The "obscenity list" incident of elite schools has sparked angry condemnation
A filthy list that ranks girls as "rapeable" has sparked outrage at Yarra Valley Grammar, a leading boys' school in Victoria.
In this outrageous list, the boys disparage the girls to terms such as "wives" and "cuties" and divide them into stigma classes such as "rapeable" and "non-rape".
The absurd incident quickly sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across the country.
Victorian Premier Jacintha Allen also expressed outrage and slammed the list as "misogynistic, shameful and utterly unacceptable".
She lamented that four women were recently killed every week in Victoria as a result of domestic violence or crimes committed by strangers, and that "this pattern of violence against women must be eradicated".
Mark Merry, principal of Yarra Valley Grammar School, said the school takes this very seriously and has immediately launched an investigation and reported it to the police.
He said that the list "used offensive language and openly mentioned sexual violence", which is completely contrary to the school's educational philosophy, and will actively communicate with the girls and parents involved to deal with follow-up matters.
Merry revealed that the students who made the list would be suspended from school, which is a severe punishment for their misconduct.
He lamented that although schools have been offering courses such as "Respect for Relationships", it is clear that there is still a lot of room for improvement in eliminating gender discrimination and cultivating positive values.
Some students have long been immersed in the lowbrow culture of online social media and have embraced false and harmful gender biases.
Federal Education Minister Jason Clare expressed shock and indignation at the incident and endorsed the suspension.
"It's an outrageous and unbelievable list," he said, reflecting how much more work remains to be done to eliminate gender discrimination and promote gender equality in education.
Chanel Cantos, a well-known agreeing educator, called for the suspension to serve as a standard for similar incidents in order to discourage others from repeating the same mistakes.
"Too many of us have experienced the humiliation of being objectified and degraded in our adolescence, and the impact of this discrimination on young people is long-lasting," she wrote on social media. I hope that this incident will arouse the full attention of the whole society. "
The incident once again highlights the persistence of disrespect, stigma and objectification of women in Australian society.
To solve this problem, it is not enough for the government to introduce relevant laws and policies, but also requires the cooperation of families, schools and society to strengthen gender equality education at the source and vigorously eliminate all forms of gender discrimination and prejudice, so that everyone can truly be respected as they deserve.
