IXESHA libize umntu wabo we-2017 wonyaka, kwaye ngamazwi anamandla #MeToo. Kulo nyaka, abasetyhini abanjengo-Ashely Judd ngesibindi bathetha ngokuchaseneyo namadoda aziwayo njengoHarvey Weinstein kwaye baqala umbutho okhuthaze abanye ukuba bathethe ngokuchasene nee-Weinsteins zabo. Ukuthetha ngaphandle kunzima, kwaye kukho nobunzima obungakumbi obuhamba nokuba ngowokuqala ukwaphula ukuthula. Esi sihloko asifanelekanga ngakumbi.
Kwiphepha elingaphandle ngu-Ashley Judd, uSusan Fowler, u-Adam Iwu, u-Taylor Swift, kunye no-Isabel Pascual (umcoci we-strawberry ogama lakhe latshintshelwa ukukhusela isazisi sakhe), ngabafoti uBilly no-Hells. Umhleli-kwiNtloko u-Edward Felsenthal ubhala :
Iintshukumo ezinyanzela abantu ababhinqileyo kwiphepha lethu… kunye nezo zabanye abangamakhulu, kunye namadoda amaninzi ngokunjalo, zikhuphe enye yezona zantya ziphakamileyo kwinkcubeko yethu ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1960. Imidiya yokuncokola yasebenza njengesantya esinamandla; i-hashtag #MeToo ngoku ibisetyenziswe kwizigidi zamaxesha kumazwe angama-85 ubuncinci…. Iingcambu ze-francise yonyaka ye-TIME-ukukhetha umntu okanye abantu abaphembelele kakhulu kwiziganeko zonyaka-zilele kwinto ebizwa ngokuba yindoda enkulu ithiyori, isishwankathelo esivakala ngokukodwa ngalo mzuzu. Kodwa uluvo lokuba abantu abanempembelelo, nabakhuthazayo bayila umhlaba ayinakuba yinto efanelekileyo kulo nyaka…. Ngokunika ilizwi ukuvula iimfihlo, ukushenxisa uthungelwano kunxibelelwano lwasentlalweni, ukusityhala sonke ukuba siyeke ukwamkela into engamkelekanga, abaSilence Breaker nguMntu woNyaka ka-2017.
Ibali lekhava lidlulela ngaphaya kwezityhilelo zeHollywood ukubonisa indlela ekhoyo ngayo le ngxaki kuwo onke amashishini. Ikhumbula ngokufanelekileyo kwaye iwonge abo bafazi babethethile ngaphambili, njengo-Anita Hill, owangqina ngokuchasene neNkundla ePhakamileyo iJaji uClarence Thomas ngo-1991 kwaye wazisa ingqwalaselo yesizwe kulo mbandela, kunye nabafazi abamalunga nama-50 abatyhola uBill Cosby ngokubetha, Ityala labo liphelela kwimpazamo. Ndicebisa ngokwenene ukuba ndifunde inqaku lilonke , ezize neenyembezi emehlweni am malunga nendlela abomelele nabanesibindi ngayo aba bantu, nendlela abazimisele ngayo ukuqhubeka nokuxhobisa abasindileyo.
IXESHA uStephanie Zacharek, uEliana Dockterman, kunye noHaley Sweetland Edward bhala :
Ubalo lubonakala ngathi luvele ngobusuku obunye. Kodwa ibisoloko ikhala kangangeminyaka, amashumi eminyaka, iinkulungwane. Abasetyhini banayo kunye nabaphathi kunye nabantu osebenza nabo abangapheleli nje kwimida kodwa ababonakali ngathi bayayazi ukuba imida ikhona…. Aba bathuli bathuleyo baqale inguquko yokwala, ukuqokelela amandla emini, kwaye kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo kuphela, umsindo wabo bebonke ukhuthaze iziphumo ezothusayo kanye nezothusayo: phantse yonke imihla, ii-CEO ziye zagxothwa, ii-moguls zabhukuqwa, ii-icon zahlaziswa. Kwezinye iimeko, izityholo zolwaphulo-mthetho zizisiwe… .Zomelezwa nguJudd, uRose McGowan kunye nenqwaba yabanye abatyholwayo, abasetyhini kuyo yonke indawo baqalisile ukuthetha ngokungalunganga, ukuxhaphaza kwaye kwezinye iimeko zokuziphatha ngokungekho mthethweni abaye bajongana nako.
IXESHA kudliwanondlebe nabantu abaninzi abamele ubuncinci kwimizi-mveliso, bonke abo babebize isibindi esingaqhelekanga sokuthetha ngokuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo emsebenzini wabo. Oku kubandakanya owayesakuba yinjineli ka-Uber uSusan Fowler, intatheli u-Megyn Kelly, umgqugquzeli weQela lezaBasebenzi u-Bex Bailey, umlingisi u-Terry Crews, u-dishwasher uSandra Pezqueda, kunye nokunye. Ukubalisa amabali abo, aba bantu benziwe udliwanondlebe benza ukuba babonakale ubume bolu dushe, njengamaxhoba okuphathwa gadalala kunye nokubethwa emva koko kufuneka bajongane nokugxekwa kwexhoba, ukuvala umlomo, kunye nokungabikho koxanduva lokuphendula. Babelane ngamava afanayo ehlazo, uloyiko, kunye nokubuyela umva kwizinto ezahlukeneyo. Umzekelo, uCrystal Washington, owafaka isimangalo sokuhlukumeza nabanye abasebenzi basetyhini abathandathu abavela ePlaza, akanakho ukuwushiya umsebenzi wakhe:
Abo bahlala be sesichengeni ekuhlaleni-abaphambukeli, abantu bebala, abantu abakhubazekileyo, abasebenzi abanengeniso ephantsi kunye nabantu be-LGBTQ-bachaze iintlobo ezininzi zoloyiko. Ukuba baphakamise amazwi abo, ngaba baya kugxothwa? Ngaba abahlali bangabajikela? Ngaba babeza kubulawa? Ngokophando olwenziwe ngo-2015 liZiko leLizwe leTransgender Equality, ama-47% abantu abadlulayo baxelwa ukuba bahlaselwe ngokwesondo ngaxa lithile ebomini babo, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwendawo yokusebenza.
Inkqubo ye- Uluhlu olufutshane lweXESHA isihloko sonyaka ibhengezwe kutsha nje, kwaye kuqukwa namaphupha, uColin Kaepernick, Patty Jenkins, kunye namanye amanani ashiye amanqaku abo kulo nyaka. Kukho uvuyo olukhethekileyo kwiXESHA lokukhetha #MeToo, njengoko isibhengezo sifika emva kokuba uTrump eziqhayisa ngendlela athabathe ngayo isihloko, esilandelwa liphephancwadi liphendula ukuba uMongameli akachanekanga malunga nendlela esikhetha ngayo uMntu woNyaka. IXESHA alithethi nto kukhetho lwethu kude kube kupapashwa, nge-6 kaDisemba.
Igama likaTrump alishiywanga ngaphandle komcimbi, nangona kunjalo, njengembaleki-phambili. Inqaku likwajongana ngqo neefayile ze- Fikelela eHollywood Iteyiphu apho uMongameli eqhayisa ngokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo, ngokubhala, Ukuba uDonald Trump angazibonakalisa ngaloo ndlela kwaye anyulwe njengoMongameli yinxalenye yento eyamisa ingqumbo eyaphembelela uMatshi wamaTyhini ngosuku emva kokumiselwa kwakhe. Yinto eyaziwayo ukuba Trump uyakhathala kancinci malunga negama lakhe ngeXESHA. Ngaba ucinga ukuba uya kuvuyela iindaba?
Ihlobo laseZervos, owayesakuba ngumgqatswa kwi Umfundi , wayengomnye wabafazi abangama-20 abatyhola uMongameli ngeSexual Harassment. Wafaka isimangalo esichasene neTrump kwiintsuku ngaphambi kokumiselwa kwakhe emva kokuphikisa amabango akhe ngokumbiza ngokuba ulixoki. Ijaji yaseNew York kulindeleke ukuba ithathe isigqibo kungekudala ukuba uMongameli ukhuselekile kwizityholo zoluntu ngelixa ese-ofisini. Nokuba sithini na isiphumo, izityholo zongeze umlilo kumlilo okhulayo.
IXESHA liphawula ukuba umzuzu wethu wangoku wezilwanyana ezinamagama kufuneka zibe sisiqalo sotshintsho oluninzi. Sisekwindawo yokuphosa ibhombu yolu hlaziyo, inqanaba elisebenzayo apho i-nuance inokuzimela khona, ithi. Kodwa nangona umsindo ungaqala inguquko, kwimo yayo eluhlaza kunye neferal ayikwazi kuthetha-thethana namanyathelo omdaniso obuthathaka ngakumbi afunekayo kutshintsho lwenene kwezentlalo. Incoko zabucala, ezingenakubekwa mthetho okanye ezinyanzeliswayo, zibalulekile.
Sisikhumbuzo sokuba lo gama sibhiyozela ukuphathwa gadalala kwabo baphendulayo, umlo usekude ukuphela, de amaxhoba asoloko ekholelwa ngokwenyani kwaye inkcubeko yokudlwengulwa iba yinto yexesha elidlulileyo. Kufuneka siqhubeke, ke kulo nyaka kuphawula ukujika okunzima-hayi nje into yango-2017.
