美國大學男生兄弟會的“問題”

美國大學男生兄弟會的“問題”:如果有機會,你想強奸誰?


佛芒特大學兄弟會“西格馬斐厄普西龍”給會員的一份問卷中居然有如此問題! 真叫人無語氣絕! 這份秘密問卷被一個新會員不小心泄露出去,引起強烈反彈,立馬有3000多人在請願書上簽名,要求校方嚴肅處理該所兄弟會。日前校方已經臨時關閉此會。

問題是,這幫男生,為什麽會問出這樣的問題呢?是受到誰人指使?是受到誰的影響?父母?同伴?媒體?社會?對女性的暴力,居然會那麽理所當然??


Frat suspended after surveying its members on who they would like to rape


Really, Sigma Phi Epsilon? There’s no way the University of Vermont frat really thought it was ok to send a survey to its members asking, “If you could rape anyone, who would it be?” Is there? (Wait, don’t answer that.)

But now that the survey has been leaked to the interwebs–apparently because a new member accidentally emailed it to his teaching assistant (ouch!)–they’re finding out it’s not ok–and fast. Feminists activists at UVM and FED UP Vermont have swiftly mobilized to call for the frat to be shut down.

On their petition, which has gotten over 3,000 signatures now, they write:


This egregious expression of rape culture is only the most recent example of systemic sexism at UVM. The past year alone has witnessed rape, multiple sexual assaults, and anti-abortion chalking in public spaces. While the university administration has laid off long-time Women’s and Gender Studies faculty and supported sexist institutions like Sigma Phi Epsilon, it has refused to take concerted action to combat sexism and rape culture. We demand that instead of diverting resources into vast salaries for its administrators, UVM should launch an aggressive campaign against sexism and rape culture, and it should expand institutions such as Women’s and Gender Studies and the Women’s Center at UVM. Furthermore, UVM must immediately disband Sigma Phi Epsilon. An institution that discusses who it wants to rape has no place at UVM or in the Burlington community.

Yesterday, the university temporarily suspended the frat, pending an investigation. This afternoon, feminists on campus, who are still demanding the frat be shut down for good, held a press conference that drew about 200 people to the steps of the university library. Hopefully they’ll be able to take the convo beyond this one awful example and raise some real awareness about rape culture in their community.
