Na David Swanson, World BEYOND War, Kepakemapa 12, 2021
I ka makahiki 2002, ua hoʻouna aku nā hui wahine o US i kahi leka hui iā Pelekikena George W. Bush i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ke kaua ma Afghanistan e pono ai nā wahine. ʻO Gloria Steinem (ma mua o ka CIA), ʻo Eve Ensler, ʻo Meryl Streep, ʻo Susan Sarandon, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe i pūlima ʻia. Ua kākoʻo ka National Organization for Women, Hillary Clinton, a me Madeline Albright i ke kaua.
I nā makahiki he nui i loko o kahi kaua pōʻino i hōʻike ʻole ʻia e pōmaikaʻi ai nā wahine, a ʻoiaʻiʻo ua luku ʻia, ʻeha, hōʻehaʻeha ʻia, a lilo i home home ʻole i nā wahine he nui, ʻoiai ʻo Amnesty International e paipai nei i ke kaua no nā wahine.
ʻOiai ʻo kēia mau makahiki he 20 i hala aku nei, me ka noʻonoʻo pono, ʻike maoli ʻia i loaʻa pinepine ʻia ma nā kaua he nui he "ma ka weliweli," ʻo ka National Organization for Women a me nā hui e pili pū ana a me nā kānaka e kōkua ana i ka holomua ʻana i ka papa inoa wahine ma o ka US Congress ma ke kumu he Ua koi ʻia ka pono wahine e kūʻē like i ka makemake o kekahi e pepehi a make no ka wahine nui a Lockheed Martin.
Puke hou a Rafia Zakaria, Kūʻē i ka wahine wahine keʻokeʻo, nā loiloi i hala a i ʻole i kēia manawa ke ʻano nui o ka wahine feminism no ka hoʻokae kipi wale nō akā ʻo kāna classism, kona militarism, kāna exceptionalism, a me kāna xenophobia. ʻO kēlā me kēia kamaʻilio, politika a i ʻole ʻano ʻē aʻe, e hoʻomālamalama ʻia me ka lāhui i loko o kahi kaiāulu i hoʻopilikia ʻia me ka lāhui. Akā hōʻike ʻo Zakaria iā mākou pehea i loaʻa pono ai nā loaʻa wahine i kekahi manawa i ka lilo o ka poʻe "keʻokeʻo". I ka wā he aupuni aupuni ko Pelekane, hiki i kekahi mau wahine Pelekane ke loaʻa nā kuʻuna hou e ka huakaʻi ʻana ma waho o ka Homeland a kōkua i ka hoʻokau ʻana i nā ʻōiwi. I ka wā i loaʻa ai ka US i kahi aupuni, hiki i nā wahine ke loaʻa i ka mana hou, ka mahalo, a me ka hanohano ma o ka hoʻolaha ʻana iā ia.
E like me kā Zakaria haʻi ʻana, i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Hollywood i kākoʻo ʻia e CIA ʻO ke kanakolu o ka pouli, ka wahine protagonist (ma muli o ke kanaka maoli) mahalo ʻia mai nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, nā haʻalulu a nā poʻe e hoʻolohe ana i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni kahi a Zakaria i nānā aku ai, a ma hope iho he Maikaʻi Actress Academy Award e nā kāne, ma ka hōʻike ʻana i kahi ʻoi aku ka nui makemake nui e hoʻomāinoino. "Inā kākoʻo nā wahine wahine ʻAmelika keʻokeʻo o nā 1960 a me ke au Vietnam no ka pau ʻana o ke kaua," kākau ʻo Zakaria, "ʻo nā wahine wahine ʻAmelika hou o ke kenekulia iwakāluakūmālua i hānau ʻia e pili ana i ka hakakā ʻana me ke keikikāne."
Wehe ʻia kā Zakaria puke me kahi moʻolelo autobiograpical o kahi hanana ma kahi pā inu waina me nā wahine wahine keʻokeʻo (a i ʻole nā wahine keʻokeʻo āna i manaʻo nui ai he wahine wahine keʻokeʻo - ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole wale nā wahine wahine keʻokeʻo, akā nā wahine wahine i loaʻa i ka manaʻo o nā wahine keʻokeʻo. a malia paha o nā aupuni Komohana a i ʻole ka pūʻali koa koa. Nīnau ʻia ʻo Zakaria e pili ana i kona moʻoʻōlelo e kēia mau wahine a hōʻole e pane me ka ʻike i aʻo ʻia e ka ʻike.
Ua huhū ʻo Zakaria me ka pane āna i manaʻo ai e hana i kēia mau wahine inā ua haʻi ʻo ia iā lākou i nā mea āna i hana ʻole ai. Ua kākau ʻo Zakaria ua ʻike ʻo ia ua lanakila ʻoi aku i nā mea i loko o kona ola ma mua o kekahi o kēia mau wahine ʻē aʻe i ka pā inu waina, me ka ʻike nō naʻe i ka ʻike liʻiliʻi e pili ana iā lākou e like me lākou e pili ana iā ia. Ma hope loa i loko o ka puke, ma ka ʻaoʻao 175, hōʻike ʻo Zakaria i ka noi ʻana i kekahi pehea e haʻi pololei ai i ko lākou inoa he hana hoʻopunipuni wale nō ia, akā ma ka ʻaoʻao 176 ua haʻi ʻo ia iā mākou ke hana hewa ʻole i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka inoa pololei o kekahi. Kuhi ka hapa nui o ka puke i ka bigotry ma waena o ka wahine e hoʻohana ana i nā laʻana mai nā kenekulia i hala. Ke kiʻi nei wau i ka hapa nui o kēia me he mea kaulike ʻole nei i ka mea heluhelu pale - malia paha he mea heluhelu e kānalua nei iā ia iho ma ka ʻaha inu waina i kēlā ahiahi.
Akā ʻaʻole nānā ka puke i ka bigotry o ka wā i hala o ka wahine no ka mea nona iho. I ka hana ʻana pēlā, hoʻomālamalama ia i kāna kālailai ʻana i nā pilikia i loaʻa i ka wahine i kēia lā. ʻAʻole nō hoʻi ia e kākoʻo i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā leo ʻē aʻe wale nō no kahi manawaleʻa ʻokoʻa o ka like ʻole, akā no ka mea he ʻano ʻokoʻa ko nā leo ʻē aʻe, ka ʻike, a me ka naʻauao. ʻO nā wahine i hakakā ma waena o nā male i hoʻolālā ʻia a me ka ʻilihune a me ka hoʻokalakupua e loaʻa paha ka ʻike i ka wahine a me kekahi mau ʻano hoʻomanawanui i hiki ke waiwai ʻia e like me ka kipi kipi a i ʻole ka hoʻokuʻu wahine.
Hōʻike ka puke a Zakaria i kāna mau ʻike ponoʻī, me ke kono ʻia ʻana i nā hanana e like me ka wahine Pakistani-ʻAmelika e hōʻike hou ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻolohe ʻana, a e hoʻopaʻi ʻia no ka ʻaʻohe kau i kāna "lole kūloko." Akā ʻo kāna mea e kau nei i ka manaʻo o nā wahine e ʻike iā Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, a me ka wahine kiʻekiʻe keʻokeʻo waena waena e alakaʻi i ke ala. ʻAʻole paʻakikī nā hopena kūpono o nā manaʻo i makemake ʻole ʻia o ke kiʻekiʻe. Hāʻawi ʻo Zakaria i nā laʻana like ʻole o nā papahana kōkua ʻaʻole wale ka hapa nui o nā hui kālā i nā ʻāina waiwai akā hoʻolako i nā lako a me nā lawelawe i kōkua ʻole i nā wahine i manaʻo ʻia e pōmaikaʻi ʻia, a ʻaʻole i nīnau ʻia inā makemake lākou i kapuahi a i moa paha a i ʻole nā mea ʻē aʻe. kiʻi wikiwiki loa e hōʻalo i ka mana politika, e nānā i nā mea a nā wahine e hana nei i kēia manawa ma ke ʻano he hana ʻole a hana ʻole ma ka ʻike ʻole i ka mea e pōmaikaʻi ai ka wahine a i ʻole ka nohona kanaka.
Hoʻopili ʻia i ke kaua weliweli ma ʻAmelika mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana he papahana USAID i kapa ʻia ʻo PROMOTE e kōkua i nā wahine 75,000 o Afghanistan (ʻoiai e pōpoki iā lākou). Ua hoʻopau ka papahana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kāna helu helu e ʻōlelo ai ʻo kēlā wahine kēia wahine a lākou i kamaʻilio ai ua "pōmaikaʻi" inā paha ua loaʻa iā ia, ua ʻike ʻoe, ua pōmaikaʻi ʻia, a ʻo 20 mai ka 3,000 mau wahine i kōkua i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hana he "kūleʻa" - akā naʻe ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia kēlā pahuhopu o 20.
Ua lawe i mua ka hōʻike pāpāho ʻoihana i nā kuʻuna lōʻihi o ka waiho ʻana i ka poʻe keʻokeʻo e ʻōlelo no nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, o ka hōʻike ʻana a me ka hōʻino ʻana i nā kuleana pilikino o nā wahine keʻokeʻo ʻole i nā ala i hoʻomanawanui ʻole ʻia me nā wahine keʻokeʻo, o ka inoa ʻana i ka poʻe keʻokeʻo a me ka waiho inoa ʻole ʻana i kekahi. kekahi manaʻo o ka mea a ka poʻe i noʻonoʻo ai e like me ka makemake o nā kama'āina a iʻole paha e hana nei paha e lawe iā lākou iho.
Paipai nui wau i kēia puke, akā ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu kākau wau i kēia loiloi puke. ʻAneʻane hele ʻole nā kāne mai ka puke a mai nā ʻano wehewehe i loko o ka poʻe o ka wahine. ʻO ka wahine i loko o kēia puke, na, a no nā wahine - he miliona mau mile ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā kāne e kamaʻilio nei no nā wahine. Akā kahaha wau inā ʻaʻole ia e hānai i ka hana o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i kā mākou pono ponoʻī ponoʻī, i manaʻo ʻia e kekahi mau wahine wahine keʻokeʻo e like me ka ʻōlelo e kākoʻo ana i nā pono haiki o nā wahine keʻokeʻo. Me he mea lā iaʻu ka hewa nui o nā kāne no ka hana kūpono ʻole a hoʻomāinoino ʻia o nā wahine a ma ka mea nui e pono ai ka wahine e like me ka wahine. Akā, manaʻo wau, he kāne wau, no laila e noʻonoʻo wau i kēlā, ʻaʻole anei?
