The follow-up development of the "elevator incident" of Beijing Normal University
Beijing Normal University"Elevator incidents"After the incident, the faculty issued a warning: suspend the use of the elevator.
As many people know, the ratio of men and women in universities is not always balanced, and in some schools, especially teacher training colleges, the ratio of men and women can vary greatly.
Teacher training colleges usually have a high number of female students, and in order to increase the utilization of dormitories, mixed accommodation is sometimes used. Typically, the boys live on the ground floor and the girls live on the top, separating in some way.
The master's dormitory building at Beijing Normal University is an example. In this building, the boys live on the lower floors and the girls on the upper floors. In order to make it easier for everyone to travel, the school installed an elevator during construction.
In practice, though, some female students suggest that it is best not to use the elevator for new male students unless there are special circumstances, such as carrying heavy loads.
The reason for this suggestion was the fear that girls might feel embarrassed if they were present when they took the elevator after taking a shower. While this proposal was supported by some girls, some boys objected to it, arguing that it was a privatization and gendering of public resources. They believe that since it is a public resource, both boys and girls should have the right to use the elevator.
Of course, if men voluntarily choose not to take the elevator, this is also their requirement and suspicion of themselves. But you can't ask everyone to make the same choice.
After this incident, it quickly caused a general discussion. Some girls expressed incomprehension of such a request, believing that they were all dressed after bathing and did not wear revealing clothes, so there was nothing to be shy about or avoid. Therefore, male students should not be prohibited from taking the elevator.
Of course, there are also those who think that such a suggestion is reasonable. Through the elevator, the boys can easily reach the floor where the girls are, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and even pose a threat to the safety of the girls. This controversy has attracted a lot of attention in a short period of time.
As the incident unfolded, the administration of Beijing Normal University quickly paid attention to and discussed solutions to prevent the conflict from escalating and avoid conflict and confrontation.
In the end, the Academic Affairs Office of Beijing Normal University issued a notice announcing the suspension of the use of elevators to avoid gender discrimination, and said that it would announce the resumption of the use of elevators in the future.
This approach has been actively supported by netizens, who believe that this is a true manifestation of the principle of fairness, and everyone can take the elevator together, or everyone chooses to take the stairs. Some netizens said that if it weren't for the controversy caused by some girls' proposals, things would not have developed to this point, calling it so"Self-inflicted"。
As for the school's decision, although the confrontation between boys and girls was resolved in a short period of time, some people thought that it was a waste of resources and also caused inconvenience to girls at the top level. Since not all female students are vocal about it, this problem affects all residents of the dormitory. Climbing a dozen floors a day is quite an intense exercise, and it is even more thankless for girls.
Some believe that the reason for the problem is that girls don't need to force boys not to use elevators. Because most boys consciously take the stairs even if they don't ask for it. And, when such a request is made, it is inevitable that some boys will continue to choose to take the elevator.
What's more, some people think that if they have suggestions, they can ask the teacher privately, rather than through the disclosure of information. This attitude will inevitably invite doubts and refutations, and even misunderstandings, and it will appear immature. As for the problem that taking the elevator after taking a shower will be embarrassing for the boys, they think that they can choose to wait for the next elevator, after all, the choice is in the hands of the individual, and the interests of others cannot be sacrificed for their own convenience.
