The turmoil originated in July 2024, when an outstanding young scholar named Wang Di at Tsinghua University suddenly became the focus of heated discussions.
Wang Di was on the hot search because he was harassed by his mentor some time ago and was threatened, but with Tsinghua University's handling of the Wang Di incident, various voices began to appear on the Internet.
At a time when public opinion was disturbing, a Tsinghua professor's speech was like a bombshell, pushing the whole discussion to a climax. When talking about the Wang Di incident, the professor said something like "worried that male tutors would not want to recruit female students".
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Netizens poured into the comment area, some supported and some opposed, and the debate became more and more intense.
Some netizens said that the professor's concerns were not groundless. They point out that in reality, there are cases where some male supervisors prefer male students when recruiting graduate students.
This may stem from factors such as cultural background, traditional beliefs, etc., which lead some tutors to have subconscious biases when selecting students. For example, some tutors may believe that male students have an advantage in certain technical, competitive areas.
Although this idea is not necessarily accurate, it influences their choice to some extent. However, there are also many people who question this view, believing that it is unfair treatment of women.
They emphasize that a person's abilities should not be limited because of their gender, and that everyone should be evaluated based on their own strength and performance, not gender.
Many more are calling for the elimination of this potential gender discrimination and for every student to have an equal opportunity to pursue their dreams. At present, Tsinghua University has not officially responded to the professor's remarks.
However, the discussion has sparked widespread attention and heated discussions on social media. Many academics, experts and ordinary netizens have joined the debate about gender equality.
According to reports, some universities have begun to take steps to try to improve possible gender biases in the admissions and tutor selection process. For example, some universities are considering introducing a "blind review" system for admissions interviews.
That is, the applicant's gender information is not disclosed during the initial screening stage to ensure the fairness of the evaluation. At the same time, some academic institutions and social organizations have begun to pay more attention to this issue.
They called for more research and discussion to find out the root causes of this potential bias and to come up with workable solutions. Although there is no direct official response for the time being.
However, this discussion has already attracted a lot of attention from all walks of life, and it is believed that more measures and policies will be introduced in the future to promote gender equality in the academic community.
Although Professor Tsinghua's remarks caused controversy, they also made us wonder: did his speech add insult to injury, or did it sound a wake-up call for the problem?
Proponents argue that the professor is revealing the problems in academia in a straightforward way. By openly discussing this sensitive topic, it is possible to draw the attention of society and promote the resolution of the problem.
As one netizen said: "Sometimes, wounds can only heal better if they are exposed to the sun." Opponents, however, argue that as an influential educator, such rhetoric could exacerbate prejudice against female academics.
There are concerns that this statement may cause some female students to doubt their academic future and forgo the opportunity to pursue certain majors. A female graduate student said.
"When I hear those words, I really feel devastated. I began to wonder if I was really suitable for further education and if I would lose the opportunity because of my gender. "
After reading the detailed report of this incident, I don't know how everyone feels? Don't you think it's not easy to go to university? Don't worry, and let me tell you more.
What the Tsinghua professor said, is it good or bad? said that he was worried that the male tutor would not be willing to recruit girls, isn't this a deliberate label for girls? Can't girls do well?
Besides, are those male tutors too cautious and even afraid of a female student? You see, those experts are talking about eliminating prejudice and promoting equality.
But how do we ordinary people understand this? Let's just want to know, is there a way out for girls to go to school in the future? Besides, those colleges and universities shout every day to cultivate talents, but in the end, it still depends on gender? Isn't that a paradox?
Alas, after thinking about it, I still feel bottomless in my heart. Those professors shout every day that they want to cultivate talents for the country, but the future of our girls is so worthless?
Who is our education for? Is it to develop talent, or is it to satisfy the biases of some people?
Is it really necessary to wait until girls are afraid to apply for certain majors in exchange for a sentence "We value gender equality"? Who will protect the fairness of education?
