G. Willow Wilson和Amanda Palmer在创意产业中开放了性别歧视

阿曼达 - 帕尔默 - 怀孕-480x480

本周早些时候中等的由Amanda Palmer发布了一块怀孕艺术家分享了她最近收到的一封信来自“有关”(读:判断)Patreon支持者。

该电子邮件与主题线“加入Patreon之后的婴儿公告?......诈骗了,”并继续警告帕尔默,她的宝宝或她的职业生涯不可避免地遭受帕尔默的决定成为母亲:

你拥有一个规模合理且不断增长的粉丝基础。总会有人买你的商品,你的专辑,你演出的门票。你不需要加入Patreon,但你还是加入了。然后你宣布怀孕了,多年来你一直说不想当妈妈。这让我担心接下来会发生什么。

幼儿是我的日常工作。我照顾了我的两个侄子。我知道幼儿需要很多关注。特别是如果它们像你或我一样的超敏。您将通过那个特质的机会。当你有这个宝宝时,他们/她/它会受苦,或者你的职业生涯会受苦。如果您的怀孕和我的一些朋友的怀孕一样,您的职业会越早越早遭受很多。

In an open response letter, Palmer admitted to worries about how having her first child might impact her career, worries that are understandable considering that this “concerned fan” isn’t alone in their belief that motherhood may make women less productive, reliable, creative and intelligent. Palmer writes, “Where I grew up, there weren’t really any Mom Artists in my field of vision […] Female musicians I encountered at an early age were never shown in videos or pictures with children in tow.”

The essay goes on to address the politics of maternity and crowdfunding, and the pressure on women to compartmentalize their life by not using supporters’ money on baby formula and other necessary parental supplies (a pressure that it’s hard to imagine a father-artist facing).

It’s obviously a uniquely privileged position to be able to fund your career primarily with crowdfunding, but the absurd pressure on women to a.) not get pregnant or b.) not change their output at all during or following pregnancy, isn’t specific to creators who rely on Patreon or Kickstarter.

阅读Palmer的文章后,Marvel女士艺术家G. Willow Wilson共享类似的经验,同时使用Marvel:

这类故事并不新鲜,显然对许多女性来说情况更为严重。但值得指出的是,对于那些声称“最有才华的人/最会讲故事的人/最适合这份工作的人”的行业来说不可避免地升到顶部,甲板肯定似乎依靠女性堆积。
