2024年12月14日,建國中學第46屆校友會舉辦了畢業30年的「30重聚」校友活動,晚宴菜單上出現物/性化女性的餐點名稱,會場中擺放穿著女校制服的人形立牌供參加者合影,此事引起社會譁然,並掀起關於單一性別學校的性平教育、社會對第一志願的期待等等討論。與此同時,一起麥當勞未成年少女員工遭門市主管權勢性侵後自盡的案件也正延燒中,由於台灣麥當勞當時未確實保護受害員工與落實調查程序,違反《性別平等工作法》,因此遭台北市勞動部開罰100萬元。許多民眾開始以拒吃抵制行為表達不滿,而建國中學在校生在此事件話題仍受熱議的情況下,貼出購買麥當勞的照片,附文:「考完段考就要來點麥當勞,沒有女權的世界真好」,並 Hashtag 建國中學。此舉引發臺中一中、臺南一中、高雄高中等校皆有學生效仿。隨後,建國中學收到數封恐嚇信,在報警之後,校方也針對學生在網路上的不當言論發出道歉聲明。Zukkim 與 Zoe 觀察這些連鎖事件,提出了幾個討論點:1. 私人與公開場合的分界,以及私下的玩笑與行為是否真的沒關係?2. 包容與包庇是不一樣的:進步空間 ≠ 犯錯沒關係3. 青春也許令人懷念,不代表青春的行為就是對的4. 企業 ESG 的概念不只有環境,也包含公司治理與社會責任5. 對話的重要性:有對話才會有進展的可能本集的時事下酒菜為法國吉賽兒性侵案,這起案件中51名可辨識的加害人,除了皆為居住在同一個小鎮的男性之外,年齡、職業、種族、體型、髮型、婚姻狀態、兒時經歷等特徵都沒有明確的共通性,也因此,法國社會以「普通人先生」統稱本起事件中的加害人們。而受害者吉賽兒.佩利科特(Gisèle Pelicot)堅持以公開審理的方式,當庭播放自己遭性侵過程的影像,讓社會與加害者直面性侵的本質,更讓受害者在過往經常需背負的「羞恥」標籤轉移陣營,回歸到真正該懺悔的加害人身上。我們都是普通的老百姓,「普通人先生」們與建中46屆的校友們也都是我們共享日常的其他老百姓,但普通不代表可以沒有社會責任與原則。希望各位老百姓不論有過什麼樣的青春,不論幾歲、在什麼樣的場合,都能保持對錯的判斷力與不成為加害方的原則。希望大家都能夠當個好人,繼續好好長大。《Z色派對》由鬼島之音 Ghost Island Media 製作、出品 主持 - ZUKKIM 張竹芩 & ZOE 李菁琪 企劃、執行 - 葉阿亭剪接、混音 - 小蔡監製 - Emily Y.

81. 女性主義者為什麼要關心男性?|男性困境(上)

Z色派對 Green Party

近年來,社會上越來越頻繁在討論「男性困境」一詞。這集要來聊聊,男性困境到底是什麼,而我們又為什麼需要關心男性困境?當社會對性別的想像太侷限時,任何人都會面對到不同的問題。相對於女性可能會遇到的諸多挑戰,男性會遇到的困境,主持人目前觀察到主要有三個方向:對經濟能力的期望、情緒的壓抑,以及因此而衍生出的交友的受挫感。雖然許多困境屬於感受層面,比較難被量化,但還是有些數據可以參考:根據台灣衛福部所發佈的統計,2023年台灣中壯年男性自殺死亡率為每十萬人21.7人,相較中壯年女性的每十萬人11.6人,男性是女性的1.87倍。另根據內政部統計,男性大學肄業生人數逐年加速攀升,同時女性大學畢業人口數在2008年開始超越男性,並在2023年超過男性大學畢業生人口大約三十萬人。在我們為女性的權益進步雀躍,以及為女性依然面對的挑戰而努力的同時,也可以多多關注周圍男性的生活處境。在父權結構之下,人人都是某種程度下的受害者。希望大家做為一起活在這個地球上的人,都能願意關心和自己一起活著的人正在面對的事情。《Z色派對》由鬼島之音 Ghost Island Media 製作、出品 主持 - ZUKKIM 張竹芩 & ZOE 李菁琪 企劃、執行 - 葉阿亭剪接、混音 - 小蔡監製 - Emily Y.

十月底(10月29日),台灣法務部突然公告修法草案,預告加重刑法第288及290條關於墮胎行為的刑罰,將墮胎行為的罰金從三千元提高至八萬元,協助墮胎意圖營利者的罰金則從一萬五千元提高至五十萬元。此公告一出,引起台灣社會一陣譁然。由於提高罰則可能會嚇阻合法醫療機構提供安全人工流產的醫療協助,需要人工流產的婦女可能因此被迫尋求相對不安全的方式進行引產。本月初(11月5日),法務部再度發布聲明,宣布撤回草案預告,重新再議。也因為此事件,台灣社會再次出現希望法務部將「墮胎罪」廢除的討論。有些人是直到這次十月底的法務部修法公告,才知道原來台灣刑法裡其實還存在著「墮胎罪」這項罪名。本集快訊中,Zoe以律師角度說明在刑法「墮胎罪」章節仍舊存在的情況下,《優生保健法》如何突破重圍讓婦女仍舊有合法墮胎的權利。Zukkim 也在十月底法務部公告消息一出之後,立刻與台灣大學公共衛生學院的教授們聯合撰稿,投書《報導者》,說明保障婦女的墮胎權為何如此重要。Zukkim 與教授們的《報導者》讀者投書全文:https://www.twreporter.org/a/opinion-abortion-decriminalization更多關於墮胎權的討論,可以聽《Z色派對》EP29|美國墮胎權大倒車,最高法院裁決震驚全球:https://ghostisland.media/zh/shows/green-party/roe-v-wade   《Z色派對》由鬼島之音 Ghost Island Media 製作、出品 主持 - ZUKKIM 張竹芩 & ZOE 李菁琪企劃、執行 - 葉阿亭剪接、混音 - 小蔡監製 - Emily Y.

In January the world's eyes were on Taiwan as the self-ruled island held elections. Now the dust has settled, what is the significance of the results, both for Taiwan itself and for the wider international community? The Democratic Progressive Party has now won its third presidential election in a row, with Lai Ching-te, or William Lai, set to become Taiwan's new leader in May. But the outcome in the country's Legislative Yuan – the equivalent to its parliament — was more of a mixed bag, with none of the leading parties gaining a majority.This episode discusses the lessons from the election and how the new president will deal with challenges both at home and abroad - not least its large and increasingly belligerent neighbour across the Taiwan Strait, China. On the show to talk through these issues is Emily Y. Wu, co-founder of Ghost Island Media - a podcast network that brings perspectives from Taiwan on issues from politics to social issues to climate change. And joining her is Joseph Wong, Professor at Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto, who was in Taiwan for the election as an observer.

In this special collaboration with Ghost Island Media,  host Emily Y. Wu discusses the importance of local and diverse perspectives when it comes to global coverage of Taiwan. Taipei-based journalists Silva Shih, Afore Hsieh, Wen-Yee Lee join Emily in this wide-ranging discussion.  Taiwan's upcoming election has become one of the most closely monitored  events in decades, drawing the attention of foreign press members, international scholars, and think-tank or trade delegations. This heightened interest is reflected not only in the increased number of books published about Taiwan, spanning countries such as Denmark, Germany, and the U.S., but also in the creation of numerous high-quality newsletters dedicated to Taiwan this year. As global attention on Taiwan intensifies, so does the significance of the work undertaken by domestic journalists. During a recent news forum hosted by RTI, the Chief China Correspondent of the New York Times emphasized the crucial role of local journalism, stating that the ideas shaping global news often originate from local reporting. In light of this, Emily Y. Wu, Silva, Wen-Yee, and Afore provide a glimpse into the landscape of local reporting during this period of rare foreign press attention and international curiosity focused on Taiwan. Many thanks to our panelists, Emily, and the team at Ghost Island Media for partnering with us for this collaborative episode.

In this episode, she gives an insight into her work and her country – one of only three “full democracies” in Asia.

Emily talks about Chen Chu, a Taiwanese politician seen in photos with Nancy Pelosi during her recent trip to Taiwan, but hasn't been mentioned much in the media. In 1980 Chen Chu was a political activist and stood in front of a military court in Taipei. She was subsequently sentenced and jailed there. Fast forward to 2022, she's giving a tour of the Human Rights Museum (the former prison) to U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the delegation. This shows how much Taiwan has progressed since authoritarian rule. Authoritarian rules does not last forever.

Solar is - in some places in the world - the cheapest energy, even cheaper than coal and oil with fossil fuel subsidies. Solar is inexpensive, inoffensive, inexpensive.

We also catch up with Calvin Cheng, co-founder of the solar developer PGE in Taiwan. Cheng tells us it's much easier to get financing now than ever. By 2030, 1 in 7 American homes are expected to have solar panels. And by 2050, it's to become up to 45% of the U.S. electricity supply. Over here in Taiwan, clean energy accounts for just 5% of our energy supply. Taiwan wants to raise that number to 20% by 2030.

PTT is one of the most open social media platforms in the Chinese language. Though it's not more populous than Facebook, it's arguably more impactful than Facebook here in Taiwan. It's a reflection of Taiwan's spirited democracy, and it's used heavily as a source for local journalists. We speak with two INDSR researchers on a year-long project, “A Pilot Study on PTT in the Context of Influence Operations” (批踢踢影響力作戰前導研究)which attempts to identify CCP state actors on the platfor. The researchers are Oddis J.F. Tsai (Policy Analyst at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources) and Dr. Jui-Ming Hung (Assistant Research Fellow at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources). The paper lays out mechanics and - through quantitative analysis - identifies types of suspect behavior on the world's largest non-commercial, forum-based, open-source online bulletin board system in the Chinese language. This interview was recorded in January 2021 after the paper was published by INDSR. The paper is available here: https://indsr.org.tw/en/News_detail/2181/A-Year-of-Influence-en Today's host is J.R. Wu - a non-resident advisor at INDSR (Institute for National Defense and Security Research) in Taiwan. Wu is a former journalist with nearly two decades of media experience in the US and Asia.

“Democracy is a failure” - that's the narrative the Chinese Communist Party has been trying to plant over the past year and hopes to take root in international discourse and in the minds of its 1.4 billion citizens. This disinformation has heavy implications for democracy in Taiwan, and it's never been as serious as it is now. CCP disinformation methods are detailed in a report issued late last year titled “Deafening Whispers” by Doublethink Lab, a Taiwanese organization whose mission is to strengthen democracy through digital defense. The report has just been made available in English. This interview was recorded in January 2021 when the Chinese-version of the report was first published. Online disinformation and influence operations affect offline real-world defense and security. Fake news is a global issue and this is The Taiwan Take. Today's guest is Dr. Puma Shen (沈伯洋), chairman of Doublethink Lab (台灣民主實驗室) and an assistant professor at National Taipei University. Today's episode is hosted by J.R.

It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal...
