骂了女性又坑了男性?俞敏洪就“女性堕落”论道歉却被指越描越黑(俞敏洪调侃女性事件)
近日,俞敏洪在一个教育论坛上关于“女性堕落”的观点引发广泛争议。根据网上流传的视频,俞敏洪在谈到“衡量评价的方向决定了教育的方向”时,称“中国女人挑选男人的标准是要男人会赚钱,至于良心好不好不管,所以中国女性的堕落导致了国家的堕落。”
此言论一出,一时间引发各路网友口诛笔伐。
18日晚,俞敏洪发微博道歉,称其真正想表达的意思是,“一个国家的女性的水平,就代表了国家的水平。女性素质高,母亲素质高,就能够教育出高素质的孩子。男性也被女性的价值观所引导,女性如果追求知性生活,男性一定会变得更智慧;女性如果眼里只有钱,男性就会拼命去挣钱,忽视了精神的修炼。女性强则男人强,则国家强。”
然而,从网民反应及态度来看,无论是俞敏洪的演讲,还是他的道歉,似乎都没有得到大家的理解,反被指“越描越黑”。
其中,最为网友所热议的是女演员张雨绮在个人微博的回应——“我只能说,北大的教育和新东方的成功都没能帮你理解女性的价值,没让你能理解什么是平等的两性关系,甚至没帮你搞明白什么是平等。”
针对俞敏洪的致歉,转发数最高的一条评论回应道,“对不起,女性素质高是为了追求更好的生活选择权利,不做男人和孩子的附庸。而且教育不是母亲和女性一个人的事,女性的职责不是为了服务男性,提高什么男性素质和下一代的素质。”
一条获赞众多的评论调侃道,“一段话歧视俩性别也确实比较难做到。”
还有网友“纠正”说,“不是一个国家女性的水平代表了一个国家的水平,而是一个国家对待女性的水平代表了一个国家的水平。”
不过,俞敏洪一席话,在一些网友看来,只是表达偏差,属于“话糙理不糙”。
1980年,俞敏洪考入北京大学西语系,本科毕业后留校任教,随后辞职;1993年创办北京新东方学校,2006年带领新东方在美国纽约证交所上市,成为中国大陆第一家在美国上市的教育机构。
据中新网消息,二级市场上,新东方股价6月份升至阶段新高108.23美元/股后,近5个月来,股价已近乎腰斩。截至16日收盘跌5.34%,股价报55.68美元/股。
此外,公开资料显示,新东方集团于2005年成立新东方在线,董事长为俞敏洪。2017年3月,新东方在线正式挂牌新三板,估值达32亿元。2017年12月26日,新东方在线称因业务发展调整,申请终止挂牌。2018年7月17日晚,港交所首次披露了新东方在线的招股书,拟赴港上市。据媒体报道,新东方在线将于本周开始路演推介工作,IPO融资规模为2-3亿美元(15.6-23.4亿港元)。
在此言论发酵之际,对于周一开盘的新东方,以及即将在港路演推介的新东方在线又会有何影响呢?
Money is what Chinese women want in a mate and having a good conscience is really not the point. As such, it can be said depraved women degenerate the whole of China, said Yu Minhong, founder and president of New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. on November 18.
These comments in a public speech soon went viral on China\’s social media, striking a chord with many men while being shot down by women and media outlets.
Irritated by Yu\’s words, Chinese actress Zhang Yuqi, also known as Kitty Zhang, responded on China\’s Twitter-like social platform Weibo by saying that \”schooling years in Peking University and the success of New Oriental failed to help you understand values of women or the essence of gender equality. You even have no idea of equality.\” The posting received over 730,000 likes.

To counter the backlash, Yu later made an apology in a posting on his own Weibo account late. \”What I wanted to say was that the level of a country\’s females represents the level of the country…
\”In the meantime, men are also guided by women\’s values – if the latter are in the pursuit of intellectual life, men will become more intelligent; if women blindly chase after wealth and material life, men will scramble to earn bread and milk while neglecting wholly the spiritual life.\”
China will be strong only if the males are strong, and the males will be strong when females are powerful, he added.
Yu, an undergraduate of Peking University, established Beijing New Oriental School in 1993. In 2006, New Oriental was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Chinese mainland\’s first educational institution to go public in the United States.
The company\’s share price has dived by 50 percent on the NYSE in the past five months after hitting a record high of 108.23 US dollars per share on June 12. It closed on November 16 with the stock price standing at 55.68 US dollars per share.
