这25个精彩瞬间让今年的三八节更有意义

支持男女平等和女性进步的人可能会觉得，2016年是个大倒退。这一年，美国并没有选出首位女总统，胜出的那位大选前就有炫耀猥亵女性经历的录音曝光；巴西首位女总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫被弹劾下野，韩国首位女总统朴槿惠现在看来也前途不妙；面对七位女性人选，联合国还是没选出首位女秘书长。（不过联合国短暂任命了衣着暴露体态丰盈的漫画人物“神奇女侠”为倡导女权的大使。）

同在今年，因为2008年任法国财长期间的一笔政府巨额赔偿，国际货币基金组织（IMF）的首位女领导人克里斯蒂娜·拉加德被判渎职，不过保住了职位。再看企业界，创新血液检测公司的创始人兼首席执行官伊丽莎白·霍尔姆斯、雅虎的首席执行官玛丽莎·梅耶尔等才貌双全的商界明星流星一般骤然陨落。看来有一线希望改善女性地位的机会也蒙上了仇视女性的色彩，比如黎巴嫩政府设立女性事务部长一职，首位部长却是男性。

博人眼球的头条新闻背后，女性还在努力为男女平等而战，挑战社会成见，勇敢面对日常生活。想在男性主宰的世界里成功，勇气仍是必不可少的。

在三八国际妇女节之际，让我们回顾一下在2016年值得女性庆祝的瞬间。

1、冰岛议员温努尔·康拉德斯多特蒂尔一边哺乳一边参与议案讨论，现场没人介意。

This year has felt like a giant step backward for supporters of gender equality and women's advancement. Instead of its first female commander-in-chief, the United States got a president-elect who won the White House even after being caught on tape bragging about groping women. Dilma Rousseff, Brazil's first female president, was ousted from power, and South Korea's first female president, Park Geun-hye, now seems poised to meet that same fate. The United Nations failed to vote in its first-ever female security general, despite having seven qualified women candidates. (It did, however, manage to briefly appoint the buxom and scantily-clad character of Wonder Woman as honorary ambassador for women's empowerment to the horror of UN staff).

Meanwhile, the IMF's first female chief, Christine Lagarde, was convicted of negligence in a trial over a government payout in 2008—though she will keep her job. And some bright, still rising business sta rs, including Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes and Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, plummeted like fireballs back to earth. Even what seemed like glimmers of hope—Lebanon created a ministry of women's affairs, for instance—were tainted with misogyny: The nation's first-ever minister of women's affairs is a man.

But behind these attention-grabbing headlines women were at work, fighting for equality, defying cultural stigmas, and delivering everyday acts of courage that are often still necessarily to succeed in what remains a man's world.

So as this year mercifully comes to a close, let's honor the moments when 2016 gave women something to celebrate.

1. When Icelandic MP Unnur Bra Konradsdottir breastfed while responding to a bill in Parliament and no one cared.

2、瑞典社会活动家玛丽亚-特蕾莎·阿斯普朗德今年两次抗议新纳粹主义者街头游行。

2. When Swedish activist Maria-Teresa Asplund stared down neo-Nazis during street marches—twice.

今年11月，新纳粹团体“北欧反抗运动”在斯德哥尔摩市中心组织游行。在抵制此次游行过程中，阿斯普朗德与警察对峙。

3、在清一色女性安保团队保护下，现任英国王妃、 康沃尔公爵夫人卡米拉·帕克·鲍尔斯平安访问阿联酋。

3.When the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, stepped out in the United Arab Emirates with this all-woman security team.

访问阿联酋期间，卡米拉王妃和女性护卫队同行。从左至右护卫人员分别是：莎意玛·阿尔卡比、巴斯玛·阿尔卡比、汉娜·阿尔哈塔威、妮丝琳·阿尔哈塔威和勒梅蒂。今年稍早，莎意玛、妮丝琳与汉娜还完成了攀登珠峰的壮举。

4、伊朗今年9月禁止女国民骑自行车，因为最高领袖哈梅内伊称骑车有损贞洁。但还是有伊朗女性还是选择骑行代步。

4. When women in Iran were banned from bicycling because the Supreme Leader of Iran said it threatened a woman's chastity, but they bicycled anyway.

我来自伊朗宗教氛围最浓厚的城市马什哈德。（虽然这里宗教色彩很强），但本地市民比官员的心态更开放。本地女性骑行本来就少见，在最高领袖发布宗教裁决令（禁止女性骑自行车）之后，骑行的阻力就更大了。不过，我们必须鼓起勇气，努力让城市和我们自己挣脱束缚，克服限制的条条框框。

5、美国罗德岛州一位男士致信当地媒体，称应该制止女人穿瑜伽健身裤。此后上百名女性身穿这种长裤在该男子家门前游行。

I am from Mashhad, one of the most religious cities in Iran. Here, [although the city is very religious], people are more open-minded than the officials. This being said, it still is not easy to ride a bicycle specially after the Supreme Leader's Fatwa [banning women from doing so]. However, we have to be brave and free our city and ourselves from all these restrictive laws and do away with these limitations. #من_عاشق_دوچرخه_ام #IranianWomenLoveCycling #mystealthyfreedom

5. When hundreds of women in yoga pants paraded past the home of a man who wrote a letter saying women should stop wearing them.

“女同胞们受够了对着装指手划脚。”游行活动组织者杰米·伯克。

6、史上规模最大的全女性成员探险团前往南极洲研究气候变化，推动女性科研事业发展。

10、瑞典最大工会Unionen开设一条热线。如果碰上直男癌式的说教，女员工可以拨打该热线电话投诉。

“工会希望提高女性对直男癌式说教和压制伎俩的认识。”Unionen的官方网站介绍。

11、谷歌母公司Alphabet的年会上，在一名男性与会者称该公司首席财务官露丝·波拉特为“首席财务官女士”后，一位同样参会的女投资人大声抗议。
