墨西哥地鐵設置特別座位以展開反性騷擾行動

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.23W 次

The Mexico City Metro is startling riders with what is being called a 'sexist,' men's only subway seat that features a molded plastic nude male torso — complete with a flaccid penis.

墨西哥城地鐵最近讓乘客們非常震驚,原因是車廂多出了一個被認爲是“性別歧視”的男性專座,座位是一個塑料製成的男性軀幹--上面還有一個男性生殖器。

The anatomically correct seat is accompanied by a sign that reads 'exclusive for men' — the sexist part of the seat — and 'It's uncomfortable to sit here but it doesn't compare with the sexual violence that women suffer in their everyday lives.'

這個具有性器官代表的座位,附有一個寫着“男性專座”(人們認爲這有點性別歧視)的標語,雖然“坐在這上邊有點不舒服,但是和女性在日常生活中遭到的性暴力來說不足爲道”。

There's even a video that shows passengers raising their eyebrows in disbelief at the scandalous seat and absentmindedly sitting down on it, only to immediately jump up upon feeling unexpected bulges in place of the usual smooth plastic.

甚至還有一份視頻顯示,乘客都難以置信地看着這個讓人“臉紅心跳”的座位,然後茫然地坐下,但是卻立刻從座位上蹦起來,因爲他們感覺到平常光滑的塑料座椅上多出了一個意想不到的突起。

There's more to the seat than just trying to get a rise out of riders, though.

不過這個座位可不僅僅只是爲了戲弄乘客。

As the slide at the end of the video notes, 'Nine out of 10 women in Mexico City have been victims of some form of sexual violence.'

這段視頻在結尾處說道:“墨西哥城90%的女性曾經遭受過某種形式的性暴力。”

The idea behind the campaign, which was launched by the Mexican government, is to raise awareness of the fact that 65% of Mexico City women revealed that they have been sexually harassed while traveling on the capital city's bus or trains.

該活動是由墨西哥政府提出的,其背後的意義是要提高公衆的意識--墨西哥城65%女性透露自己在乘坐公共汽車和火車時曾被性騷擾。
