全ての女の子たちへ
相手に優しくすることよりも、
自分自身の安全と安心を優先して大丈夫だよ —
いつもいつも、
繰り返し繰り返し、伝えていかなければならないこと。
自分の気持ちが大事なんて、みんな分かってる。
でも、ふと相手を目の前にした時、自分がどうしたいかなど完璧に忘れてしまえるほど、
相手への優しさや我慢することを優先してしまえる能力を
身に着けてしまっている子供たちや大人がたくさんいる。
皆何も持たないで0歳で生まれてきたのに、
そんな能力を身に着けさせたのは、この社会の一体何で、誰なんだろう。
私たちはそれを”unlearn”する。
そして、長年染みついたものを一人で振り払うのは難しいから、
助けあう。
繰り返し繰り返し、伝え合っていく。
“Teach girls to prioritize feeling safe over being nice.”

Nobody ever has to say “me too” again.
もう誰も”me too”と言わなくて済む社会を目指して。

This video, created in 2015 by Thames Valley Police UK, has been subtitled in Japanese and over 100,000 retweeted in Japanese Twitter community.
A journalist, one of the closest to the PM of Japan, has been accused of rape which happened two years ago. And apparently he wasn’t arrested for some reason even though he was almost about to be arrested. This news has got highly focused on internet in Japan since last week.

It’s so awful that this affair would’ve been forgotten in the society unless this woman, the victim, had courageously appeared in front of cameras and accused him with her own voice.
Watching people’s reactions to this accusation, one Twitter user @__for_good__ translated this video in Japanese and released it on her/his own account.
While I’ve been disgusted with too many things happening unfairly under the current administration, I’m happy that this kind of “illuminating” and “educational” video has got to be widely spread among people in Japan.
I would say, as a heavy Twitter user in Japanese language, getting 100,000 retweets is not easy for a Tweet which mention something about politics or education. Usually such tweets are shared just among a small part of people, who regularly discuss this kind of topics on internet.
However, as the result shows, what this video tells us hasn’t be regarded as something should be discussed among few academic people, but something generally important and understandable.
The tricks contained in this video mean a lot. It doesn’t look like a typical “illuminating” stuff, it is so simple as only a figure of stick man appears, it never mention which person is man or woman…
All of these factors would have worked really well to many people. Finally this video easily brings us to think about rape which happens in a case that a victim is unconscious because of alcohol, sick or drug.
And actually I do want to praise the person who created this Japanese subtitled version. Simply I think, he/she did brilliant translation.
My favorite part is,「紅茶は要らない ただそれだけのことです」translated from, “They just don’t want tea. Okay? ”
What she/he’s done means a lot to many people, including me. ：）
