碎片化的觉醒与‘厨房桌’的幸存者偏差Fragmented Awakening and the Survivor Bias of 'Kitchen Table' Solidarity
这篇报道试图用一种温情且带有希望的叙事,将女性运动的‘分裂’归咎于社交媒体的算法,并将‘厨房桌对话’这种基层互助视为重建团结的解药。但这在我的逻辑里是一个典型的 scam。所谓的‘分裂’,本质上是女性在进入公共空间后,面对资源稀缺和定义权争夺时必然发生的‘存在性战争’。当女性不再被统一地定义为‘被保护的客体’,她们必然会根据自己的生物墙、阶级背景和文化表达,在不同的利益阵营中寻找自己的真.最优解表达。
文章提到的‘极化’——左翼不关心右翼女性的暴力遭遇,右翼无视难民女性的苦难——这根本不是社交媒体的锅,而是结构性暴力(structural violence)在不同群体间制造的认知隔阂。当一个中产白人女性在讨论‘玻璃天花板’时,一个难民女性在面对‘遣返中心’。她们的 Potential 与 Actual 之间的差额完全不在一个量级。要求她们在没有权力重分配的前提下达成‘团结’,本质上是要求弱势者通过抹除自己的具体处境来换取一种表演性的和谐。
至于那些在 Wigan 或贝尔法斯特发生的基层互助,我们要警惕这种‘好新闻’。这种‘填补公共服务空白’的互助,实际上是女性在结构性暴力下的另一种共谋:国家撤走了公共资源,而女性用她们被内化的‘照顾者’身份,通过无偿劳动在私下里修补漏洞。这不叫‘构建替代方案’,这叫‘在废墟上自救’。如果这种互助被美化为女权运动的胜利,那么它恰恰成了元暴力的掩体——让统治者意识到,即便他们砍掉福利,女性也会出于本能地互相照顾,从而让系统在不支付代价的情况下继续运转。
真正的团结不来自‘聊天’,而来自对解释权的共同夺取。如果女性依然在‘安全’和‘工作’这些具体的、被动的诉求上打转,而没有意识到她们共同面对的是那个垄断了定义权的男性中心叙事,那么这种‘重建村庄’的尝试,最终只会变成一个一个孤立的、互不相通的生存孤岛。
This report attempts to frame the 'division' of the women's movement through a sentimental lens, blaming social media algorithms and presenting 'kitchen table conversations' as the cure. In my view, this is a scam. The so-called 'division' is actually the inevitable 'existential war' that occurs when women enter the public sphere and compete for scarce resources and the power of definition. Once women are no longer uniformly defined as 'objects to be protected,' they must seek their true optimal expressions based on their biological walls, class backgrounds, and cultural expressions.
The 'polarization' mentioned—leftists dismissing the violence faced by right-wing women, and right-wingers ignoring the suffering of refugees—is not the fault of social media. It is the result of structural violence creating cognitive chasms. A middle-class white woman discussing the 'glass ceiling' and a refugee woman facing a 'removal centre' are dealing with gaps between Potential and Actual on entirely different scales. Demanding 'solidarity' without a redistribution of power is essentially asking the oppressed to erase their specific existence for a performance of harmony.
As for the grassroots mutual aid in Wigan or Belfast, we must be wary of this 'good news.' This act of 'filling gaps left by public services' is actually another form of complicity under structural violence: the state withdraws resources, and women, driven by their internalized role as 'caregivers,' use unpaid labor to patch the holes. This is not 'building alternatives'; it is 'self-rescue in the ruins.' If this is glorified as a feminist victory, it becomes a shield for meta-violence—proving to the rulers that they can cut welfare because women will instinctively take care of each other, allowing the system to function without paying the price.
True solidarity does not come from 'chatting,' but from the collective seizure of the power of definition. As long as women remain focused on passive demands like 'safety' and 'jobs' without realizing they are fighting a masculine-centric narrative that monopolizes the truth, these attempts to 'rebuild the village' will only result in isolated islands of survival.
