新奇事件簿 男子控告女子大学
A man has filed a lawsuit against an all-women's university in Japan after they rejected his application to join the university because he is male. The unnamed man claims Fukuoka Women's University is discriminating against him based on his gender. He also claims the university's policy of admitting female-only students is unconstitutional. The Japanese constitution states that all citizens have an equal right to education. He wants the university to accept his application to study and pay him 660,000 yen in damages for the anguish caused by the rejection. It is the first time in Japan that someone is suing a national or public women's university over its constitutionality.
一名男性控告一所日本女子大学，称由于他是男性，学校拒绝了他的申请。这位没有留下名字的男子称日本福冈女子大学对他进行性别歧视。他还说学校只招收女子的规定是违反法律的。日本法律规定所有公民有享有教育的权利。他希望学校能够接受他的申请，并提出学校赔偿他赔偿金，价值66万日元，作为由于拒绝所带来的后果。这是日本第一次就法律问题向公立女子学校提出诉讼。
The man believes he has a good case. He said the women's university was one of his only options to pursue a career as a dietician. He said: "If my application is rejected, the path to become a dietitian would be narrow as I will be forced to go to a university [far away]." The man's lawyer said women-only universities are anachronistic in today's world. He said: "In the past, women's universities had the role of giving preferential treatment to women who had fewer opportunities for education, but that role is no longer necessary." A university official said: "We have a 91-year history of promoting women's education. We are determined to continue to provide education to prepare women for leadership roles."
这名男子相信他将获胜。他说女子学校是他成为营养师的唯一选择。他说：“如果我没有得到录取，那么我成为营养师的道路将会渺茫，我将被迫去很远的学校上学。”这名男子的律师说女子学校是与现代社会不符的。他说：“在过去，女子学校是给那些无法受到教育的女性提供的，但是今天这样的学校是没有必要的。”学校官员说：“我们学校有91年的历史。我们的宗旨就是把女性培养到领导及的水准。”
