So Chana Joffe-Walt, one of our producers, has been reporting this story.
我们的制片人之一查纳·乔夫-沃尔特 (Chana Joffe-Walt) 一直在报道这个故事。
It's going be the whole hour today.
今天将是整整一个小时。
It's a really good one.
这真是一件好事。
Here she is.
她在这里。
When Vivian started reading about the men in Hollywood, and the media, and their sexual transgressions, she thought of the men in her past who had behaved poorly, the man who assaulted her in her 20s, and the others--
当薇薇安开始阅读有关好莱坞男人、媒体以及他们的性犯罪的内容时,她想到了过去那些表现不佳的男人,那个在她 20 多岁时袭击她的男人,以及其他人——
A few unwanted kisses over the years-- I mean, truly unwanted, drunken guys just sort of pushing themselves on me, and, you know, the usual array of jokes and comments, and this and that.
这些年来有一些不想要的吻——我的意思是,真正不想要的、醉酒的家伙只是把自己推向我,而且,你知道,通常的一系列笑话和评论,等等。
She thought of them, and she thought of Don, her partner of 23 years.
她想起了他们,也想起了她 23 年的伴侣唐。
And Vivian wondered.
薇薇安想知道。
Don was a boss to dozens of women.
唐是数十名女性的老板。
He ran AlterNet, a progressive news website, and he was a flirt.
他经营着一个进步新闻网站 AlterNet,而且他是一个调情者。
It was easy for me to imagine that Don had missed unspoken signals-- being a little too present, a little too close, a little too eager, a little too-- you know, those kinds of things.
我很容易想象唐错过了不言而喻的信号——有点太在场,有点太亲密,有点太渴望,有点太——你知道,诸如此类的事情。
She'd seen it.
她见过。
She'd seen Don's attention make women uncomfortable at parties, in restaurants.
她发现唐的关注让女人们在聚会和餐馆里感到不舒服。
And what would end up happening is I would catch her eye, and we would roll our eyes together-- like oh, God, men --there would be a sort of a bond there, and things would go on.
最终发生的事情是我会吸引她的目光,我们会一起翻白眼——就像哦,上帝,伙计们——那里会有一种纽带,事情会继续下去。
And this is like Don flirting with some woman in front of you.
这就像唐在你面前和某个女人调情一样。
Yes, I knew he was a flirt.
是的,我知道他是个调情人。
I also really knew that that didn't have anything to do with us.
我也确实知道这与我们没有任何关系。
That had to do with a need for attention.
这与需要关注有关。
Of course, of course.
当然,当然。
But it pass quickly.
但它很快就过去了。
It was usually very easy to move things along.
移动事情通常很容易。
Then I could step in.
然后我就可以介入了。
I could step between.
我可以介于两者之间。
I could engage her in conversation, whatever, right.
我可以和她交谈,无论如何,对吧。
Rarely, because I didn't think I'd be believed.
很少,因为我认为我不会被相信。
By him.
由他。
Vivian By him.
薇薇安 是他。
I think he'd sort of laugh it off, and say, oh, you just don't get it.
我想他会一笑而过,然后说,哦,你只是不明白。
It's all in fun-- which I do think was his attitude-- which I know was his attitude.
这一切都很有趣——我确实认为这就是他的态度——我知道这就是他的态度。
So a couple of months ago, when Don told Vivian that BuzzFeed News was writing a story about him, Vivian was not surprised.
因此,几个月前,当唐告诉薇薇安 BuzzFeed 新闻正在撰写一篇关于他的报道时,薇薇安并不感到惊讶。
People who used to work for Don at AlterNet were accusing Don of sexually harassing them.
曾经在 AlterNet 为 Don 工作的人指责 Don 对他们进行性骚扰。
Vivian read the article.
薇薇安读了这篇文章。
A number of women detailed encounters with Don-- unwanted advances, inappropriate touching, sending them explicit e-mails.
许多女性详细描述了与唐的遭遇——不受欢迎的挑衅、不恰当的触摸、向他们发送露骨的电子邮件。
Vivian recognized Don in some parts; others felt like they were describing a person she'd never met.
薇薇安在某些地方认出了唐;其他人则觉得他们在描述一个她从未见过的人。
Mostly, she had a particular experience reading that story that actually had nothing to do with Don.
大多数情况下,她在阅读这个故事时有一种特殊的经历,而实际上与唐无关。
A memory came back to me from when I was 28 that I'm sure I hadn't thought about since it happened.
我想起了 28 岁时的一段记忆,我确信自从这件事发生后我就没有再想过。
She was training to be a psychologist with a bunch of young trainees at a clinic.
她正在一家诊所与一群年轻的实习生一起接受心理学家培训。
She was in the back room where the staff took breaks and wrote notes.
她在后面的房间里,工作人员在那里休息并写笔记。
The supervisor was a man, as virtually all the supervisors at the time were, in his 40s, maybe even early 50s.
主管是一名男性,当时几乎所有主管都是男性,年龄在 40 多岁,甚至可能 50 岁出头。
Vivian was on the couch with a friend, a woman in her 40s, and the two of them watched as many of the young psychology interns, women Vivian's age, in their 20s, crowded around the supervisor.
维维安和一位 40 多岁的女性朋友坐在沙发上,两人看着许多年轻的心理实习生,与维维安年龄相仿的 20 多岁女性,挤在主管周围。
They're surrounding him, and sort of hanging on his words, and leaning in, and it's just got that-- no offense, his words weren't that interesting, you know.
他们围着他,有点听着他的话,向前倾身,结果就是这样——无意冒犯,你知道,他的话没那么有趣。
It's like, they were fine.
就好像,他们都很好。
But, oh my God, and he was eating it up.
但是,天啊,他竟然把它吃光了。
You could just see he loved this.
你可以看出他喜欢这个。
And then I'm sitting in the back of the room, on the couch with this other woman, Lynn, and she looks up and she goes, hm, the cupcakes.
然后我和另一个女人林恩坐在房间后面的沙发上,她抬起头来,嗯,纸杯蛋糕。
Vivian lost it.
维维安输了。
She loved this word.
她很喜欢这个词。
It was perfect.
太完美了。
And you understood immediately that that was meant to refer to the women who were surrounding the supervisor.
你立刻就明白了,这是指主管周围的女性。
Absolutely.
绝对地。
Absolutely.
绝对地。
And you know, and I was really proud that she was basically saying, you're not one of them.
你知道,我真的很自豪她基本上是在说,你不是他们中的一员。
You know, I did not want to be one of them.
你知道,我不想成为他们中的一员。
She was basically saying that you're cool and they're not.
她基本上是在说你很酷,而他们则不然。
Exactly, exactly.
完全正确。
Like we're grown up women, and they're not.
就像我们是成年女性一样,而她们不是。
Oh, God, yeah.
哦,上帝,是的。
That's who I want to be.
这就是我想成为的人。
That is where her mind when reading about her partner of two decades in the news-- the cupcakes.
当她在新闻中读到她二十年来的伴侣——纸杯蛋糕时,她的脑海里浮现的就是这个想法。
Vivian felt full of regret.
薇薇安心中充满了遗憾。
She regretted her contempt for the cupcakes.
她后悔自己对纸杯蛋糕的蔑视。
She regretted her acceptance that this was the way it would always be between men and women.
她很遗憾自己接受了男女之间永远都是这样的事实。
Men would have power, and women would have to deal with that.
男人拥有权力,而女人则必须面对权力。
What I found so interesting about this was, for Vivian, learning the news about Don sparked this memory that was not about Don, but in some ways it felt like it had everything to do with Don.
我发现这很有趣的是,对于薇薇安来说,得知有关唐的消息激发了这段与唐无关的记忆,但在某些方面感觉它与唐有关。
It explained something to her about who she is, and how she is, and choices and assumptions she's made in her life.
它向她解释了她是谁、她是怎样的以及她在生活中所做的选择和假设。
Now I want to tell you about another group of people I've been talking to, the women who worked for Don, including women who say they were harassed by him.
现在我想告诉你们我一直在交谈的另一群人,那些为唐工作的女性,包括那些说自己受到他骚扰的女性。
I talked with them, and they each told me their Don stories, but they also did the same thing Vivian did.
我和他们交谈,他们每个人都向我讲述了唐的故事,但他们也做了维维安所做的同样的事情。
They brought up specific experiences from their past, things that happened years ago.
他们带来了过去的具体经历,多年前发生的事情。
Because, for them, that stuff in the past feels related to their experiences with Don.
因为,对他们来说,过去的事情感觉与他们和唐的经历有关。
Over the last few months of Me Too stories, I keep wanting to hear more from the women who were in the news reports, their broader history, not just the bad experience they had with one man at an office or on a movie set, but the other moments before the harassment, because there is no Me Too moment that is actually separate from the rest of our lives.
在过去几个月的“我也是”故事中,我一直想听到更多新闻报道中的女性的声音,了解她们更广泛的历史,不仅仅是她们在办公室或电影片场与一个男人的糟糕经历,还有骚扰之前的其他时刻,因为没有一个“我也是”时刻实际上与我们的其他生活是分开的。
So today's show, we're going to do that.
所以今天的节目,我们就这么做。
Five women tell their stories, Vivian and four women who worked for her partner, Don Hazen, over the course of many years, at different times, with a wide range of experiences.
五名女性讲述了她们的故事,其中包括薇薇安和四名为她的伴侣唐·哈森工作的女性,她们在多年的不同时间、拥有广泛的经历。
We're going to hear from each of them one at a time about their experiences with Don, and their experiences before Don.
我们将一次听他们每个人讲述他们与唐在一起的经历,以及他们在唐面前的经历。
Don resigned from his job a few months ago, and told me the board that oversees AlterNet insisted he couldn't talk on the record.
Don 几个月前辞去了工作,并告诉我,监督 AlterNet 的董事会坚称他不能公开讲话。
I can tell you some about his version of events, but you won't be hearing from him.
我可以告诉你一些他对事件的看法,但你不会收到他的消息。
It's not a story about him, it's about them, these five women.
这不是一个关于他的故事,而是关于她们,这五个女人的故事。
What these women are doing is what I think so many of us have been doing lately.
我认为这些女性正在做的事情就是我们很多人最近一直在做的事情。
They're doing it in ways I found brave and vulnerable.
我觉得他们的做法既勇敢又脆弱。
They're re-evaluating who they are, how they've related to men, how they came to think of certain things as normal.
她们正在重新评估自己是谁,与男人的关系如何,如何将某些事情视为正常。
It's a reckoning, not just for men, for women.
这不仅是对男人的清算,也是对女人的清算。
It's This American Life.
这就是美国生活。
I'm Chana Joffe-Walt.
我是查娜·乔夫-沃尔特。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
This is probably evident by now, but just to say, we will talk about sex in this show, not just its existence, but some of the specifics.
现在这可能已经很明显了,但只是说,我们将在这个节目中谈论性,不仅仅是它的存在,而是一些细节。
And there are some moments of abuse, so take this as a heads up.
并且有一些滥用的时刻,所以请注意这一点。
OK.
好的。

七个月后,迪安娜得知唐有一个妻子,一个伴侣,实际上,对迪安娜来说,这种区别没有区别,因为唐解释说,这是他在一起多年的女人,维维安,你之前听说过她。

He wasn't thrown by me in a way that felt like other men had been.

He wasn't-- he just wasn't afraid of me.

He saw her as she wanted to be seen.

He didn't like lack of contact, or the wrong kind of contact.

He would say, why did you email me about personal stuff, and there's no work info in here?

Like, he would send these, like, super-victimy emails.
就像,他会发送这些超级受害者电子邮件。
That was also the point where he started talking to me more about the staff, and his frustrations at work, and his, I don't want to do all this anymore, but everyone that works for me is so incompetent that I have to be in there all the time doing all these things for them.
也是从那时起,他开始和我更多地谈论员工,以及他在工作中的挫败感,还有他的,我不想再做这一切了,但是为我工作的每个人都很无能,所以我必须一直在那里为他们做所有这些事情。
By now, Deanna had met a lot of Don's staff.
到目前为止,迪安娜已经认识了唐的很多员工。
He'd started flying her out to California as a consultant for AlterNet.
他开始带她飞往加利福尼亚州,担任 AlterNet 的顾问。
So she'd see him in his office.
所以她会在他的办公室见到他。
He was just a very demanding boss, just yelling at people, like, why can't you get this right, and what's wrong with you?

她想要支持他,就像他支持她一样,但这对她来说是全新的。
If we had been to an event together, he would watch how much I was drinking, and would accuse me later of drinking too much and being too tired to want to have sex with him, and starting a fight about that.
如果我们一起参加一个活动,他会观察我喝了多少酒,然后会指责我喝得太多,太累了,不想和他发生性关系,并为此开始争吵。

And two-- you know, and I would defend myself.

And then he would get really assertive, and red-faced, eyes bulging, you know, veins popping, and he was scary as shit when he was angry.
然后他就会变得非常自信,脸红,眼睛凸,你知道,血管爆裂,当他生气的时候,他简直可怕极了。
Deanna started giving in to sex.
迪安娜开始向性屈服。
Not I don't feel like it, but I love you sex.
不是我不喜欢,而是我爱你的性。
This was sex to end a fight.
这是为了结束争吵而发生的性行为。
Having sex could shut down the behavior that was not making sense, the parts that did not fit into Deanna's story of a powerful woman who was having adventures with a man who was not challenged by her power.
发生性行为可以阻止那些没有意义的行为,这些行为与迪安娜的故事不符。迪安娜讲述了一个强大的女人与一个没有受到她权力挑战的男人一起冒险的故事。

It was Onnesha's colleague, Laura, who noticed it first.
最先注意到这一点的是 Onnesha 的同事 Laura。
Here's Laura.
这是劳拉。
During that dinner, I glanced over and noticed that she was cutting up the meat on Don's plate, like his steak or something, and I was just like what-- I was just like, what is happening?
在那顿晚餐期间,我瞥了一眼,注意到她正在切唐盘子里的肉,比如他的牛排之类的,我当时就想——我就想,发生了什么事?
This is so strange to me.
这对我来说太奇怪了。
Cutting his meat, like she was leaning over his plate?

Oh, it was so weird.
哦,太奇怪了。
Oh, she's, like, cutting his meat for him.

Onnesha eventually noticed it, too, and she could not figure out what is up with this woman.

I just don't understand this dynamic.
我只是不明白这个动态。
Like, the manual I had constructed on how to navigate and deal with Don, I was just like flipping through all the pages, I was like, nope, nope, nope, what, no. I have no guide for this, where to place this behavior.
就像我编写的关于如何导航和处理唐的手册一样,我就像翻阅所有页面一样,我就像,不,不,不,什么,不。我没有这方面的指导,也不知道在哪里放置这种行为。
There's really no rationalization.
确实没有任何合理化。
I could think of no possible reason for that to be a thing happening right at that moment that made sense beyond, they're sleeping together.
我想不出任何可能的理由让那一刻发生的事情比他们睡在一起更有意义。
But it still didn't make sense.
但这仍然没有意义。
After that dinner, Laura and Onnesha left, and never mentioned it.
晚餐后,劳拉和奥内莎离开了,再也没有提起过这件事。
They didn't talk to each other about it, or anyone else in the office.
他们没有互相谈论这件事,也没有和办公室里的任何人谈论这件事。
Onnesha says it just didn't feel like fun office gossip.
奥内莎说,这感觉不像是有趣的办公室八卦。
It felt like something she didn't want anything to do with.
这感觉就像是她不想与之有任何关系的事情。
She didn't know anything about the woman sitting in that chair next to Don, but Onnesha had always known she did not want to be in that chair.
她对坐在唐旁边椅子上的那个女人一无所知,但奥内莎一直都知道她不想坐在那张椅子上。
Act 3, "Onnesha." Most other girls quit being friends with boys earlier, but Onnesha was 13, and she still liked her friends.
第三幕,“Onnesha”。大多数女孩都更早不再和男孩做朋友了,但 Onnesha 已经 13 岁了,她仍然喜欢她的朋友。
That summer, she hung out with the same boys she always had, in the same places-- the kitchen, her friend's basement playroom, or--
那年夏天,她和以前的男孩们一起出去玩,在同样的地方——厨房,她朋友的地下室游戏室,或者——
We would all go to the pool together, and I had this tie dyed bathing suit, this one-piece.
我们都会一起去游泳池,我有一套扎染的连体泳衣。
And you know, like, most of my other friends were, like, wearing bikinis.

At the snack bar, they would get popsicles.

You know, there would always be, like, talk about the scene at the pool, you know, like, talking about different girls, that would occasionally be part of a conversation.
你知道,总会有,比如,谈论游泳池里的场景,你知道,比如,谈论不同的女孩,这偶尔会成为谈话的一部分。
I think they probably reined it in when I was around, but there would occasionally be comments.
我认为当我在场时他们可能会控制住它,但偶尔会有评论。
And so they were, like, they had named someone The Hypnotizer.
所以他们,就像,他们给某人命名为“催眠师”。
Like, there was this title for some woman.
就像,这个头衔是给某个女人的。
It would have been nothing if it was like the other girls they talked about, a passing thing.
如果像她们谈论的其他女孩一样,只是一闪而过的话,那就没什么了。
But this one persisted for weeks.
但这种情况持续了数周。
It got to a point, I recall, where they talked about it enough that I was like, oh, who is she?
我记得,他们谈论得足够多,以至于我就想,哦,她是谁?
You know, I wanted to be in on it.
你知道,我想参与其中。
I was, like, show her to me, you know.

Oh, she's here.

It was the first time Onnesha had the feeling.

There was her, and there was someone else she hadn't known was there, a person who looked good to these boys, her friends.
那里有她,还有一个她不认识的人在那里,一个对这些男孩、她的朋友来说看起来很好的人。
I guess a part of me was pleased by that, but the more prevalent feeling was like whiplash.

They were talking about me in front of me.
他们在我面前谈论我。
It's like there was the me that was present and there and interacting with them, and then there was this other separate, objectified body.

It just feels like this whole other person enters the room.
感觉就像整个另一个人进入了房间。
Another person who is you?
另一个人是你吗?
Onnesha Yeah.
奥内莎 是的。
Well, or I guess, fundamentally, I felt the same.
嗯,或者我想,从根本上来说,我也有同样的感觉。
But suddenly, I had to reckon with the fact that I did not look the same to other people.
但突然间,我不得不面对这样一个事实:我在其他人看来并不一样。
It was obvious to Onnesha how to reckon with that.

She slouched.
她无精打采。
She wore baggy clothes.

It wasn't like a decision or anything, it was just instinct.
这不像是一个决定或什么,这只是本能。
She watched the girls in bikinis that summer, and considered if they somehow had the opposite instinct, or maybe they had made a decision to actively try to merge the two girls, the one with breasts and the one from before.
那年夏天,她看着那些穿比基尼的女孩,想着她们是否有相反的本能,或者也许她们已经决定积极尝试融合这两个女孩,一个有乳房的女孩,一个以前的女孩。
It really seemed easy for some of them, like they welcomed it.
对于他们中的一些人来说,这确实看起来很容易,就像他们对此表示欢迎一样。
And a part of me wishes that I could do that, sort of own it, you know, and, like, use it like a power.
我内心的一部分希望我能做到这一点,拥有它,你知道,并且,就像,像使用一种力量一样使用它。
And it's just never struck me as a power.
我从来没有觉得它是一种力量。
It feels like a false power.
感觉就像是一种虚假的力量。
It feels like if that is somehow getting me attention, like it could turn.
感觉如果这以某种方式引起了我的注意,就像它可能会扭转一样。
Like, that's not a safe kind of power to traffic in.
就像,这不是一种安全的交通力量。
By the time Onnesha met Don, she wouldn't have been able to say if wearing loose clothing was her fashion sense or strategy.
当奥内莎遇到唐时,她已经无法确定穿宽松的衣服是否是她的时尚感或策略。
She was 23 years old.
她当时23岁。
She'd been guarding against that separate person, The Hypnotizer, for a decade by that point.
在那之前的十年里,她一直在提防那个独立的人,催眠师。
AlterNet was Onnesha's first real job, the first time she had a desk that was hers, the first time she learned a male colleague was getting paid more than her for the same work, the first time she asked for a raise from her boss, Don, which did not go how Onnesha expected.
AlterNet 是 Onnesha 的第一份真正的工作,她第一次拥有一张属于自己的办公桌,第一次得知同一份工作,男同事的工资比她高,第一次向老板 Don 要求加薪,但结果并没有达到 Onnesha 的预期。
Yeah, so I, like, build this whole case, and I get in there, and I'm nervous.
是的,所以我喜欢构建整个案例,然后我就进去了,我很紧张。
I have my opening foray where I'm just like, you know, I've been doing x and y, and the quality of the work I've been doing, how I've been working really hard, and I'm like, you know, and it's hard to survive in this city on such a low salary.
我一开始就想,你知道,我一直在做x和y,以及我一直在做的工作的质量,我一直在努力工作,我想,你知道,以如此低的薪水很难在这个城市生存。
He just, like, latched onto that.
他只是抓住了这一点。
And he kind of leaned in, and was like, oh, are you having trouble paying rent?
他靠过来问,哦,你付房租有困难吗?
And I remember that so specifically, because it was like, my rent.
我记得很清楚,因为这就像我的房租。
It was so oddly personal, and unnecessary, and out of left field, and I was completely disarmed.
这太奇怪了,太个人化了,没有必要,而且超出了我的范围,我完全放下了武装。
And I didn't know how to respond.
我不知道该如何回应。
And I think I just sort of stuttered, and was like, no, it's not that.
我想我只是有点结巴,然后就想,不,不是那样的。
He wasn't offering to pay her rent directly, just did she need a salary increase to help pay her rent, which Onnesha did not want to talk about.
他并不是主动提出直接支付她的房租,只是她需要加薪来帮助支付房租,这是Onnesha不想谈论的。
I don't remember whether I said no, I'm not having trouble paying rent.
我不记得我是否拒绝了,我付房租没有困难。
I think I'd tried to avoid answering that, because I didn't want-- I felt like that was none of his business.
我想我曾试图避免回答这个问题,因为我不想——我觉得这不关他的事。
But when I tried to shift the conversation back to this is about being compensated, I don't remember if he got angry angry, but he was definitely visibly displeased.
但当我试图将话题转移回关于获得补偿时,我不记得他是否生气了,但他显然很不高兴。
And he did not want to give me a raise.
而且他不想给我加薪。
Wait, but had you-- what would have happened had you said, yeah, I am having trouble paying my rent.
等等,但是如果你——如果你说,是的,我付不起房租,会发生什么。
He would have won.
他本来会赢的。
Chana Joffe-Walt What do you mean, he would have won?
查纳·乔夫-沃尔特(Chana Joffe-Walt) 你是什么意思,他本来会赢?

You would have gotten more money.
你会得到更多的钱。
Chana Joffe-Walt Onnesha felt like Don was not talking to her, but to The Hypnotizer, that he did not want to engage her as a professional discussing her compensation, but as an attractive young woman struggling with her rent.
查娜·乔菲-沃尔特·奥内莎 (Chana Joffe-Walt Onnesha) 觉得唐不是在跟她说话,而是在跟催眠师说话,他不想让她作为一个专业人士来讨论她的薪酬,而是作为一个为房租而苦苦挣扎的有吸引力的年轻女性。
He didn't want to be a boss paying for her work, but a savior paying for her life.
他不想做一个为她工作付出代价的老板,而是为她付出生命的救世主。
Onnesha didn't want that kind of help.
奥内莎不需要那种帮助。
Maybe it's kind of petty, but I was like, you are not going to win.
也许这有点小事,但我当时想,你不会赢。
[CHUCKLING] Like, you don't get to have this.
[咯咯笑]就像,你不能拥有这个。
Act 4, "The Cliff." The summer of Onnesha's first year at AlterNet, Don left for several weeks of sabbatical.

I'm Chana Joffe-Walt.

今天的节目是《五个女人》。我们想借鉴 Me Too 的一个故事,在其中你会听到女性在工作场所与滥用权力的男性的遭遇,并将其扩展以了解遭遇之前女性的生活。
And we're telling the story of several women who worked for the same person, Don Hazen, at AlterNet over the course of 13 years.

Act 5, "Tana.".
第五幕,“塔娜”。
Tana was asked to have an opinion about Anita Hill.
塔娜被问及对安妮塔·希尔的看法。
It was 1991, and she was in the third grade.
那是1991年,她上三年级。
Her opinion was that it was wrong, because she knew that was the opinion she was supposed to have.
她的意见是这是错误的,因为她知道这是她应该有的意见。
The opinion Tana actually had was not one she imagined the adults were asking for.
塔娜实际上的意见并不是她想象中的大人们所要求的。
I remember thinking that it wasn't that big of a deal, but I think that my natural instinct-- and I mean, again, I was a child --was maybe people were freaking out a little bit too much.
我记得我当时想这没什么大不了的,但我认为我的本能——我的意思是,我还是个孩子——也许人们有点害怕了。
Maybe everyone should be a little bit more chill.
也许每个人都应该冷静一点。
By 10th grade, she was stronger in her conviction.
到了十年级,她的信念更加坚定了。
She knew about sex, and she knew about feminism, and she believed that if Monica Lewinsky wanted to have sex with someone, or blow them, or whatever actually happened in the Oval Office, that was her choice.
她了解性,也了解女权主义,她相信,如果莫妮卡·莱温斯基想和某人发生性关系,或者给他们口交,或者椭圆形办公室里实际发生的任何事情,那都是她的选择。
Men had been allowed to follow their bliss forever.
人们被允许永远追求他们的幸福。
They went a little too far, but that had been corrected, and now Tana could see things had swung too far in the other direction.
他们有点太过分了,但这一点已经得到纠正,现在塔娜可以看到事情已经朝另一个方向走得太远了。
Oh, nobody can have sex anymore.
哦,没有人可以再发生性行为了。
That's terrible.
太可怕了。
That was the impression I got.
这就是我的印象。
Like, I just envisioned the US workplace as a bunch of bureaucratic, fun-hating HR people taking you to jail if you said someone looked nice.
就像,我只是想象美国的工作场所是一群官僚、讨厌有趣的人力资源人员,如果你说某人看起来不错,就会把你送进监狱。
One of her first bosses was Jeff.
她的第一位老板是杰夫。
He ran a shop in town.
他在城里经营一家商店。
Tana had just started college, but it was summer, so she spent most of her days at the shop.
塔娜刚刚上大学,但当时是夏天,所以她大部分时间都在商店里度过。
And he would always tell me these awful things about his wife, where he'd say, you know, she's so beautiful, when she walks down a restaurant, all men, you know, whiplash to check her out, but I'm just sick of her.
他总是会告诉我关于他妻子的这些可怕的事情,他会说,你知道,她是如此美丽,当她走进一家餐馆时,所有男人,你知道,都想看看她,但我只是厌倦了她。
Want to go out to dinner, can I get you a sandwich?
想出去吃饭,我可以给你买个三明治吗?
You know, like, you're so tiny.
你知道吗,你太小了。
Can I grab your waist?
我可以抱住你的腰吗?
He definitely tried to physically grab me a lot.
他确实经常试图用身体抓住我。
It was irritating, but Tana tried really hard not to show it because Jeff was middle-aged, miserable, she'd heard his wife kicked him out.
这很令人恼火,但塔娜努力不表现出来,因为杰夫已经中年,很痛苦,她听说他的妻子把他赶了出去。
A coworker said he found Jeff in the shop one morning, waking up surrounded by beer bottles.
一位同事说,一天早上他在店里发现杰夫,醒来时周围都是啤酒瓶。
He made Tana uncomfortable, but he was so pitiful that it felt unreasonable to attach any value to her discomfort.
他让塔娜感到不舒服,但他是如此可怜,以至于对她的不舒服给予任何重视都感觉不合理。
Like when her friend at work, a guy her age, told her, Jeff always talks about you.
就像她的工作朋友(一个与她同龄的人)告诉她,杰夫总是谈论你。
It's really creepy.
真是令人毛骨悚然。
And he goes, [SIGHING] Jeff always talks to me about how he just wants to put his head between your breasts, and just go
然后他说,[叹息]杰夫总是跟我说他只是想把他的头放在你的乳房之间,然后就走
Like the motorboating sound, and this guy said that.
喜欢摩托艇的声音,这个家伙这么说。
And I was like, are you kidding me?
我当时想,你在开玩笑吗?
That's the saddest thing.
这才是最可悲的事情。
That's what a 12-year-old would say.
这是一个12岁的孩子会说的话。
This is a grown-ass man.
这是一个成熟的男人。
How could he say that?
他怎么能这么说呢?
I just remember being, like, so grossed out.

Jeff denies all of this, by the way.
顺便说一下,杰夫否认了这一切。
Tana did tell her parents, though it took her a while.

They were protective.

She was worried they would make her quit.
她担心他们会让她辞职。
And then, they were driving one day, her mom, her dad, Tana in the backseat.
然后,有一天他们开车,她的妈妈,她的爸爸,塔娜坐在后座。
Then I was like, mom and dad, I have something to tell you.
然后我就想,爸爸妈妈,我有话要告诉你们。
And I was very dramatic about it.
我对此感到非常戏剧化。
And they're like what?
而他们就像什么?
What happened?
发生了什么?
And I remember, like, taking a deep breath and saying--
我记得,就像,深呼吸然后说——
[SIGHING] --I've been sexually harassed.
[叹气]——我受到了性骚扰。
And they kind of laughed in my face, and they're like, what the hell do you expect, you're a 19-year-old woman.
他们当着我的面嘲笑我,他们说,你到底想做什么,你是一个 19 岁的女人。
Of course you're being sexually harassed.
当然,你被性骚扰了。
I thought, oh, that's just a thing that happens that I can accept everywhere I'm going to work.
我想,哦,这只是发生在我要去工作的任何地方我都可以接受的事情。
Chana Joffe-Walt Tana worked a lot of different jobs and got a lot of education-- college, graduate school, which did not open a path to a graduate school job, but a job at a Whole Foods.
查纳·乔夫-沃尔特·塔纳做过很多不同的工作,接受过很多教育——大学、研究生院,这并没有为研究生院工作开辟道路,而是在全食超市工作。
That's when her roommate told her she knew an editor of a political news website.
就在那时,她的室友告诉她,她认识一个政治新闻网站的编辑。
Would Tana be interested?
塔娜有兴趣吗?
I can't even imagine a world in which I would go from working at Whole Foods to working in journalism.
我什至无法想象我会从全食超市工作转到新闻工作的世界。
And she was like, well, just have an interview with this guy.
她说,好吧,去采访一下这个人吧。
On her way out the door to meet Don, her roommate said, if you get that job, you'll definitely be sexually harassed.
在出门见唐的路上,她的室友说,如果你得到那份工作,你肯定会受到性骚扰。
I just kind of thought, well, that's just the way it is.
我只是想,好吧,事情就是这样。
The Interview went well, which felt great to Tana, because she was used to bombing interviews.
采访进行得很顺利,这对塔娜来说感觉很好,因为她已经习惯了轰炸采访。
She was so shy.
她很害羞。
It was raining when she and Don walked out of the building.
当她和唐走出大楼时,天正下着雨。
He offered her a ride.

She said no, I'll take the train.
她说不用了,我还是坐火车吧。
He said no, no, I'll give you a ride.
他说不不不,我送你一程。
I'll give you a ride.
我送你一程。
And he kind of insisted on it.
他有点坚持这样做。
And I remember I got in his car, and I-- and this is so silly, and he even made fun of me about this years later, where I said, I really want the job, I would even do it for free until I prove myself that I can do it.
我记得我上了他的车,我——这太傻了,几年后他甚至取笑我,我说,我真的很想要这份工作,我什至会免费做它,直到我证明自己能做到。
In hindsight, I want to slap my dumb 25-year-old self.
事后看来,我真想给25岁的愚蠢自己一巴掌。
Fortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to screw myself over that way.
幸运的是,我没有机会这样把自己搞砸了。
Because Don brushed that idea off as ridiculous.
因为唐认为这个想法很荒谬。
In the interview, Don suggested Tana might start editing a section at AlterNet they recently created about sex.
在采访中,唐建议塔纳可以开始在 AlterNet 上编辑他们最近创建的有关性的部分。
So it didn't seem totally out of nowhere that, toward the end of the ride, he has sort of like casually put his hand on my knee, and said something like, so I hear you and your roommates have pretty wild and crazy sex lives.
所以,在旅程即将结束时,他有点像随意地把手放在我的膝盖上,说了一些类似的话,所以我听说你和你的室友的性生活非常狂野和疯狂,这似乎并不是完全凭空而来。
I think I said something like, oh, haha, yeah.
我想我说了类似的话,哦,哈哈,是的。
Life's pretty crazy, or something like that.
生活很疯狂,或者类似的事情。
I just-- on some level, I very passively did nothing.
我只是——在某种程度上,我非常被动地什么也没做。
And did you feel bad, neutral, just like, whatever?
你是否感觉很糟糕,中立,就像什么?
It felt bad.
感觉很糟糕。
But also, I was ecstatic, because I felt like I had a real shot at the job.
而且,我也很欣喜若狂,因为我觉得我真正有机会胜任这份工作。
She called her friend to thank her.

She said, as you warned me, he got a little sexually harrassy, but I'm so excited.
她说,正如你警告我的那样,他有点性骚扰,但我很兴奋。
I think I got it.
我想我明白了。
She did.
她做到了。
And from the beginning, Tana understood that her attractiveness to Don meant she'd be seen rather than ignored.
从一开始,塔娜就明白,她对唐的吸引力意味着她会被看到,而不是被忽视。
Tana was seen by Don all the time.
塔娜一直被唐看到。
He'd take pictures of her sometimes when she wasn't looking, and send them to her.
有时他会趁她不注意的时候给她拍照片并发送给她。
He was generous with his attention, and controlling, usually at the same time.
他通常同时表现出慷慨的关注和控制力。
There is no way to tease the two apart, and she accepted them both.
没有办法将两者分开,她就接受了。
He appreciated her legs, which he told her.
他告诉她,他很欣赏她的腿。
He did not seem to love her personality.
他似乎并不喜欢她的性格。
So I remember once we were at lunch, he was like Tana, what do you have to say?
所以我记得有一次我们吃午饭时,他就像塔纳一样,你有什么要说的吗?
You can't even talk.
你甚至不能说话。
And I was really sick, so I kind of, like, coughed a little bit because I had the flu or something.
我真的病了,所以我有点咳嗽,因为我得了流感什么的。
And I remember he-- in front of everyone-- fake coughed.
我记得他在所有人面前假装咳嗽。
He was like,
他就像,
[FAKE COUGHING] All you do is ever cough.
[假咳嗽] 你所做的就是咳嗽。
That's all you ever do.
这就是你所做的一切。
Is that the only thing you can ever even say?
这是你唯一能说的话吗?
At a party, Don rubbed Tana's shoulders and asked if she wanted another drink.
在一次聚会上,唐揉着塔娜的肩膀,问她是否还想再喝一杯。
When she said no, he grabbed Tana's wrist, twisted her arm, and pushed her into a table.
当她拒绝时,他抓住塔娜的手腕,扭动她的手臂,把她推到桌子上。
He had to be physically separated from her.
他必须与她身体分离。
He apologized later, and she forgave him easily.
后来他道歉了,她也轻易地原谅了他。
Don was old to her, pervy, but again, sort of pathetic.
唐对她来说很老,很邪恶,但又有点可怜。
It felt inappropriate to read him as anything else.
将他视为其他任何人感觉不合适。
I remember there was one woman in the office who started freaking out and crying because Don told her that the color of her shirt looked nice on her.
我记得办公室里有一位女士开始惊慌失措并哭泣,因为唐告诉她她衬衫的颜色穿在她身上很好看。
And my reaction was like, all right, everyone, everyone's being hysterical here.
我的反应是,好吧,每个人,每个人都在歇斯底里。
It's a nice colored shirt, chill the fuck out, was my inner thought.
这是一件漂亮的彩色衬衫,他妈的冷静点,这是我内心的想法。
There was another woman who was really funny, actually, when she found the porn printed out in the printer, she-- you know, we were all giggling about it, because we all knew who it was.
还有另一个女人真的很有趣,事实上,当她发现打印机打印出的色情片时,她——你知道,我们都为此咯咯笑,因为我们都知道那是谁。
It was so obvious.
太明显了。
And she sent this hilarious email to all of editorial that was something to the effect of, whoever decided to print out porn in the office, please abstain from--
她向所有社论人员发送了这封搞笑的电子邮件,其大意是,无论谁决定在办公室打印色情内容,请放弃——
It was Don, obviously.
显然是唐。
Chana Joffe-Walt One of Tana's coworkers, another young woman, quit because of Don's bullying.
查纳·乔夫-沃尔特 (Chana Joffe-Walt) 塔纳的一位同事,另一位年轻女性,因唐的欺凌而辞职。
It's like survival of the fittest, like, I can handle the bullying and the sexual harassment.
就像适者生存一样,我可以应对欺凌和性骚扰。
She couldn't.
她不能。
Tana was the cool girl who could take it.
塔娜(Tana)是一个可以承受的酷女孩。
She was comfortable in that role.
她对这个角色感到很舒服。
It gave her more power professionally to have the attention of the most powerful person in the office, even if it meant accepting the attention that was not professional, like when Don kept telling her he wanted to buy her a black cocktail dress he thought would look great on her body.
吸引办公室里最有权势的人的注意给了她更多的专业权力,即使这意味着接受非专业的关注,就像唐一直告诉她他想给她买一件他认为穿在她身上很漂亮的黑色鸡尾酒会礼服时。
So I just thought it was really kind of sad, or bittersweet, or semi-pathetic.
所以我只是觉得这真的有点悲伤,或者苦乐参半,或者半可悲。
He thought I needed for him to buy me this dress, when I could have just bought it myself.
他认为我需要他给我买这件衣服,而我本来可以自己买。
And midway through that indignant thought, Tana felt guilty.
在这个愤怒的想法中,塔娜感到内疚。
Don wanted to be generous, to be a wealthy, charming man who could give her beautiful things.
唐想要变得慷慨,成为一个富有、有魅力的男人,可以给她美好的东西。
This was not the way she saw him, which made her feel bad for him.
这不是她看待他的方式,这让她为他感到难过。
And then I actually did end up buying it.
然后我真的最终买了它。
And you know, this is where I wonder, was I not clear enough about setting boundaries.
你知道,这就是我想知道的地方,是不是我对于设定界限还不够清楚。
So I bought the dress.
所以我买了这件衣服。
I told him, oh yeah, guess what, I bought this dress, because I have $90.
我告诉他,哦,是的,你猜怎么着,我买了这件衣服,因为我有 90 美元。
Don seemed pleased.
唐看上去很高兴。
But then she didn't like the dress.
但后来她不喜欢这件衣服。
She didn't like the way it fit her, which she told him.
她告诉他,她不喜欢它适合她的方式。
And he was like, oh, give it to me.
他说,哦,把它给我吧。
I'm going to give it to my girlfriend.
我要把它送给我女朋友。
It will look better on her, because due to years of yoga, she has curves and muscles that are in separate places than you do.
她穿起来会更好看,因为由于多年的瑜伽练习,她的曲线和肌肉与你的位置不同。
When you say, this is where I feel, like, confused about, what is it that you feel confused about?
当你说,这就是我感到困惑的地方,你感到困惑的是什么?
If I didn't set clear enough boundaries to more clearly communicate that this exchange made me uncomfortable.
如果我没有设定足够清晰的界限来更清晰地沟通,那么这种交流会让我感到不舒服。
That's what you're supposed to do.
这就是你应该做的。
You know, you say, no.
你知道,你说,不。
That first time Don drove her home and put his hand on her knee, Tana did not say, no. Instead, she entered into an unspoken agreement between a cool girl and a flirty boss.
唐第一次开车送她回家并将手放在她的膝盖上时,塔纳没有说“不”。相反,她在一个酷女孩和一个轻浮的老板之间达成了一个无声的协议。
He'd look after her career, and he'd flirt with her while he was doing it.
他会照顾她的事业,并在照顾她的同时与她调情。
The rules were clear to Tana.
塔娜很清楚规则。
You don't say no. Saying no would destroy the agreement from which both parties have something to gain.
你不说不。拒绝会破坏双方都能从中获益的协议。
You don't ask, why do you want to buy me this dress?
你不会问,你为什么要给我买这件衣服?
You don't say, please don't rub my back, or please stop taking pictures of me.
你不会说,请不要揉我的背,或者请停止给我拍照。
You don't reply when he says by email what he wants for his birthday is sex with a mysterious blonde woman, and then adds, or you could just put on a wig.
当他通过电子邮件说他想要在生日那天与一位神秘的金发女郎发生性关系时,你不会回复,然后补充道,或者你可以戴上假发。
When Don asked Tana to his New York apartment for meetings, she followed the agreement.
当唐邀请塔娜到他纽约的公寓开会时,她遵守了协议。
She said nothing.
她什么也没说。
There was no office in New York, so it was easy to pretend this was appropriate.
纽约没有办公室,所以很容易假装这是合适的。
One night, they met.
一天晚上,他们相遇了。
They talked about work, and then Don wanted to keep hanging out.
他们谈论了工作,然后唐想继续出去玩。
It was getting kind of late, and we we're drinking, and he was like, hold on, just one second.
时间已经很晚了,我们正在喝酒,他说,等一下,等一下。
I'm like, oh, my God, what's he going to come out with?
我想,天哪,他会带来什么?
He comes back out-- runs back out to the table --with a paper bag filled with photographs.
他回来了——跑回到桌子旁——带着一个装满照片的纸袋。
And he says, you know, these are photos from my past.
他说,你知道,这些是我过去的照片。
So he starts, like, showing me all of these old photographs from the '70s and '80s, and they're basically almost exclusively of very conventionally beautiful blond women.
所以他开始向我展示所有这些 70 年代和 80 年代的老照片,它们基本上都是非常传统的美丽金发女性。
So he was like, like this was my ex-girlfriend at this point, this was my ex-girlfriend at this point.
所以他就像,这就是我的前女友,这是我的前女友。
I was like, all right, cool, a lot of blondes.
我当时想,好吧,很酷,有很多金发女郎。
Like, I don't know why are you showing me this stuff.
就像,我不知道你为什么给我看这些东西。
And then he, like, gets a photo, and then he says, and this is an artistic photograph of my penis.
然后他拍了一张照片,然后他说,这是我阴茎的艺术照片。
And he hands me this photo, and it's like, a black and white photograph of an erect penis.
他递给我这张照片,它就像一张勃起阴茎的黑白照片。
And he just did it so casually.
而他就是这么随意地做的。
I just kind of look at it, and hand it back to him.
我只是看看它,然后把它还给他。
I'm like, my God, did my boss just show me a picture of his dick?
我想,天哪,我的老板刚刚给我看了一张他的鸡巴的照片吗?
And I was like, yeah.
我当时想,是的。
Yeah, he did.
是的,他做到了。
This did seem like a violation of the agreement.
这看起来确实违反了协议。
I mean, it was an artistic picture.
我的意思是,这是一幅艺术画。
It was black and white.
它是黑白的。
It was from the '70s.
那是 70 年代的事。
I mean, I definitely didn't say, hey, you know what I'd love to see right now?
我的意思是,我绝对没有说,嘿,你知道我现在想看到什么吗?
A picture of your erect penis from the '70s.
一张 70 年代勃起阴茎的照片。
Like, it was definitely not the most appropriate thing to do to a female subordinate, right?
这么说来,对一个女下属来说,这绝对不是最合适的吧?
That's seems very true.
这似乎是真的。
Are you still doubting if that was appropriate or not?
您还在怀疑这样做是否合适吗?
It was obviously inappropriate.
这显然是不合适的。
I definitely didn't enjoy the experience.
我绝对不喜欢这次经历。
I told a million people about it contemporaneously like, hey guys, guess who's dick I just saw against my will right now.
我同时告诉了一百万人这件事,就像,嘿伙计们,猜猜我现在违背自己的意愿看到了谁是混蛋。
But also, we were in his apartment, it was late at night, and we were drinking.
而且,我们在他的公寓里,当时已经是深夜了,我们正在喝酒。
It just seems like a 60-something-year-old man who's in charge of, you know, 25 different people should just kind of know that you don't show a young female subordinate a picture of your penis even if it is from the '70s, even if it is late at night, and even if she doesn't say, hey, this is wrong.
看起来就像一个 60 多岁的男人,负责 25 个不同的人,应该知道你不会向年轻女下属展示你阴茎的照片,即使是 70 年代的照片,即使是在深夜,即使她没有说,嘿,这是错误的。
There are certain standards of behavior that seem like they should be obvious to everyone.
有一些行为标准似乎对每个人来说都是显而易见的。
But it seemed like they were not obvious to Don.
但对唐来说,这些似乎并不明显。
Don seemed to think it was appropriate to show her that picture.
唐似乎认为向她展示那张照片是合适的。
So Tana thought, maybe there was no unspoken agreement between them.
塔娜想,也许他们之间并没有什么不言而喻的约定。
Maybe the agreement, and the boundaries of that agreement, were something Tana imagined on her own.
也许这份协议,以及协议的界限,是塔娜自己想象出来的。
In the beginning, as a new employee with no experience, Tana's power was her attractiveness to Don.
一开始,作为一个没有经验的新员工,塔娜的力量在于她对唐的吸引力。
She had tried to use that to her advantage.
她曾试图利用这一点为自己谋利。
It was the same power that Onnesha did not want to use when she asked Don for a raise, the power of The Hypnotizer.
当奥内莎向唐加薪时,她不想使用同样的力量,即催眠师的力量。
Tana engaged, Onnesha did not.
塔娜订婚了,奥内莎没有订婚。
It cost them both in different ways.
他们都以不同的方式付出了代价。
New people came in to AlterNet, and Tana trained a lot of them.
新人加入 AlterNet,Tana 培训了很多人。
Many of them were young women, and one of them came to Tana and said, we've got to do something about Don's behavior.
他们中的许多人都是年轻女性,其中一位来找塔纳说,我们必须对唐的行为采取一些措施。
And I said, are you kidding?
我说,你在开玩笑吗?
You're not going to change anything.
你不会改变任何事情。
I don't think it's a good idea.
我认为这不是一个好主意。
I can't do this.
我不能这样做。
Tana felt for this woman, but she did not understand her, and why she thought anyone would care about this.
塔娜同情这个女人,但她不明白她,也不明白为什么她认为有人会关心这件事。
She said, this isn't news that this happens.
她说,发生这种事并不是新闻。
It was like, yeah, dude, what do you expect?
就像,是的,伙计,你期待什么?
Yeah, you were your parents in the car that day.
是的,那天车里的你就是你的父母。
Right.
正确的。
Chana Joffe-Walt The young woman was Kristen, the NYU student who Don spotted at the protest, Terminator-like, while Deanna watched.
查娜·乔菲-沃尔特 这位年轻女子是克里斯汀,唐在抗议活动中发现的纽约大学学生,她的样子像终结者,而迪安娜在一旁观看。
Now, Kristen was full of urgency, and she was ready to fight.

Act Six: Kristen Chana Joffe-Walt Act 6, "Kristen."

Kristen was 13 and she got a note.
克里斯汀 13 岁,她收到了一张纸条。
Well, she never actually saw the note, even though it was apparently written to her.
好吧,她从未真正看到过这张纸条,尽管它显然是写给她的。
It was intercepted by a teacher.
被老师拦截了。
But she knew what it said, because everyone in school knew.
但她知道上面写的是什么,因为学校里的每个人都知道。
It was from the boys lacrosse team.
这是男子长曲棍球队的。
Dear Kristen, you have nice boobs.
亲爱的克里斯汀,你的胸部很好。
You should use them.
你应该使用它们。
Kristen remembers how absurd it seemed, and laughing with her friends at the note, and the boys.
克里斯汀记得这看起来多么荒谬,她和她的朋友们以及男孩们一起大笑。
(MOCKING TONE) Use your boobs.
(嘲笑的语气)用你的胸部。
We were, like, joking about it.
我们就像开玩笑一样。
Better put them to use.
更好地利用它们。
The boys lacrosse team needs them.
男子长曲棍球队需要他们。
Like, ooh, what do they want to do with them?
就像,哦,他们想用它们做什么?
Like, how could-- boys, how could you use my boobs on the lacrosse team?
就像,孩子们,你们怎么能在长曲棍球队中使用我的胸部?
It was just stupid.
这太愚蠢了。
One of the boys who signed the note was Kristen's boyfriend, but the two never talked about it, because they never talked, because they we're in seventh grade, and that's what it meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
在纸条上签名的男孩之一是克里斯汀的男朋友,但是两人从来没有谈论过这件事,因为他们从来没有说过话,因为我们在七年级,这就是男朋友和女朋友的意义。
The guidance counselor came for Kristen in the middle of class.
课间,辅导员来找克里斯汀。
They walked to her office, and she asked Kristen what she thought of the note.
他们走到她的办公室,她问克里斯汀她对这张纸条的看法。
And I was like, I don't know, I think they're just like being stupid boys.
我当时想,我不知道,我认为他们就像是愚蠢的男孩。
And she was like, you're a victim of sexual harassment.
她说,你是性骚扰的受害者。
And I just remember being like, feeling really weird that she said that to me, because it sounded so serious.
我只记得她对我这么说时感觉很奇怪,因为听起来很严肃。
And I just, like-- just like, can we just let it go?
我只是,就像——就像,我们可以放手吗?
You know, one of these guys is your boyfriend.
你知道,这些人之一就是你的男朋友。
What does he think, that this is cute?
他觉得怎么样,这很可爱吗?
And I was like, I don't know.
我当时想,我不知道。
I don't even know him.
我什至不认识他。
Like, he's an idiot.
就像,他是个白痴。
Like, he's not going to be my boyfriend anymore.
就像,他不再是我的男朋友了。
And then I thought she was angry with me, because I wasn't freaking out about this letter.
然后我以为她生我的气,因为我并没有因为这封信而感到害怕。
But that's how I felt.
但这就是我的感受。
You were not performing victim of sexual harassment correctly.
你没有正确扮演性骚扰受害者。
Yeah, I was just performing like child in a room.
是的,我只是在房间里像个孩子一样表演。
I'm 12, and you're an adult talking about my body, and boys, and it's so uncomfortable.
我 12 岁了,你们是一个成年人,谈论我的身体,还有男孩们,这太不舒服了。
I remember, I even zipped my hoodie up real, real tight, all the way to the top, because I thought that she would make a comment about my boobs showing or something.
我记得,我什至把连帽衫的拉链拉得非常非常紧,一直拉到顶部,因为我认为她会对我的胸部展示或其他什么发表评论。
It's not like Kristen couldn't imagine some girl being upset by that note.
克里斯汀并不是无法想象某个女孩会因为这张纸条而感到不安。
She could.
她可以。
And she could imagine some girl might enjoy that note.
她可以想象某个女孩可能会喜欢这张纸条。
But she was the girl.
但她就是那个女孩。
She owned the boobs they we're talking about, that everyone was now talking about.
她拥有我们正在谈论的胸部,现在每个人都在谈论。
And then there was a thing in the auditorium, and this girl who I didn't know at all sat down next to me and was like, I heard about the note.
然后礼堂里发生了一件事情,这个我根本不认识的女孩坐在我旁边,就像是,我听说了这张纸条。
Are you OK?
你还好吗?
And all of that kind of shit was just making me so uncomfortable.
所有这些事情都让我感到非常不舒服。
I was just like, yeah, I'm fine.
我当时就想,是的,我很好。
I didn't care.
我不在乎。
What I remember caring about was the guidance counselor for not just letting it be a stupid kid thing, and making it into like an attempted rape or something.
我记得我关心的是辅导员,他不仅让它成为一个愚蠢的孩子的事情,而且把它变成了强奸未遂之类的东西。
Is that how it felt?
是这样的感觉吗?
Kristen It just felt like they wanted me to cry, and act like it was the worst thing that ever happened to me, and I was so violated.
克里斯汀 感觉他们想让我哭,表现得好像这是我经历过的最糟糕的事情,我被侵犯了。
When Kristen was raped a few years later, it took her a while to use that word.
几年后,当克里斯汀被强奸时,她花了一段时间才使用这个词。
He took advantage of me is what Kristen said at first.
克里斯汀一开始是这么说的,他利用了我。
When that didn't feel right, she said, he's an asshole.
当感觉不对时,她说,他是个混蛋。
But that didn't seem right either.
但这似乎也不正确。
She had no word to summarize the experience.
她没有用言语来总结这次经历。
Something that I didn't like that was wrong, but it wasn't what I imagined rape would be like, and it wasn't as scary as I thought that it would be.
我不喜欢的事情是错误的,但这不是我想象的强奸的样子,也没有我想象的那么可怕。
She was at her friend's house for a party.
她在朋友家参加一个聚会。
It was late.
已经很晚了。
People were going to sleep, and she climbed up to the top of a bunk bed to get away from an older guy who was creeping her out.
人们都要去睡觉了,她爬到双层床的顶部,以摆脱一个让她感到害怕的年长男人。
Kristen was drunk.
克里斯汀喝醉了。
She remembers her face felt numb.
她记得她的脸感到麻木。
She remembers hearing someone banging on the door, which you later found out he had locked before he climbed up into the bunk bed and took her clothes off.
她记得听到有人敲门,后来你发现他已经锁上了门,然后他爬上双层床,脱掉了她的衣服。
She said no, but he had sex with her anyway.
她说不,但他还是和她发生了性关系。
Sex-- that didn't feel like the right word, either.
性——这个词感觉也不太合适。
Kristen noticed her friends doing the same thing, describing their experiences with boys in different tones, in different arrangements.
克里斯汀注意到她的朋友们也在做同样的事情,用不同的语气、不同的安排描述他们与男孩的经历。
And then there was the friend who wouldn't say anything at all about what happened, except she was upset and didn't want to talk about it.
还有一位朋友,她对所发生的事情根本不肯说什么,只是她很沮丧,不想谈论这件事。
And eventually she did explain.
最终她确实做出了解释。
He said, can I just put it in you for a second?
他说,我可以把它放在你身上一会儿吗?
Her friend said, no. He did anyway.
她的朋友说,不。不管怎样,他还是这么做了。
That's when Kristen said she felt like she had an understanding to share.
就在那时,克里斯汀说她觉得自己有一种理解可以分享。
All those times when we were mad at those boys because of what they did to us.
那些时候,我们因为那些男孩对我们所做的事而对他们感到愤怒。
We were mad because they raped us, you know.
我们很生气,因为他们强奸了我们,你知道。
And there was like, several of my friends where it took us a really long time to put the word to it.
我的几个朋友花了很长时间才说出这句话。
When she added them up, all their experiences, Kristen felt like boys we're aiming their behavior so it would come in just under the line of something that had a name.
当她把他们所有的经历加起来时,克里斯汀觉得我们就像男孩一样,我们正在瞄准他们的行为,这样它们就会出现在有名字的东西的下面。
Like they were playing a game to see what they can get away with, that's what I kind of realized from it, the way that a guy is going to screw you over most likely isn't going to be he's going to rape you in an alley.
就像他们在玩游戏,看看他们能逃脱什么惩罚一样,这就是我从中意识到的,一个人搞砸你的方式很可能不会是他会在小巷里强奸你。
It's going to be something that people might doubt.
这将是人们可能会怀疑的事情。
And it's not going to look like the worst examples of things or the most clear cut.
而且它看起来不会是最糟糕的例子,也不会是最清晰的例子。
And it's intentional, and that's why it's scary.
这是故意的,这就是为什么它很可怕。
Like, they toe the-- actually, I think maybe they don't believe that what they did was wrong, because it doesn't look like what they consider rape.
就像,他们听从——实际上,我想也许他们不相信自己所做的事情是错误的,因为这看起来不像他们认为的强奸。
Rape.
强奸。
The word was congruent with the way she felt about it.
这个词与她的感受是一致的。
That, she decided, was what mattered.
她认为这才是最重要的。
And I think maybe after that, I was just ready.
我想也许在那之后,我就准备好了。
I don't know.
我不知道。
I wasn't waiting anymore to call something what it was.
我不再等待称呼某件事是什么了。
Chana Joffe-Walt Four years later, Kristen met Don at a protest, graduated from college, and accepted a job at AlterNet.
查纳·乔夫-沃尔特 四年后,克里斯汀在一次抗议活动中遇见了唐,大学毕业,并接受了 AlterNet 的工作。
She was 21, AlterNet's youngest employee.
她当时 21 岁,是 AlterNet 最年轻的员工。
Don loved to tell the story of how they met, how he'd found her on the sidewalk.
唐喜欢讲述他们如何相遇的故事,以及他如何在人行道上找到她的故事。
He liked very much that he had discovered me.
他非常高兴他发现了我。
I definitely got the sense that he liked feeling like he was doing me this huge favor, and like I was his protege or something.
我确实感觉到他喜欢感觉他在帮我这个大忙,就像我是他的门生什么的。
And then it evolved from, oh, I found her on the sidewalk like it was this cute thing, to like, don't you dare publish anywhere else.
然后它从“哦,我在人行道上发现她,就像这是一个可爱的东西”演变为“你敢在其他地方发表吗”。
And the amount of control that I realized he had over me was concerning, early.
我很早就意识到他对我的控制程度令人担忧。
When Don invited her to meet at his apartment, Kristen did not think, as Tana had, well, there's no New York office, so that makes a certain amount of sense.
当唐邀请她在他的公寓见面时,克里斯汀并不像塔娜那样认为纽约没有办事处,所以这在一定程度上是有道理的。
Kristen thought, I know what this is.
克里斯汀想,我知道这是什么。
I know why he wants me here.
我知道他为什么要我来这里。
I know why he's ordering sushi, and offering me weed, and repeatedly asking me if I like his music.
我知道他为什么要点寿司,给我大麻,并反复问我是否喜欢他的音乐。
And he wanted me, too.
他也想要我。
He liked that I was young, and he thought I was, like, cool.
他喜欢我年轻,他认为我很酷。
He was hanging out with this young person who was having a good time with him.
他正在和这个和他玩得很开心的年轻人一起出去玩。
And I think a lot of the shameless way he would look at or talk about my body was a way for him to kind of force me to see him as a sexual being.
我认为他看待或谈论我身体的许多无耻方式是他强迫我将他视为性存在的一种方式。
Like, I'm not a 60-something-year-old man with no sexuality.
比如说,我不是一个没有性欲的60多岁的男人。
And if you think so, I'm going to prove to you that I'm not by forcing you to realize that I do have sexual thoughts and urges, and also, they're about you.
如果你这么认为,我将向你证明我不会强迫你意识到我确实有性想法和冲动,而且它们是关于你的。
A friend said to me recently, relating a different incident, she said, forcing someone to be part of your boner against their will is just a smarter way of forcing someone.
一位朋友最近对我说,她提到了另一件事,她说,违背某人的意愿强迫某人成为你的傻瓜的一部分只是强迫某人的一种更聪明的方式。
I thought about Kristen when she said that, how alert Kristen was to a violation that was not definitively over the line.
当克里斯汀这么说时,我想起了她,克里斯汀对于尚未明确越界的违规行为是多么警惕。
Kristen found it alarming how laid back Don was, how he behaved as if their interactions were completely normal.
克里斯汀发现唐的悠闲态度令人震惊,他的举止就好像他们的互动完全正常一样。
Like one day, she was supposed to meet with him in a coffee shop, Don, and some other colleagues.
就像有一天,她应该在一家咖啡店与他、唐和其他一些同事见面。
When Kristen walked in, Don was already there.
当克里斯汀走进去时,唐已经在那里了。
I think I had pretty much just sat down.
我想我刚刚坐下来。
And he was like on his computer, you know, just real casual, like, oh, I saw someone on the internet.
他就像在他的电脑上一样,你知道,非常随意,就像,哦,我在互联网上看到了某人。
She looked just like you.
她看起来就像你一样。
Let me show you.
让我告诉你。
And he's like, taking his time, pulling up this picture, and I'm like, oh, God, what is he going to show me?
他慢慢地拿出这张照片,我就想,哦,上帝,他要给我看什么?
And he pulls up just a picture of a completely naked woman, like a porn star or something, with like, fake breasts and blond hair.
他只拿出一张完全裸体的女人的照片,就像色情明星之类的,有假乳房和金发。
And I was like, I can't even imagine what the look on my face must've been like.
我当时想,我什至无法想象我脸上的表情。
My response was, she looks nothing like me.
我的回答是,她看起来一点也不像我。
Kristen stood up, said, I'm going to go have a cigarette.
克里斯汀站起来,说,我去抽根烟。
And I was like oh, yeah, cool.
我当时想,哦,是的,太酷了。
So this-- you see, every blond chick in the porn you watch reminds you of me.
所以这个——你看,你看的色情片中的每一个金发小妞都会让你想起我。
Great.
伟大的。
This behavior had a name-- sexual harassment.
这种行为有一个名字——性骚扰。
Kristen did not doubt it.
克里斯汀对此并不怀疑。
I always knew it was wrong.
我一直都知道这是错误的。
It wasn't like I ever thought, is this normal?
和我想象的不一样,这正常吗?
Like, I knew, no, this is not normal, and it's bad.
就像,我知道,不,这不正常,而且很糟糕。
But having a name for this behavior didn't solve anything for Kristen.
但为这种行为命名并没有为克里斯汀解决任何问题。
It just made her angry, because it seemed like there was nothing she could do about it.
这让她很生气,因为她似乎对此无能为力。
She had no previous experience, no connections in the industry, and she needed the job.
她以前没有任何经验,也没有这个行业的人脉,但她需要这份工作。
I used to always-- I don't even know if I should say this --I used to like to talk about fantasies of kidnapping him, and torturing him, and forcing him to transfer money into my bank account.
我曾经总是——我什至不知道我是否应该这么说——我曾经喜欢谈论绑架他、折磨他、强迫他把钱转入我的银行账户的幻想。
But you know, I would just always joke about the things I would do to that man that would just make him feel uncomfortable and terrified.
但你知道,我总是开玩笑说我会对那个男人做那些只会让他感到不舒服和害怕的事情。
That's what I wanted to do more than anything.
这就是我最想做的事情。
Kristen's revenge fantasy is very similar to the plot of the movie 9 to 5, which Kristen has never seen, because it came out in 1980, before she was born.
克里斯汀的复仇幻想与电影《朝九晚五》的情节非常相似,克里斯汀从未看过这部电影,因为这部电影上映于1980年,当时她还没有出生。
All of which is to say this is an old story.
所有这些都表明这是一个古老的故事。
Kristen's anger bled.
克里斯汀的怒火在流血。
It bed into her thoughts, her work.
它融入了她的思想和工作。
She remembers being at a conference and interviewing an older man, a guy in his 70s, about drug policy.
她记得在一次会议上就毒品政策采访了一位 70 多岁的老人。
And at the end, I said I was going to smoke a cigarette, and he said, you don't want to get cancer in those boobs, do you?
最后,我说我要抽烟,他说,你不想让那些胸部得癌症,是吗?
And I was just like, ew, and just got up and went outside and smoked a cigarette, and told all the people at the conference, can you believe that this dinosaur man just said that to me?
我当时就想,呃,然后站起来走到外面抽烟,然后告诉会议上的所有人,你能相信这个恐龙人刚刚对我说了这些吗?
And it was the same thing I felt with Don, like it was this older man who was just kind of like, I'm going to force the fact that I have a sexuality on you.
这和我对唐的感受是一样的,就像这个年长的男人有点像,我要强迫你接受我对你有性取向的事实。
I'm going to force you to reckon with it by making you the object of my sexual desire.
我将通过让你成为我的性欲对象来迫使你正视这一点。
Later that day, Kristen was walking with her AlterNet colleague, Jan Frel.
那天晚些时候,克里斯汀和她的 AlterNet 同事扬·弗雷尔 (Jan Frel) 一起散步。
Not Don, Jan.
不是唐,简。
Jan was, at various points, Don's second-in-command.
简曾多次担任唐的第二把手。
And we were walking down the sidewalk, and he was on the left of me, and traffic was on the other side of him, and I told him what happened, and he said, oh, well, you must have taken it as a compliment, kind of, though, right?
我们沿着人行道走,他在我的左边,交通在他的另一边,我告诉他发生了什么事,他说,哦,好吧,你一定认为这是一种恭维,不过,对吧?
Or something like that.
或者类似的东西。
And I just had this image of pushing him into the street that was so vivid, it almost freaked me out.
我脑海中浮现出他被推到街上的画面,画面如此生动,几乎把我吓坏了。
I was like, I came very close to maybe killing this person.
我当时想,我差点就杀了这个人。
But that's how full of rage I was by that point.
但这就是我当时充满愤怒的程度。
I was just about to explode.
我当时简直要爆炸了。
Jan does remember Kristen telling him about this, but does not recall responding in this way.
简确实记得克里斯汀告诉过他这件事,但不记得以这种方式回应。
Kristen started talking.
克里斯汀开始说话。
She told a female coworker named Lauren about how Don was treating her.
她告诉一位名叫劳伦的女同事唐是如何对待她的。
Lauren was a bit older, seemed together, but she didn't know what to do.
劳伦年纪大了一些,看起来很团结,但她不知道该怎么办。
She did have one idea of someone who could help, a woman Lauren actually had just met at a book party, a woman in her 30s who had worked with Don in the past.
她确实想到了一个可以提供帮助的人,劳伦实际上刚刚在一次读书聚会上认识的一位女士,一位 30 多岁的女士,她过去曾与唐一起工作过。
Her name was Deanna.
她的名字叫迪安娜。
Lauren asked to talk to Deanna, Deanna remembers.
迪安娜记得,劳伦要求与迪安娜交谈。
She started telling me about the experiences this new staffer was having with him, this young woman.
她开始向我讲述这位新员工与他这位年轻女士的经历。
Deanna hadn't been with Don for years at this point.
此时迪安娜已经多年没有和唐在一起了。
Lauren didn't know they'd ever been together.
劳伦不知道他们曾经在一起过。
But Lauren told Deanna, part of what's so hard about this is the new staffer is so young and inexperienced.
但劳伦告诉迪安娜,这件事之所以如此困难,部分原因在于新员工太年轻、缺乏经验。
Don met her when she was a student on the street at a protest.
当她还是一名学生时,唐在街上的一次抗议活动中认识了她。
And I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
我当时想,你他妈的一定是在开玩笑。
I was fucking there.
我他妈的就在那儿。
I should have taken her by the wrist, pulled her away with me, and said, do not.
我应该抓住她的手腕,把她拉到我身边,然后说,不要。
I will find you another job, you know.
我会给你找另一份工作,你知道的。
And I felt such guilt over that.
我对此感到非常内疚。
Deanna began cycling through the moments, all the choices she had made, that she thought were just hers, choices she assumed would only affect her and her relationship with Don.
迪安娜开始循环回顾那些时刻,她所做的所有选择,她认为这些选择只是她自己的,她认为这些选择只会影响她以及她与唐的关系。
She thought specifically about a call she got years ago, just two months after she'd broken up with Don.
她特别想起几年前接到的一通电话,就在她和唐分手两个月后。
It was a professional contact who said she wanted to ask Deanna about something serious.
一位专业联系人说她想询问迪安娜一些严肃的事情。
And then the woman on the phone said that her organization had put on an event with AlterNet, and a young staffer had just complained that Don sexually harassed her.
然后电话里的那位女士说,她的组织已经与 AlterNet 合作举办了一场活动,一名年轻员工刚刚抱怨唐对她进行了性骚扰。
The woman on the phone said to Deanna, you've worked with Don.
电话里的女人对迪安娜说,你和唐一起工作过。
Does that sound like him?
听起来像他吗?
Deanna paused to consider it before answering.
迪安娜思考了一下才回答。
I have a lot of shame, but my greatest shame was-- I can't picture him doing something unwanted, was what I said.
我有很多耻辱,但我最大的耻辱是——我无法想象他会做一些不受欢迎的事情,我是这么说的。
And so I kind of-- I defended him.
所以我有点——我为他辩护。
I didn't kind of defend him.
我没有为他辩护。
Like, I didn't say, I believe this person.
就像,我没有说,我相信这个人。
But was true for you at the time that you couldn't imagine him doing that?
但当时的你确实无法想象他会这么做吗?
(DRAGGING THE WORD OUT INTO A GROAN) No. Yeah, but I-- there was a tiny part of me that wondered if that could be true, and I just didn't want to deal with it, and nothing was ever done.
(拖拖拉拉地呻吟着)不。是的,但是我——我内心有一小部分想知道这是否是真的,我只是不想处理它,而且什么也没做。
It never went further.
它从未走得更远。
Deanna and Kristen went out for drinks.
迪安娜和克里斯汀出去喝酒。
Deanna listened, Kristen talked.
迪安娜听着,克里斯汀说话。
Deanna said she wanted to help in whatever way she could, and Deanna prayed that Kristen would not ask her, what happened to you?
迪安娜说她想尽其所能提供帮助,迪安娜祈祷克里斯汀不要问她,你怎么了?
Everything felt like it would blow up.
一切都感觉要爆炸了。
Everyone would know that I was complicit, that I helped him.
每个人都会知道我是同谋,我帮助了他。
How could people want to be friends with me after that?
以后人们怎么会愿意和我做朋友呢?
How could people trust my professional expertise after knowing that about me?
人们在了解我的专业知识后怎么能相信我的专业知识呢?
How could-- what would my mom think?
怎么可能——我妈妈会怎么想?
They're all going to think I'm a fraud, that I'm not talented, that I'm not-- that these ideas aren't my own or something, and I would just have to shrink away.
他们都会认为我是个骗子,我没有才华,我不是——这些想法不是我自己的什么的,我只能退缩。
Deanna helped connect Kristen with a lawyer.
迪安娜帮助克里斯汀联系了一位律师。
The lawyer told Kristin it would be very hard to win a lawsuit and keep her job.
律师告诉克里斯汀,要赢得诉讼并保住工作是非常困难的。
She also said she'd probably need more evidence.
她还说她可能需要更多证据。
And that's when Kristen thought to ask Tana.
就在那时,克里斯汀想问问塔娜。
She knew Don had been harassing her, too.
她知道唐也一直在骚扰她。
Kristen doesn't remember Tana saying, this isn't news that this happens.
克里斯汀不记得塔娜说过,发生这种事并不是新闻。
She remembers Tana being kind, and saying she didn't want to betray Don.
她记得塔娜很友善,并说她不想背叛唐。
He'd given her a chance and a career when no one else would have.
他给了她一个机会和一份事业,而其他人都没有。
So she said she didn't want to do it, and then what did you do?
所以她说她不想做,那你怎么办?
Chana Joffe-Walt Kristen's apartment flooded, and she got a payout from her landlord.
查娜·乔菲-沃尔特·克里斯汀 (Chana Joffe-Walt Kristen) 的公寓被洪水淹没,她从房东那里得到了赔偿。
When the money came in, she quit AlterNet without ever using the words she believed to be true.
当钱到账后,她退出了 AlterNet,但从未使用过她认为是真实的话。
When I left, I didn't say to him, I'm leaving because you sexually harassed me, and I hate you.
我走的时候,我没有对他说,我要走是因为你性骚扰我,我恨你。
I was too affected by the idea that he was giving you a chance.
他给你机会的想法让我太感动了。
And it's true, he did give us a chance that no one else did.
确实,他确实给了我们一个其他人没有给过的机会。
So I mean-- but I guess I felt like I had paid my dues, and the payoff was no longer fair.
所以我的意思是——但我想我觉得我已经付出了代价,但回报不再公平。
Act 7, "Vivian." Four years after Tana told Kristen that their experience was not news to anyone, suddenly it was news.
第七幕,“薇薇安”。塔娜告诉克里斯汀他们的经历对任何人来说都不是什么新闻四年后,突然间这成了新闻。
A reporter named Cora Lewis at BuzzFeed News reported a story about sexual harassment allegations at AlterNet.
BuzzFeed News 的一位名叫科拉·刘易斯 (Cora Lewis) 的记者报道了有关 AlterNet 性骚扰指控的故事。
She talked to Kristen and Tana and Deanna, and she talked to other women who haven't heard from here.

Don denied most of the allegations in the BuzzFeed story.
唐否认了 BuzzFeed 报道中的大部分指控。
Some he said were mischaracterized.
他说有些被错误描述了。
For instance, he does not remember twisting Tana's arm, but did say he was rubbing her shoulders and stopped when he saw it made her uncomfortable.
