”的语言本质上是有问题的，因为往往通过性暴力和犯罪机构和土地历史占领。运动本身需要进行非殖民化）即使我公开支持监狱废奴运动，性暴力，并拔除的社会经济制度，忽略了99％，我不能这样做没有种族主义的深刻认识，这些运动内部和各国之间。 这是我的工作，为白色活动家发言，并知道这些遗产和种族主义的历史。 妇女和男子的色彩需要不能独自在确定种族主义行动和内部运动的反应前线。 坚持有色人种有发言权， 只有当它来确定种族主义延续，而不是减轻种族主义。 正如我在看一些人在这些运动的行动，我再次提醒，应该左边的种族主义甚至更具破坏性和伤害比权的赤裸裸的种族主义。
如果我们要团结在一起，我们必须做这样本能地意识到，我们的行动和潜在的成果，我们采取行动之前。 这是不是一个电话，把重点放在批评和自我反思，我们是无效的点。 这是非生产性的，可以肯定的。 但它是一个呼吁铭记和警惕有关种族主义的行动和反应，来的事实，我们必须了解监狱监禁，死刑，性暴力和种族主义的基础工作方面，如果我们作出重大进展。 撤消种族主义必须在我们的集体工作的整个运动的核心。 呼应里根博士的说法，我们需要的是诚实的，并要求如果我们真的想要的颜色或人，如果我们只是为自己寻找一点颜色。 这么多运动的工作，因为它主张，似乎在寻找一点点的颜色，当我们需要探索种族主义的现实问题的一部分，而不是一个“真正的”问题添加剂。 在有关的结构性力量，是保持我们除了自反的情况下，我们将永远不能从事真正的联合工作，如果我们认真对待我们的目标，结束性暴力和死刑，将需要。 这些运动，因为他们现在将可能继续，但他们不这样做我的名字，当然不是没有我的同意。
所以，不，我不是特洛伊·戴维斯。 我不是一个荡妇。 我不是一个华尔街的占用人或任何街道。 战斗是我的战斗，但目前的方法和分析是不是我的。 我不能坐视和不理解，这是更大，更复杂和监禁，“小学到监狱”的路径， 设计轨道和陷阱的黑人和拉美裔青年听人辩论死刑的疗效。 我做的大声疾呼和种族主义方法和行动辩护，如此众多的白人妇女中的“白娘子的眼泪”，有时，面对和挑战时， 用暴力回应。 这种行为不仅强化了这一事实，这些运动，因为他们正在定义的空间并不安全。 我的朋友，同事和姐妹，精神Aishah Shahidah西蒙斯说，最好时，她评论说，“这是发人深省的观察白团结是如何接管优先原则的反应.... “发人深省，确实。 我肯定会战斗到最后的监狱工业复杂，性暴力，肆无忌惮的资本主义，而是从中心监禁的种族主义的根源，犯罪“的司法，”资本主义，暴力和性暴力的一个空间，所以我会做。 值得庆幸的是，这些场所已经存在 - 即使他们仍然在主流媒体（和）什么是左撇子媒体留下许多周边。 但是现在是时候枢纽中心。 没有自反分析种族主义和反种族主义运动接地联盟工作，我们错过了问题的真正根源以及真正的机会来创造变化。

Another Black Feminist Critique of the film “The Help”
October 7, 2011
I'm 'Help(ed)' Out And Yet, I Still Have Some Things To Say!
本文最初出现于2011年8月19日，在AfroLez®博客femcentric的观点 。
已经有许多主要黑人女权主义批评的书和电影“ 帮助 ”。 最深刻的批评与我有关这两个实体的感情共鸣。 因为它是在2011年8月10日正式发布，我已经专门可能是太多的时间阅读和重新张贴由黑人和白人妇女的许多批评。 虽然我分享一些我所关注的一些，我还没有编译成一个音符都到现在为止......
我不喜欢的书“帮助 ”所有，但我相信这是比电影更好的十倍。 如果有过多的黑人生活的复杂性的电影，我不会在乎所有的电影“ 帮助 ”。 但是，由于没有那么多的电影在那里，事实上，这部电影将被视为全球和可能去在电影史上的经典，我个人非常清楚我对纯粹的厌恶。
我看到在抢先促销观赏的电影，我吓坏了。 现在，我还以为是惊人的维奥拉·戴维斯的演技和锐斯宾塞的是一流的。 他们既没有给予他们的角色令人难以置信的工作。 尽管这样，我和电影的微妙和不那么微妙的种族主义深感不安。 是的，我知道电影在1962年密西西比州的地方，人们可以说，影片描绘的时间。 同时，有些是真实的，也是事实的是，在我看来，这部电影是种族主义，性别歧视和历史无关。
我的大孙女，大的侄女，孙女无论是在白人种族主义和性别歧视的黑人南（据称解放）北女佣工作的黑人妇女。 我一个女儿，谁花了18个月的月桂树，密西西比工作（1964-1966）， SNCC（学生非暴力协调委员会） 南部的黑人妇女 。 几乎没有任何，我听到的故事，我的整个生命第一手任何上述妇女或他们的朋友（我在我40岁了），匹配的黑人妇女和他们的社区的写照，在书中或电影的帮助 。“
有许多精彩的 黑人妇女作家的书籍，通过虚构事实，尖锐地解决国内工人的黑人妇女的实际情况，在同一时期，“帮助 ”发生。 那些书好评如潮。 然而，这些书是不是变成了电影。 这些图书的几个已上市以前批评的“ 帮助 ”，包括珍妮弗·威廉斯的文章和协会的黑人妇女历史学家的公开声明，向球迷的帮助 。“
除了 这些书，我反映后，最近发布的关于自由犁手：SNCC妇女的个人账户 ，（信仰与Holsaert，玛莎Prescod诺曼·努南，朱迪·理查森，Garman贝蒂·罗宾逊，让史密斯年轻编辑，多萝西M. Zellner），从而真正突出那些默默无闻的，其中许多人没有正式受过教育的妇女，谁改变了阿米尔 - 我的三K党在吉姆克劳南的脸。 我不谈论SNCC的多种族的工人自己（本身），但这些黑人妇女（和男人）是谁开了他们的家园和生活SNCC志愿者......是谁，许多人已经这样做激进和颠覆性的工作，在工作中“ 安小姐 ”......这么多本诗集中捕获的证词是值得的电影，甚至自己独立的书。 在我心中的眼睛， 双手上的自由犁个人账户：SNCC妇女的告诉普通妇女做不平凡的工作（和男人）的故事。
我深深的痛苦，所有关于“ 帮助 ”的喧闹和大张旗鼓做的事实，我们很少看到过一个电影纯粹的白人男性和女性至上主义者的恐怖，那黑衣人下（第一生活在奴役，历时数百年来，然后整个吉姆克劳时代）描述。 从德国之声格里菲斯“ 一个国家的诞生 “，直到今天，好莱坞一直致力于消毒和难以忍受的痛苦，可怜的和不人道的倍光数百万非洲裔的美国人。 该系统已通过大骂，诽谤，定型，边缘化和非人非洲血统的人能够做到这一点。 有一些非常离奇的这一令人不安的，至少说。
而有些批阅维奥拉戴维斯 ，明锐Spencer和其他黑人女演员为特色的“帮助 ”，据我所知，他们之间的岩石和硬地捕获。 很难在这里的黑人妇女（和男人）在好莱坞的演员（或Hollyweird，作为凯德班巴拉托尼用来调用）系统。 当一个人变成了自己的原则和尊严的基础作用，另一个会欣然接受这一角色。 我很伤心，在“ 帮助 ”的角色是惊人的演员，如维奥拉戴维斯和锐斯宾塞的选项。 它在许多方面看来，如果这个种族主义和性别歧视的恶性循环永远不会坏了。
我的问题是我们如何停止这个强大的系统 - 好莱坞，从而影响世界，其正在进行的电影种族主义，性别歧视，异性恋/同性恋/ transphobic的，不仅对非洲裔社区classist袭击，但也对拉丁/ O，阿拉伯国家，土著，亚洲，太平洋岛民，罗姆人（吉卜赛人），西南亚裔社区...？ 什么时候够了成为足够的呢？
我关注的消息是通过传达“ 的帮助 。” 如果你没有正式的教育，你需要一个白女人记录和讲述自己的故事，为了听到它得到......那么白的女人离开镇，使其在纽约的大，你在20世纪60年代的安全（？）白人至上主义者恐怖密西西比后，打破你的沉默炒鱿鱼吗？ 或黑色的丈夫，和白的女人，你教如何煮殴打，熬夜准备你曾经有过的最可口的饭菜。 你太感动了那顿饭，你离开你的虐待丈夫。
最重要的，是我们与这些类型的白人妇女的黑人妇女的生活，这是历史事实的唯一救星的描述真的好吗？ 同样重要的是，这是一个准确的HERstory？ 如果是，我怀疑，如何往往会出现这种情况呢？ 在那里黑人妇女家庭工人和他们的雇主的白人妇女之间的平等为基础的真正的姐妹吗？ 如何根据这个故事的寄养姐妹平等的黑人和白人妇女之间的当代？
要引述黑人女性主义的政治学家梅丽莎·哈里斯-佩里 “ 帮助”降低了系统的，暴力的种族主义，性别歧视和剥削劳工，可狡猾的仙水赢得了一只猫的斗争。“
再次，如果有过多的关于黑人生活的复杂性，然后“帮助 ”将是另一部影片的电影......但是，这不是另一部电影。 对于许多人来说痛苦类似的非历史片“ 燃烧的密西西比 “如何成为民事权利的消失的电影表示工人〜Schwerner，古德曼和钱尼，“帮助 ”将是电影的代表和国内的黑人妇女工人的生活他们的白人妇女在20世纪60年代在密西西比州的雇主。
雪上加霜的是， HSN（家庭购物网络）已经推出其收集，启发的帮助 。“这是如此令人震惊的和不人道的。 在我看来，它是如何已被消毒和commodofied的，痛苦的美国黑人她/历史（美国她/历史的尴尬应该是什么）的一部分的另一个例子。 引述我的姐姐帕特里夏Lesesne，“ 它们是什么{HSN的}销售吗？ 子弹，强奸套件，nooses，泪痕上衣，男士衬衫与血液溅在他们呢？ 到底是哪件这在美国历史上时间将要HSN的销售吗？ 他们要封存了6盎司瓶的恐惧的本质，恐怖，屈辱和销售香水三人礼品套装。 你到底是怎么回事？“是的，到底是在2011年，帕特里夏？
我们可以抵制这种疯狂的一种方式是通过支持独立电影（ 非好莱坞支持/资助 ）。 有许多，许多电影制片人，谁是建立强大的叙事和纪录片，描绘生活的人，对他们的种族/民族，性别认同的基础上的复杂性，性取向，阶级和/或宗教，往往被边缘化或更糟由好莱坞系统的非人化。
如果你看到“ 帮助 ”，是一个从事观赏。 这一点很重要，即使有重要的参与和审讯， 叹息和喘息 ，你喜欢的电影。 我认为这是重要的，所有电影观众需要时间，真正体现固有的消息后，不仅在“ 帮助 ”，但所有电影的，因为总是有显性和隐性的消息，我们每个人的吸收。

“Woman is the 'N' of the World?” (at SlutWalk?)
2011年10月7日，
女人是世界的“N”呢？
This essay originally appeared at AfroLez®femcentric Perspectives blog , and Ms. Magazine blog.
In 1969, Yoko Ono coined the phrase, and I quote, “Woman is the N****R of the World.” Shortly thereafter, she and her husband, the late John Lennon , wrote and he recorded a song with that same title.
根据维基百科 （这始终是可疑的），当时 的（不知道他们今天会站在） 迪克·格雷戈里和罗恩·德勒姆斯捍卫了这首歌。
几个黑人女权主义者，包括珠江Cleage ，挑战小野洋子的种族主义（黑人妇女）的声明。 “ 如果女人是世界的”N“，是什么使黑人妇女”，N，N“的世界吗？”
快进42年后，从它最初被创造的时候，一名白人女子，决定建立并携带标语牌的报价SlutWalk纽约 。
I've been informed that one of the (Black) women SlutWalk NYC organizers asked the woman to take her placard down. 她做到了。 However, not before there were many photographs taken.
My question is, Why did it take a Black woman organizer to ask her to take it down? What about all of the White women captured in this photograph? They didn't find this sign offensive? Paraphrasing Sojourner Truth , “Ain't IA Woman (too!)?”
ERADICATING RACISM SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF PEOPLE OF COLOR.
How can so many White feminists be absolutely clear about the responsibility of ALL MEN TO END heterosexual violence perpetrated against women, and yet turn a blind eye to THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO END racism?
Is Sisterhood Global? This picture says NO! very loudly and very clearly.
The fact that this quote originates from a woman of color, Yoko Ono, really underscores the work that we women of color must do to educate each other about our respective herstories. This photograph also underscores the imperative need for hardcore inter-racial dialogues among all of us in these complicated movements to address gender-based violence in all of our non-monolithic communities.
Co-signing with my Sister Andrea Plaid that at the fundamental level this photograph speaks to the very sobering reality that there is a level of acceptable racism going on within (some?) SlutWalkS (not a monolith).
There is something deeply uncanny that, in 2011, this White woman would think it was OK to create and carry a sigh with the “N” word at a SlutWalk. What on earth was she thinking? Who in the United States of Ameri-KKK-a doesn't know that the “N” word is NOT okay to use, most especially if you're not Black.
POSTSCRIPT: I have supported and still support the premise of SlutWalks. In August I participated as a speaker at SlutWalk Philly .
I discuss the reasons why I, as a Black feminist lesbian incest and rape survivor, have supported the premise of SlutWalks in fairly great detail in my September 30 interview with Where Is Your Line?
At the same time, I think it's very important that everyone read and discuss the very important and poignant concerns raised in Black Women's Blueprint 's “ Open Letter from Black Women to the SlutWalk.”
Clearly there is an urgent and non-negotiable need for dialogues to happen in the immediate future.
Here is a short list of selected essays by some Black (American) Feminists who have weighed in on the horrific impact of both the sign and the defense of the sign.

UPDATE: Kimberlynn Acevedo, one of SlutWalk NYC's organizers has posted a statement in response to the sign, and has announced plans to continue the dialogue.
Here is an excerpt:
One of our march's participants last Saturday held up and promulgated a racist, offensive sign. She was asked to take it down by one of our organizers as soon as it came to our attention. This sign symbolizes many of the critiques about SlutWalk not being a safe space for people of color, in particular Black women. We are taking it seriously and we absolutely condemn it and are horrified by it. This sign opposes the mission of SlutWalk NYC and its message is in direct conflict with the beliefs of its organizers. ...
We are meeting with many of the groups which have critiqued SlutWalk NYC directly. We are meeting with Black Women's Blueprint. We are attending an open meeting with Sister Song. We are holding a completely open meeting on October 13 at Walker Stage from 6-8 pm in order to discuss how to build a fighting movement. Further, we encourage everyone to take a look at the transcripts and videos of the speeches we have posted on our website and Facebook. We know we need to grow. We have been working on growth from the beginning. There were powerful, diverse and engaging speeches at the rally, many of which directly hit upon critiques of SlutWalk. THESE are the seeds of growth in our organization. We want to start a movement that passionately wants include the voices of all people, of all survivors, of all individuals who see merit in what it is that we are choosing to combat.
We hope you will join us.

It's Friday, and we all know what that means! Interviews with your favorite badass feminists and activists. Whether social media queens and kings, creative artists, sex educators, or just kick-ass personalities, these people harness righteous anger, instigate movements and inspire cultural change. We're here to honor them and their work, but more importantly, to highlight how we can all get up, plug in, and? Just Start Doing .
My interview partner this week is? Aishah Shahidah Simmons , documentary filmmaker, writer, lecturer and activist. She's the producer, writer and director of? NO! The Rape Documentary , and she screens her work all around the world. You can follow her and her work at? @AfroLez and? @InnerLiberation.
Here's what we talked about:
You're a filmmaker, writer, lecturer and activist. That's a lot of hats to wear. Why don't you start by telling us what your day-to-day works looks like right now.
Yes, it is a lot of hats to wear, which is why I also use cultural worker. That term was taught to me in 1990 by? Toni Cade Bambara , who was a Black feminist cultural worker extraordinaire, my teacher, and my Big Sista-friend. Every day is literally a new and different day. However, there are some things that rarely change. I'ma practitioner of? vipassana meditation . Part of my practice is to meditatively sit twice a day, every day for an hour at each sitting. I used to be and, at times, I still am very resistant to sitting because I viewed it as a time obstacle to my doing my cultural work. Life experiences, however, consistently show me that sitting is a non-negotiable resource that enables me to do my cultural work. After sitting, I do some form of exercise (walking or swimming are my preferences) and then I'm usually able to begin the external work. I check my email, facebook, and twitter accounts. I also check various blogs and other sites. If I allow it, the aforementioned can very literally consume my entire day and night because it's non-stop action on the cyber highway…

Gloria Steinem and NO! The Rape Documentary
2011年10月7日，
格洛丽亚·斯泰纳姆和NO！ 油菜纪录片
Originally appeared at The Feminist Wire on September 23, 2011
http://thefeministwire.com/2011/09/gloria-steinem-and-no-the-rape-documentary/
Gloria Steinem is a Second Wave White Feminist pioneer who, for over 40 years and counting, has been at the forefront and often a spokesperson for women's rights in the United States and globally. Since the late 1960s, Steinem has either founded or co-founded several women-led organizations, which have impacted the lives of millions of women across this country and internationally. These organizations include: the Women's Action Alliance , the National Women's Political Caucus , the Coalition of Labor Union Women , the Ms. Foundation for Women , Choice USA , and most recently the Women's Media Center . A co-founding editor of Ms. magazine in 1972, she still serves as a consulting editor in 2011.
Throughout the majority of her activist life, Steinem has had strong alliances and been engaged in political and professional partnerships with a wide range of known and unknown Black women activists and writers. In the August 15, 2011 SFGate article Gloria Steinem had strong influence on [B]lack women , Black feminist author Evelyn C. White wrote:
As national treasurer of the 1970s-era Free Angela Davis campaign, Steinem was a critical link in the legal defense of the Oakland scholar then jailed for her radical politics. She crafted the television speech that black Rep. Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005) delivered in her historic 1972 bid for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. And it was at Steinem?s direction that Ms., in the early 1970s, began to publish Alice Walker and later appointed her one of the first black editors at the magazine. This, long before the author won international acclaim for her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Color Purple
Steinem's activism and journalism have played a pivotal role in co-creating a feminist lens on a wide range of issues including but not limited to reproductive rights, political activism, union organizing, politics of representation in media/journalism, opposition to wars in Vietnam and the Gulf (past and contemporarily), lesbian and gay rights, female genital mutilation, pornography, and same-sex marriage. Her essays, articles, and bestselling books are viewed as classic feminist writings from which many view as road maps on their own activist journeys.
I am a 42-year old Black feminist lesbian who identifies as a member of the generation of Third Wave Feminists. I was raised in two households (my mother's and my father's) where women's liberation was never viewed as being in contradiction to Black liberation. My mother, Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons , was the first self-identified feminist I ever knew. I would definitely say that based on how they lived their lives, my grandmothers and great-aunts were feminists, though they never used that term to describe themselves. As a result of my rearing from both my mother and my father, Michael Simmons , I always thought both women?s liberation and Black liberation were necessary. Since adolescence, I've understood that I could not have one without the other. I have been consciously pro-choice/pro women's reproductive freedom since I was ten years old. I have called myself a feminist since I was a teenager.
Additionally, in both of my homes, a subscription to Ms. magazine was as important as a subscription to Essence magazine (this was in the 1970s and 1980s when Essence was a much more radical magazine than it is today). Gloria Steinem's writings occupied space on the bookshelves in both of my divorced parents' homes. When I came of age as a young woman, I purchased Gloria's books for my own emerging library(along with the books of numerous Black feminist writers including? but not limited to Toni Cade Bambara , Audre Lorde , Alice Walker , ntozake shange , Barbara Smith , bell hooks , Pat Parker , Beverly Guy-Sheftall , Toni Morrison , Sonia Sanchez , June Jordan , and Pearl Cleage ). I also subscribed to Ms. and Essence magazines. Up until 2004, I don't believe I had any direct contact with Gloria Steinem, but I certainly was inspired by her activism and followed it closely.
I virtually met Gloria Steinem in the fall of 2004 through Kevin Powell , a dear friend, comrade, and one of the earlier supporters of the making of my documentary NO! . At that time, I was in my tenth year of financially struggling to make this feature-length documentary, which would unveil the realities of rape, other forms of sexual violence, and healing in African American communities. I literally thought I was at the end of my rope; and couldn't take another step further. I wrote and sent out an email to group of people including, definitely, Kevin. The email was a serious cry for help. In response to my plea, Kevin forwarded my email to a select group in his network of friends and colleagues with the hope that someone would be able to financially assist me and help push me either closer to or over the finish line. Gloria Steinem was one of those people to whom Kevin forwarded my email.
Upon receiving the email from Kevin, Gloria immediately reached out and applauded me on my efforts and commitment to forge ahead in spite of the resistance. She reminded me that feminist truth telling is very rarely easy and hardly ever rewarded. Gloria also shared information about the Gloria Fund at the Ms. Foundation for Women, a possible funding source. Now, I need to underscore that while I knew who Gloria Steinem was, I did not know Gloria and she did not know me. Gloria wrote me without having viewed a trailer or the rough cut of NO! . To the best of my knowledge, other than reading Kevin's email introducing me followed by my email, she had no additional information about NO! (ie, no proposal, brochure, flyer, etc.). And yet, she responded to her friend and comrade, Kevin Powell's, call to support a Black woman making a film about addressing and ending sexual violence in African-American communities. She wrote me to offer moral support and to strategize about how I may be able to secure funding.
There are many instances on my 11-year journey to make NO! where I was completely humbled. Many of those instances include receiving support, both behind and in front of the NO! camera lens and from trailblazing women whose activism, scholarship, and cultural work literally broke the ground upon which I stood. Gloria Steinem reaching out to me was one of those profoundly memorable moments.
I received a post-production grant from the Gloria Steinem Fund of the Ms. Foundation for Women, which literally kept me from failing financially. Equally as important, Gloria's email in response to my email via Kevin (which I have in my NO! archives), arrived in my inbox at that right moment. I will always be grateful to Kevin for his unwavering support of NO ! , expressed in a myriad of ways, including his introducing me to Gloria Steinem. I also remain grateful to Gloria Steinem for reaching out to a stranger trying to and ultimately completing her Black feminist documentary.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to view Gloria: In Her Own Words , during its broadcast run on HBO. Unfortunately, I don't have HBO. I look forward, however, to viewing it either online with a friend/colleague who has a subscription to HBO, or when it's available on DVD. I have, however, made note of my Sister Shelby Knox's appreciation of the HBO documentary while also wishing for a deeper treatment of Gloria Steinem's philosophy and activism. Additionally and again admitting that I have not seen the program, based on what I read about the documentary, by Dana Goldstein , I'm concerned that there may not be many voices (not solely archival footage of) of women of Color who worked with Gloria over the past 40-years.
Clearly, there have been and are struggles around race and (mis)representation in the mainstream feminist movement. As a result of these struggles, tremendous inroads were made in this movement over the past 40-years. I believe that is a testament to the multi-racial metaphorical and literal kitchen table gatherings where some of the most difficult and at times painful dialogues took place. Gloria initiated some of those dialogues. She existed as an integral part of many of those dialogues. Furthermore, she has been challenged and, as a result, has changed because of those dialogues. This is a part of Gloria's legacy that younger feminists of all races need to know, as many of these struggles remain as real today as yesterday. One need not look any further than the overwhelming Black feminist critical responses to the recent release of the film The Help in comparison to the minimal White feminist critical responses to the film.
As a documentary filmmaker, I know the power the moving image to document her/histories. While I'm elated there is a documentary film that chronicles significant parts of Gloria's journey called life, I most definitely agree with my Sister Shelby, who is almost twenty years younger than I, when she wrote “those of us who consider ourselves active duty members of today's feminist movement, would be better served with more information about Gloria the radical, forward-thinking activist that she continues to be than about 'St. Gloria.”"
If you missed Gloria: In Her Own Words , and have a subscription to HBO, it is available for viewing online through HBO Go until December 31, 2011. If you're able, view it and join the Women's Media Center's 'In Your Own Words,' campaign .
No One Is Free While Others Are Oppressed ~ SlutWalk Philadelphia Speech
2011年8月12日，
“What's the Right Message?” asks Aishah Shahidah Simmons in her SlutWalk Philadelphia Speech”
“Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference – those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older – know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to stand alone, unpopular and sometimes reviled, and how to make common cause with those others identified as outside the structures in order to define and seek a world in which we can all flourish. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths.”
— Audre Lorde , Sister Outsider —
Black. Lesbian. Feminist. Mother. Warrior. Poet. Audre Lorde's written words taught me that my silence will not protect me, and that silence is not golden. I am a Black feminist lesbian who is a survivor of incest and rape. When I was ten, my paternal (step)grandfather molested me over a period of two years; and when I was 12 the eldest son of a family friend fondled me. My rape happened when I was a soon to be 20 year old sophomore in college. I was on a study abroad program and broke all of the university-enforced rules to go out, very late at night, with the man who would become my rapist. In spite of my having second thoughts about going out with this new acquaintance, I was both afraid to articulate them and to turn around because my friends were covering for me. In the hotel room, for which I paid, I told my rapist “I don't want to do this. Please stop.” I didn't “violently” fight back. I didn't scream or yell to the top of my lungs” because I was afraid. I didn't want to make a “scene.” I blamed myself for saying, “Yes”…for breaking the rules…for paying for the hotel room.
The morning following my rape, I went back to where the school housed us and lied to my friends. I didn't tell them that I was forced to have sex against my will. In an effort to both deny what happened on the night of my rape and to be in control of my body, I had consensual sex with another man that evening. When it was time to return home to the United States, I was pregnant and didn't know which of the two men was the biological father. I was fortunate to have a safe and legal abortion at the Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center for Women in Philadelphia, PA.
And, before I continue, I want to be explicitly and unequivocally clear that I am NOT a lesbian because I was molested and raped. I am a lesbian because I'm attracted to and love women. So, please do not walk away making the homophobic and heterosexist comment “Oh, that's why Aishah is a lesbian. It's because she was molested and raped.”
WRONG.
If molestation and rape made women and girls lesbians, then most of the girls and women in the world would be lesbians. Just check the global statistics on molestation and rape.
I share what some of you might view as personal, private—and perhaps—seemingly unnecessary because the personal is directly related not only to the political but also the professional in my life.
Now, I admit when Executive Organizer Hannah Altman invited me to be a speaker at SlutWalk Philadelphia , I was very, very apprehensive. However, after quite a bit of thought and deliberation; and in spite of my many conflicting feelings as a Black feminist lesbian whose contemporary reality and ancestral lineage has been rooted in the legalized name calling/marginalizing/denigration of mind/body/spirit for centuries without too much recourse, I accepted the invitation to be a speaker.
I am here today because I want to see an end to the victim-blaming in my lifetime, and I'm 42-years old. No, victim-blaming is not going to stop because we are all here participating in SlutWalk Philadelphia. 如果只有它是那么容易。 However, I believe it is important that the faces, voices, and perspectives of women of color (inclusive of all sexualities) and trans people of color are seen and heard. Documented herstory and contemporary reality has shown us that more often than not, it is our bodies that catch the most hell not only by the State but also by people in and out of our communities (however we define them). It is our bodies that have a demonstrated track record of being on the frontlines of the movements to end all forms of oppression.
I believe words are very, very powerful. At the same time, I really struggle with many who are hostile to the “SlutWalks” because they say it gives the wrong message. What is the right message? I think about Take Back the Night, which was founded in the early '70s, when I was a toddler. As strange as it may seem today, especially now that Take Back the Night has become an “acceptable” movement throughout this country and globally, I know there was resistance. I'm sure some, if not many people took the position, 'What do you mean take back the night? You shouldn't be out at night!'
Personally, I do not embrace the word Slut at all… And, at the same time, I will not say or subscribe to the patriarchal and misogynistic thinking that “we can't do this or that type of behavior; or wear this or that type of clothing and not expect to get harassed, fondled, and/or raped.
There are some places in the world that would say that presently, I'm not properly covered in what I view as very modest attire (by most US standards). There are many in the United States; and throughout the world who believe I should be raped, assaulted, and/or harassed for the mere fact that I'm an unapologetically OUT Feminist Lesbian.
Where do we draw the lines of who can and can't be rape, assaulted, harassed, and/or called vicious and vitriolic names? Why are we okay with RAPE being the penalty for ANY type of behavior (including heterosexual women having multiple sexual partners) or for wearing ANY type of attire of clothing (including thongs and bustier? ). This line of thinking is inhumane, egregious, wretched, and should be unacceptable.
Sexual violence is one of the only crimes where the victim behavior's determines if a crime happened or not. I could be in a drug-infested neighborhood with a lot of money on my person and even bragging about my money and showing it off. If someone steals my money, they are a thief, plain and simple. Yes, one could say “Aishah, what were you doing with all that money in that neighborhood. Are you crazy?” And yet, at the same time, it would be clear that I was robbed. If I left my macbook pro in Starbucks and someone stole it, we may think I was dumb for leaving it there, but that doesn't take away the fact that someone stole my macbook pro.
How can we have more empathy for the loss of money or even the loss of a computer than the (hopefully, temporary) loss of one's body for a few seconds, moments, hours, or even days? Why do we tend to be clear about the impact of the loss of material possessions in ways that we don't want to be clear about the impact of the loss of the right to ones own body. For too many, rape has become a word, almost devoid of the horrifying experience from which too many of us never ever fully recover.
There is something very disturbing and painful that there is this widespread (as in global) notion that material possessions are worth more than a woman's body… There is something wrong that too many of us believe that a woman doesn't have the right to show or flaunt her body, if she desires… That a woman doesn't have a right to agree to one form of sexual activity and not agree to another form of sexual activity. That she doesn't have the right to say “yes,” and then have the courage or even the audacity to change her mind and say “no.” Whose body is it anyway? Contrary to global belief, it's not the perpetrators body. And yet, too many of us defend the perpetrators RIGHT to violate the body of another.
When will we stop treating boys and men as if they are wild beastly animals or innocent toddlers (not sure which one) who can't control their words and/or actions? When will we put the blame on the perpetrators? When will we stop saying “Well, women have to take some responsibility?” Take responsibility for what, men and boys being unable to control themselves resulting in them violating a woman or girl's body because of what she said, wore, and/or did?
Really.?!
Again, I ask where do we draw the lines of who can and can't be assaulted, harassed, and/or raped? As long as there is any group of people including but not limited to adolescent and teenage “fast” girls, women, trans people, queer people, and sex workers who are marginalized, then all of us are vulnerable both because it's all subjective; and the lines of the margins shift all of the time. Who's acceptable today may not be acceptable tomorrow.
We must stop subscribing to this notion that rape is the justifiable penalty for ANY type of behavior or attire of clothing that we may not like or even disapprove of.
We must centralize the margins of the margins of the margins of society so that ALL of us are free from assault, harassment, rape, and other forms of sexual violence. No One Is Free While Others Are Oppressed. NO ONE IS FREE WHILE OTHERS ARE OPPRESSED.

Philadelphia Weekly Excerpts Part of Aishah Shahidah Simmons SlutWalk Philadelphia Speech
“When poet and speaker Aishah Shahidah Simmons addresses the crowd, she comes on like a lion. “History has shown it is our bodies that catch the most hell,” she says.” Though she does not identify as a poet, Simmons most definitely spoke with passionate fire about ending all forms of sexual violence.
The Philadelphia Weekly was one of few media outlets (WHYY, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Philadelphia Gay News being the others) who gave SlutWalk Philadelphia appropriate coverage.

Aishah Shahidah Simmons Believes Perpetrators Should Carry Responsibility for Rape, NOT the Victim/Survivors
On the eve before the SlutWalk Philadelphia, Aishah Shahidah Simmons expressed absolute clarity about who is responsible for sexual violence ~ the perpetrators.
在8月5日，2011年WHYY NewsWorks文章，西蒙斯说：“羞辱或指责不应该是幸存者。 它应放在肇事者。 像荡妇和妓女的话，不应该扮演的角色，在我们如何看待妇女被强奸或殴打。 That's what happens: she's a slut, she's a whore, she deserves what she gets. For me it's really challenging, this name-calling.”
