Rape is an inescapable function of a world that has been designed to give men a maximal amount of lawless freedom, she argues. It "cannot, logically, be just a vile anomaly in an ethical syste otherwise egalitarian and humane."
No crime is confounding and punitive the way rape is. No other violent offense comes with a bult-in alibi that can instantly exonerate the criminal and place respnsibility on the victim. There is no glorified interpersonal behavior that can be used to explain robbery or murder the way that sex can be used to explain rape. The best-case scenario for a rape victim in terms of adjudication is the worse-case scenario in terms of experience: for people to believe you deserve justice, you have to be destroyed. The fact that feminism is ascendant and accepted does not chan... (查看原文)
What's amazing is that things like hashtag design---these essentially ad hoc experiments in digital architecture---have shaped so much of our political discourse. Our world would be different if Anonymous hadn't been the default username on 4chan, or if every social media platform didn't center on the personal profile, or if YouTube algorithms didn't show viewers increasingly extreme content to retain their attention, or if hashtags and retweets simply didn't exist. It's because of the hashtag, the retweet, and the profile that solidarity on the internet gets inextricably tangled up with visibility, identity, and self-promotion. It's telling that the most mainstream gestures of solidarity are pure representation [...] At one point in The Presentation of Self, Goffman writes that the audien... (查看原文)
这段时间同时接触的三本书，巧的是来自同一脉络。 Neil Postman 写于1985年的痛心疾首的Amusing Ourselves to Death（《娱乐至死》），揭示电视文化给美国公共话语带来的伤害：一切变得没了语境（decontextualization），变得无关紧要（trivialism），只适合表演（thinking bec...

It is nearly imporssible, today, to speperate engagement from magnification. This framework, which centers the self in an expression of support for others, is not ideal. And in front of this backdrop, there were all of us - our stupid selves, with our stupi...

This rambling pedantry of "feminism" that Zadie Smith commented to "fill [her] with hope" made me even more fuzzy about this idea of "feminism" and this category of people called "feminist". Sometimes I feel like men as a group have somehow left us alone, o...

非常非常喜欢，是这几年最喜欢的文集之一，这本小书不该被如此忽略，但我的想法有什么用呢？世态如此。这本书给即将滑到犬儒主义里的我弹了一个脑瓜崩。有人说书里的文章毫无关联，我倒觉得关联很大，围绕花花世界的种种游戏，资本、权力、语言的迷宫，“道德无力感”就是我们正常人情绪的核心。一个人要想以道德上合乎情理的方式活下去，选择只会越来越少。我们分不清参与讨论和推波助澜的区别，我们成为我们所批判机制的共谋，就... 非常非常喜欢，是这几年最喜欢的文集之一，这本小书不该被如此忽略，但我的想法有什么用呢？世态如此。这本书给即将滑到犬儒主义里的我弹了一个脑瓜崩。有人说书里的文章毫无关联，我倒觉得关联很大，围绕花花世界的种种游戏，资本、权力、语言的迷宫，“道德无力感”就是我们正常人情绪的核心。一个人要想以道德上合乎情理的方式活下去，选择只会越来越少。我们分不清参与讨论和推波助澜的区别，我们成为我们所批判机制的共谋，就算一不小心也造成了恶果，但疲于奔命谁也来不及反思。除了逍遥的大盗和小偷，其余所有人都很可怜。 (展开)

全球共此凉热。互联网掠夺掉注意力，骗子才能赚钱的时代，总是在焦虑、在争吵、在挣扎、在逐渐麻木。我也会想可能麻木点更好生活，不过我还是决定多思多想多行动，特别是行动起来。
