我们应该怎样在因为信仰所的造成的问题中尊重他人的信仰？切尔西娅 希尔德斯对这个问题有一个大胆的解答。她在传统摩门教家庭中长大，在她的早年生活中，她看到了摩门教社会中是怎样排斥女性，致使女性在教会中没有重要地位。现在，这位人类学家、行动主义家、TED 参与者将要解决她教会中的性别歧视。”安息日给我们社会、政治、政策、以及存在于世界中的暴力带来的可以是人性的解放、给予人以爱以及舒适，也可以带来人性的禁锢、剥削以及毁灭。” 她说道。

where kids kill themselves
every single year

52
167720

03:03
because they're terrified
of coming out to our community as gay.

where it didn't matter
where in the world I lived,

03:20
I had help raising my little daughter.
58
188200
2256
我需要抚养我年幼的女儿
03:22
So that's why I accepted without question
that only men can lead,
that only men can lead,
59
190480
4896
这也是为什么我毫无疑问的接受
只有男性可以领导
只有男性可以领导
03:27
and I accepted without question
60
195400
2136
我也曾坚定的认为
03:29
that women can't have the spiritual
authority of God on the Earth,
authority of God on the Earth,
61
197560
3136
在地球上，女性无法拥有神的精神权威
03:32
which we call the priesthood.

And I allowed discrepancies between
men and women in operating budgets,

disciplinary councils,
in decision-making capacities,

64
206680
3376
惩戒委员会、與决策能力的两性差異，
03:42
and I gave my religion a free pass
65
210080
3136
我给予我的宗教一切放行。
03:45
because I loved it.
66
213240
1856
因为我热爱它。
03:47
Until I stopped,
67
215120
1976
直到我停止，
03:49
and I realized that I had
been allowing myself to be treated
been allowing myself to be treated
68
217120
3616
我意识到我纵容自己被当作
03:52
as the support staff
to the real work of men.
to the real work of men.
69
220760
4896
实际工作男性的幕后人员。
03:57
And I faced this contradiction in myself,
70
225680
2376
我自己正视了这个矛盾，
04:00
and I joined with other activists
in my community.
in my community.
71
228080
2736
并且参与了社区的抗议活动。
04:02
We've been working very, very, very hard
for the last decade and more.

72
230840
4376
在过去的十多年里，
我们非常、非常、非常地努力。

04:07
The first thing we did
was raise consciousness.

73
235240
2214
我们首要做的就是提高意识。
04:09
You can't change what you can't see.
74
237478
2498
你不能改变你看不到的东西。
04:12
We started podcasting,
blogging, writing articles.
blogging, writing articles.
75
240000
3216
我们开始通过播客，博客，写文章。
04:15
I created lists of hundreds of ways
76
243240
2536
我列了上百条在我们社区中
04:17
that men and women
are unequal in our community.
are unequal in our community.
77
245800
3016
男女不平等的方式。
04:20
The next thing we did
was build advocacy organizations.

78
248840
3496
接下来我们做的
是建立我们的倡导组织。
是建立我们的倡导组织。
04:24
We tried to do things
that were unignorable,
that were unignorable,
79
252360
3936
我们尝试着做一些不可忽视的事情，
04:28
like wearing pants to church
and trying to attend all-male meetings.
and trying to attend all-male meetings.
80
256320
5456
比如穿着长裤去教堂，
试图参加那些只有男性才能参加的会议
试图参加那些只有男性才能参加的会议
04:33
These seem like simple things,
81
261800
2496
这些看起来那么简单的事情，
04:36
but to us, the organizers,
they were enormously costly.
they were enormously costly.
82
264320
4216
但对于我们作为组织者来说，
付出了巨大的代价。
付出了巨大的代价。
04:40
We lost relationships. We lost jobs.
83
268560
3256
我们失去了亲情，
我们失去了工作。
我们失去了工作。
04:43
We got hate mail on a daily basis.
84
271840
2056
我们每天都收到恐吓信。
04:45
We were attacked in social media
and national press.
and national press.
85
273920
3336
我们在社交媒体和报刊上被攻击。
04:49
We received death threats.
86
277280
1696
我们收到了死亡威胁。
04:51
We lost standing in our community.
Some of us got excommunicated.

87
279000
4216
我们失去了我们在社区中的地位，
我们当中的一部分被逐出了教会。

04:55
Most of us got put
in front of a disciplinary council,
in front of a disciplinary council,
88
283240
2896
我们中的大多数被迫面对惩戒委员会，
04:58
and were rejected
from the communities that we loved
from the communities that we loved
89
286160
3136
被我们所热爱的社区拒之门外。
05:01
because we wanted to make them better,
because we believed that they could be.
because we believed that they could be.
90
289320
4000
因为我们想要它们变得更好，
因为我们相信它们可以变得更好。
因为我们相信它们可以变得更好。
05:06
And I began to expect this reaction
from my own people.
from my own people.
91
294480
3256
我开始期待我身边人的反应，
05:09
I know what it feels like when you feel
like someone's trying to change you
like someone's trying to change you
92
297760
3936
我知道当你感到有人试图想改变你
05:13
or criticize you.
93
301720
2016
或者批判你是一种什么样的感觉。
05:15
But what utterly shocked me
was throughout all of this work
was throughout all of this work
94
303760
4136
但经过那么多的事情，
彻底震惊我的是
彻底震惊我的是
05:19
I received equal measures of vitriol
from the secular left,
from the secular left,
95
307920
4200
我收到了宗教反对派的苛薄对待，
05:25
the same vehemence as the religious right.
96
313400
3696
激烈程度如同宗教支持者。
05:29
And what my secular friends didn't realize
was that this religious hostility,
was that this religious hostility,
97
317120
3856
而我那些不信仰宗教的朋友没有意识到的是
这种宗教仇视，
这种宗教仇视，
05:33
these phrases of, "Oh, all religious
people are crazy or stupid."
people are crazy or stupid."
98
321000
4136
这些言语例如，
“啊，所有信宗教的人不是疯就是蠢。”
“啊，所有信宗教的人不是疯就是蠢。”
05:37
"Don't pay attention to religion."
99
325160
2056
“别去理睬宗教。”
05:39
"They're going to be
homophobic and sexist."
homophobic and sexist."
100
327240
3336
“他们会歧视同性恋，和女性。”
05:42
What they didn't understand
101
330600
2056
但他们不明白的是
05:44
was that that type of hostility
did not fight religious extremism,
did not fight religious extremism,
102
332680
4560
这种仇视并不是和
宗教极端主义抗争，
宗教极端主义抗争，
05:49
it bred religious extremism.
103
337280
3336
而是在传播宗教极端主义。
05:52
Those arguments don't work,
and I know because I remember
and I know because I remember
104
340640
3416
那些争论并不管用，我知道原因，
05:56
someone telling me
that I was stupid for being Mormon.
that I was stupid for being Mormon.
105
344080
4040
是因为我记得有人告诉我，
我成为摩门教的一员是一件愚蠢的事情。
我成为摩门教的一员是一件愚蠢的事情。
06:01
And what it caused me to do
was defend myself and my people
was defend myself and my people
106
349800
3856
这就促使了我所做的事是在保护
我自己和我身边的人，
我自己和我身边的人，
06:05
and everything we believe in,
because we're not stupid.
because we're not stupid.
107
353680
3480
我们相信的一切。
因为我们并不愚蠢。
因为我们并不愚蠢。
06:10
So criticism and hostility doesn't work,
and I didn't listen to these arguments.
and I didn't listen to these arguments.
108
358720
4776
批判和仇视并没有什么用，
我不去听这些争论。
我不去听这些争论。
06:15
When I hear these arguments,
I still continue to bristle,
I still continue to bristle,
109
363520
2696
当我听到这些争论时，
我仍旧感到十分震怒，
我仍旧感到十分震怒，
06:18
because I have family and friends.
110
366240
1656
因为我有家庭，有朋友。
06:19
These are my people,
and I'm the first to defend them,
and I'm the first to defend them,
111
367920
2696
他们是我身边的人，
而我是第一个站出来保护他们的，
而我是第一个站出来保护他们的，
06:22
but the struggle is real.
112
370640
2016
但现实是残酷的。
06:24
How do we respect
someone's religious beliefs
someone's religious beliefs
113
372680
3776
我们怎样尊重人们的宗教信仰
06:28
while still holding them accountable
for the harm or damage
for the harm or damage
114
376480
3296
即使他们所信仰的宗教可能会
06:31
that those beliefs may cause others?
115
379800
2296
对其他人造成伤害？
06:34
It's a tough question.
I still don't have a perfect answer.
I still don't have a perfect answer.
116
382120
2776
这是个棘手的问题。
我仍旧没找到一个满意的答案。

06:36
My parents and I have been walking

06:43
And let me try to help you
understand their perspective.
understand their perspective.
119
391840
3896
让我来帮你们理解他们的观点。
06:47
In Mormonism, we believe
that after you die,
that after you die,
120
395760
2976
在摩门人眼里，我们相信
06:50
if you keep all the rules
and you follow all the rituals,
and you follow all the rituals,
121
398760
3336
如果你遵守所有的规定及礼制，
06:54
you can be together as a family again.
122
402120
3096
在你死后，
你将和你的家人再一次团聚。
你将和你的家人再一次团聚。
06:57
And to my parents,

而对于我父母来说，
一些很简单的事情，
一些很简单的事情，
06:59
as having a sleeveless top right now,
showing my shoulders,
showing my shoulders,
124
407680
3376
就像我现在穿了一件无袖上衣，
露出了我的手臂，
露出了我的手臂，
07:03
that makes me unworthy.
125
411080
1776
这样就让我变得很廉价。
07:04
I won't be with my family
in the eternities.
in the eternities.
126
412880
3336
那么在来世，
我将和我的家人分离。
我将和我的家人分离。
07:08
But even more, I had a brother
die in a tragic accident at 15,
die in a tragic accident at 15,
127
416240
4176
但更重要的是，我有一个兄弟，
他15岁的时候在一场车祸中丧生，
他15岁的时候在一场车祸中丧生，
07:12
and something as simple as this
means we won't be together as a family.
means we won't be together as a family.
128
420440
4256
然而像这样简单的事情
意味着我们将不能再在一起。
意味着我们将不能再在一起。
07:16
And to my parents, they cannot understand
129
424720
3576
对于我的父母来说，
他们无法理解
他们无法理解
07:20
why something as simple
as fashion or women's rights
as fashion or women's rights
130
428320
3096
为什么简单的女性的时尚与基本权利
07:23
would prevent me
from seeing my brother again.
from seeing my brother again.
131
431440
2696
会阻止我和我的兄弟再一次的相聚。
07:26
And that's the mindset
that we're dealing with,
that we're dealing with,
132
434160
2736
这是我们正在处理的心态，
07:28
and criticism does not change that.
133
436920
3096
批判并不能改变什么。
07:32
And so my parents and I
have been walking this tightrope,
have been walking this tightrope,
134
440040
2696
就算像我和我父母在触碰这颗地雷时，
07:34
explaining our sides,
respecting one another,
respecting one another,
135
442760
2936
通过我们的生活方式来解释
我们的观点，尊重对方的理念，
我们的观点，尊重对方的理念，
07:37
but actually invalidating
each other's very basic beliefs
each other's very basic beliefs
136
445720
3976
但却试图去证明对方的
基本信念是错的。
基本信念是错的。
07:41
by the way we live our lives,
and it's been difficult.
and it's been difficult.
137
449720
3336
生活是艰辛的。
07:45
The way that we've been able to do that
138
453080
2456
我们能采取的方式是
07:47
is to get past those defensive shells
139
455560
2416
绕过那些防御外壳
07:50
and really see the soft inside
of unbelief and belief
of unbelief and belief
140
458000
4016
真正看到那些信仰与不信仰的柔软内在，
07:54
and try to respect each other
while still holding boundaries clear.
while still holding boundaries clear.
141
462040
4616
试图彼此尊重，
即使他们持有的界限依然清晰。
即使他们持有的界限依然清晰。
07:58
The other thing that the secular left
and the atheists and the orthodox
and the atheists and the orthodox
142
466680
4456
另一件让宗教左派、
无神论者、东正教、
无神论者、东正教、
08:03
and the religious right,
what they all don't understand
what they all don't understand
143
471160
4016
宗教右派不能理解的是，
08:07
was why even care
about religious activism?
about religious activism?
144
475200
2856
为什么甚至关心宗教激进主义？
08:10
I cannot tell you the hundreds
of people who have said,
of people who have said,
145
478080
3056
我不能告诉你成百个人曾说，
08:13
"If you don't like religion, just leave."
146
481160
2616
“如果你不喜欢宗教，就走开。”
08:15
Why would you try to change it?
147
483800
1880
为什么你想尝试改变它？
08:18
Because what is taught on the Sabbath
148
486880
2437
因为在安息日所被教导的，
08:21
leaks into our politics,
our health policy,
our health policy,
149
489342
3034
渗透到了我们世界的
政治和卫生政策，
政治和卫生政策，
08:24
violence around the world.
150
492400
1856
以及遍布世界范围的暴力行为。
08:26
It leaks into education,
military, fiscal decision-making.
military, fiscal decision-making.
151
494280
3696
它渗透到了教育、军队、财政决策。
08:30
These laws get legally
and culturally codified.
and culturally codified.
152
498000
3296
这些法律被合法、合情的编纂成文。
08:33
In fact, my own religion has had
an enormous effect on this nation.
an enormous effect on this nation.
153
501320
4936
事实上，我自己的宗教
在这个国家已经具有巨大的影响力。
在这个国家已经具有巨大的影响力。
08:38
For example, during Prop 8,
my church raised over 22 million dollars
my church raised over 22 million dollars
154
506280
4576
举例来说，
在加利福尼亚8号提案期间，
在加利福尼亚8号提案期间，
08:42
to fight same-sex marriage in California.
155
510880
3279
我的教派筹集了2200万美元
用来抵制同性婚姻。
用来抵制同性婚姻。
08:46
Forty years ago,
political historians will say,
political historians will say,
156
514840
4216
40年前，政治历史学家会说，
08:51
that if it wasn't for the Mormon
opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment,
opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment,
157
519080
3856
如果不是摩门反对平等权利修正案，
08:54
we'd have an Equal Rights Amendment
in our Constitution today.
in our Constitution today.
158
522960
3816
如今我们宪法就会有平等权利修正案。
08:58
How many lives did that affect?
159
526800
3160
有多少人被它所影响？
09:02
And we can spend time
fighting every single one
fighting every single one
160
530800
2776
我们可以花费时间
09:05
of these little tiny laws and rules,
161
533600
3136
与其中的每一条法律法规抗争，
09:08
or we can ask ourselves,
162
536760
1576
或者我们可以问问自己，
09:10
why is gender inequality
the default around the world?
the default around the world?
163
538360
6176
全世界默认性别歧视的原因是什么？
09:16
Why is that the assumption?
164
544560
2656
为什么做那样的假设？
09:19
Because religion doesn't just
create the roots of morality,
create the roots of morality,
165
547240
5936
因为宗教不仅创造了道德的根基，
09:25
it creates the seeds of normality.
166
553200
4056
它也造就了标准的根源。
09:29
Religions can liberate or subjugate,
167
557280
3336
宗教能够释放或征服，
09:32
they can empower or exploit,
they can comfort or destroy,
they can comfort or destroy,
168
560640
3216
它们能给予或掠夺
它们能安抚或毁坏，
它们能安抚或毁坏，
09:35
and the people that tip the scales
over to the ethical and the moral
over to the ethical and the moral
169
563880
4536
而那些在伦理道德上起到决定作用的人
09:40
are often not those in charge.
170
568440
3136
却常常不用担负责任。
09:43
Religions can't be dismissed or ignored.
171
571600
2896
宗教不能被剔除或忽略。
09:46
We need to take them seriously.
172
574520
2896
我们需要严肃对待它们。
09:49
But it's not easy to influence a religion,
like we just talked about.
like we just talked about.
173
577440
4536
但就像我们刚才所说，
要改变一个宗教并不容易。
要改变一个宗教并不容易。
09:54
But I'll tell you
what my people have done.
what my people have done.
174
582000
2216
但让我来告诉你我身边的人做了什么。
09:56
My groups are small,
there's hundreds of us,
there's hundreds of us,
175
584240
2096
我们的团体很小，大概百来号人
09:58
but we've had huge impact.
176
586360
2376
但我们有巨大的影响力。
10:00
Right now, women's pictures
are hanging in the halls next to men
are hanging in the halls next to men
177
588760
3016
现在，
女性的照片第一次被挂在走道上
女性的照片第一次被挂在走道上
10:03
for the first time.
178
591800
1216
并且紧邻着男性。
10:05
Women are now allowed
to pray in our church-wide meetings,
to pray in our church-wide meetings,
179
593040
2736
现在女性被允许在教会会议上祈祷，
10:07
and they never were before
in the general conferences.
in the general conferences.
180
595800
3016
然而在之前的会议上是从未有过的。
10:10
As of last week, in a historic move,
181
598840
2536
上周，发生了历史性的措举，
10:13
three women were invited
down to three leadership boards
down to three leadership boards
182
601400
3176
三位女性被邀请
作为其中的三位领导成员
作为其中的三位领导成员
10:16
that oversee the entire church.
183
604600
1976
监管整个教派。
10:18
We've seen perceptual shifts
in the Mormon community
in the Mormon community
184
606600
2816
我们看到了在摩门社区中
的显著改变，
的显著改变，
10:21
that allow for talk of gender inequality.
185
609440
2496
允许谈论性别不平等。
10:23
We've opened up space,
regardless of being despised,
regardless of being despised,
186
611960
3376
我们敞开心扉，不去理睬被轻视，
10:27
for more conservative women
to step in and make real changes,
to step in and make real changes,
187
615360
3896
为了更多保守的女性能更进一步
并作出实质性的改变，
并作出实质性的改变，
10:31
and the words "women" and "the priesthood"
can now be uttered in the same sentence.
can now be uttered in the same sentence.
188
619280
4856
“女性”和“神职”现在可以
在同一句子中出现。
在同一句子中出现。
10:36
I never had that.
189
624160
2616
我从未拥有过这样。
10:38
My daughter and my nieces are inheriting
a religion that I never had,
a religion that I never had,
190
626800
4576
我的女儿和我侄女生来就在
这样一个我从未经历过的宗教，
这样一个我从未经历过的宗教，
10:43
that's more equal -- we've had an effect.
191
631400
2760
更加平等——我们为之努力过。
10:47
It wasn't easy standing in those lines
192
635400
2896
站在那些队伍中，
试图参与那些男性会议，
试图参与那些男性会议，
10:50
trying to get into those male meetings.
193
638320
3176
这些并不容易。
10:53
There were hundreds of us,
194
641520
2176
我们有成百个人，
10:55
and one by one, when we got to the door,
195
643720
2616
当我们走到门口，
我们一个一个被告知，
我们一个一个被告知，
10:58
we were told, "I'm sorry,
this meeting is just for men,"
this meeting is just for men,"
196
646360
3656
“对不起，
这个会议只有男性可以参与。“
这个会议只有男性可以参与。“
11:02
and we had to step back
and watch men get into the meeting
and watch men get into the meeting
197
650040
4776
我们不得不往后退，
看着男性走近会议室，
看着男性走近会议室，
11:06
as young as 12 years old,
198
654840
2136
连队伍中12岁的小男孩，
11:09
escorted and walked past us
as we all stood in line.
as we all stood in line.
199
657000
4056
也在护送下从我们身边走过。
11:13
But not one woman in that line
will forget that day,
will forget that day,
200
661080
2736
但站在那条队伍中的女性
没有一个会忘记那一天，
没有一个会忘记那一天，
11:15
and not one little boy
that walked past us will forget that day.
that walked past us will forget that day.
201
663840
3960
从我们身边走过的男孩
没有一个会忘记那一天。
没有一个会忘记那一天。
11:21
If we were a multinational corporation
or a government, and that had happened,
or a government, and that had happened,
202
669520
5616
如果我们是一家跨国公司、或者政府，
发生那样的事情，
发生那样的事情，
11:27
there would be outrage,
203
675160
1616
那将会激起愤怒，
11:28
but we're just a religion.
204
676800
2416
但我们只是一个宗教。
11:31
We're all just part of religions.
205
679240
2960
我们都只是宗教的一部分。
11:35
We can't keep looking
at religion that way,
at religion that way,
206
683120
2736
我们不能一直以那样
的方式看待宗教，
的方式看待宗教，
11:37
because it doesn't only affect me,
it affects my daughter
it affects my daughter
207
685880
2856
因为它不仅影响着我，
也影响着我的女儿，
也影响着我的女儿，
11:40
and all of your daughters
and what opportunities they have,
and what opportunities they have,
208
688760

还有你们的女儿，
还有她们拥有什么样的机遇，

11:43
what they can wear,
who they can love and marry,

11:46
if they have access
to reproductive healthcare.
to reproductive healthcare.
210
694038
3098
她们是否有生育医疗保健的权利。
11:49
We need to reclaim morality
in a secular context
in a secular context
211
697160
3336
我们需要在世俗的环境下
11:52
that creates ethical scrutiny
and accountability

700520
2256
使全世界的宗教
11:54
for religions all around the world,
213
702800
2176
重新建立世俗道德与责任，
11:57
but we need to do it in a respectful way
214
705000
3136
但我们需要以一种尊重的方式
12:00
that breeds cooperation and not extremism.
215
708160
3216
去传播合作互融而不是极端主义。
12:03
And we can do it through
unignorable acts of bravery,
unignorable acts of bravery,
216
711400
4056
我们可以无法被忽略的勇气，
12:07
standing up for gender equality.

为了性别平权站出来。
12:10
It's time that half
