近日台北市長候選人柯文哲言論引發爭議，從6日批評國民黨嘉義市長參選人陳以真「年輕長得漂亮，可以去坐櫃台」，到7日為醫學生演講時提到「婦產科是在女人大腿間求生活」，被質疑為沙文主義，歧視女性，對此柯文哲也發表聲明道歉。
撇開柯文哲本人時常不假修飾的發言外，本次事件更值得思考的是，「婦產科只剩一個洞」這樣的笑話在醫界流傳已久，柯文哲也講過許多次，這樣的事件揭示了醫界長久以來性別敏感度的缺乏，醫界長期的性別比失衡和家父長主義，導致對女醫師、護理師訕笑、不尊重的事件頻傳，醫學養成教育中也時常忽略了培養學生對性別、身體界線的拿捏。在這次事件中我們除了檢討柯文哲性別意識的缺乏，也應反思他身後醫學界整體結構性的缺陷。
Recently, 柯文哲 the candidate for mayor of Taipei city stirred major controversy when he criticized KMT candidate for the Chiayi city 陳以真 on deplorable gender grounds. “She’s young and pretty, she should be a receptionist”, said 柯文哲. Also, he mentioned that gynecologists make a living in the middle of the legs of women. Many criticized 柯文哲 as male chauvinist. Later 柯文哲 also made a statement for apology.
Putting aside 柯文哲’s speech, there’s one thing that needs to be reflected upon more deeply. Such joke like the gynecologists has been pervasive in the medical field for a long time, and reveal a lack of gender-sensitivity in the field. Long held unbalanced gender ratio and paternalism has led to frequent sexual harassment of women doctors or nurses. In general, the medical education does not grapple with gender equality. Besides 柯文哲’s words, we also need to reflect on the systematic gender inequality in the medical field.
