2020考研英语时事阅读:妇女的“战争”

Technology plays a growing role in the ongoing “war on women,” an onslaught of laws, policies and political discourse built on the belief that children, babies and even fetuses require “protection” from pregnant women and mothers. Biometric technology in particular, which uses biological information to track, monitor and collect data, has potentially punitive and far-reaching potential to enhance the surveillance of women’s reproduction.

Owlet was founded in 2013 by four male graduates of Brigham Young University and has already made its mark in the field of “infant wearables” with a Smart Sock device that tracks babies’ vital signs while they sleep. The Owlet Band promises the next step in monitoring by introducing the process before birth. It does so with a stretchy, form-fitting material that encircles a pregnant woman’s midsection in a net of sensors that track the movements of her growing fetus.

The Owlet Band threatens to naturalize the tracking and surveillance of pregnancy by appealing to maternal anxiety, a seemingly innocuous practice that could further restrict the already imperiled reproductive autonomy of women.

【译文】

技术在正在进行的“对妇女的战争”中扮演着越来越重要的角色。这种冲击是建立在对儿童,婴儿甚至胎儿都需要孕妇和母亲“保护”的信念基础上的。特别是生物识别技术,利用生物信息来跟踪,监测和收集数据,具有潜在的惩罚性和深远的潜力,可以加强对妇女生殖的监测。

Owlet由大学的四名男性毕业生于2013年创立,并已通过Smart Sock设备在“婴儿可穿戴设备”领域取得了成功,该设备可在睡眠时跟踪婴儿的生命体征。Owlet Band承诺通过在出生前引入该过程来进行监测的下一步。它采用弹性,贴身的材料,围绕着孕妇的腹部,用传感器网络跟踪胎儿的生长情况。

小猫头鹰(Owlet Band)设备,有可能让(女性)自然生产的追踪和监视受到威胁。一个看似无害的动作,有可能会加剧(限制)原本已经受到威胁的生殖自主权。
