原文及翻译

My daughter, when she was 12, 13, in middle school, she said, "Dad, girls are talking a lot about empowered womanhood and how we can be in the world, but the boys seem kind of lost." There is an explosion of conversations about manhood online. Some of them are good: "How much water to drink? The exercise you should carry out. How can I get close to somebody I'm interested in?" That guy is trying to be their best selves. But there's a huge amount of it that's fed by an industry of misogynist and angry influencers who are getting the attention of young men. 

我女儿 12、13岁上中学时曾说过：“爸爸，女孩们经常谈论女性赋权以及我们如何在这个世界生存，但男孩们似乎有点迷失。”网上关于男子气概的讨论层出不穷。其中一些是好的，比如一天喝多少水、该做什么运动、怎样才能接近我感兴趣的人等等，这使得那些男人努力成为最好的自己。但其他很大一部分是由一个厌女和愤怒的影响者所助长的，他们吸引了年轻男性的注意力。

Our research finds that 40 to 50 percent of young men in the US say they trust one or more of those negative voices online. Why are they going there? They are lost. They are struggling. They are confused. Think about what we often do when boys or men cause harm. If you're young, we give you a time-out. You get a little bit older, we give you a detention. You step into the workplace, you do harm, and we fire you. You do something else, we incarcerate you. 

我们的研究发现，40% 到 50% 的美国年轻男性表示他们相信一个或多个负面的网络声音。他们为什么要这样？因为他们迷失了方向、他们在挣扎、他们很困惑。想想当男孩或男人造成危害时社会经常会做什么。如果你还年轻，社会会给你一个中场休息；你长大一点，我们会给你一个拘留；你踏入职场，你造成了危害，就会被解雇。你做了其他不好的事，我们就把你关起来。

These acts are often necessary to reduce harm, but they cut men off from the connection and humanity that we need, even when men have caused harm. I am not in saying this, I'm not affirming or believing that we should give any man a free walk for harm that is caused. We must hold men accountable for the harm caused, no question about that. We must call out with deep compassion when men do cause harm. We've also got to call into being connected, caring humans.

这些行为往往是减少伤害的必要手段，但它们切断了男人与我们所需要的联系和人性，即使男人造成了伤害。我不是说我们应该让任何造成伤害的男人逍遥法外，男人必须对造成的伤害负责，这是毫无疑问的。但当男人确实造成伤害时，我们必须以深切的同情心呼吁，我们还必须呼吁人们成为相互联系、充满爱心的人。
