The Reasonable Woman Standard
A)Since the volatile mix of sex and harassment exploded under the Capitol dome, it hasn’t just been senators scurrying for cover. The case of the professor and the judge has left a gender gap that looks more like a crater.
B)We have discovered that men and women see this issue differently. On the "Today" show, Bryant Gumbel asks something about a man’ s right to have a pinup on the wall and Katie Couric says what she thinks of that. On the normally sober "MacNeil / Lehrer" hour the usual panel of legal experts doesn’t break down between left and right but between male and female.
C)On a hundred radio talk shows, women are sharing experiences and men are asking for proof. In ten thousand offices, the order of the day is the nervous joke. One boss asks his secretary if he can still say "good morning," or is that sexual harassment. Heh, heh. The women aren’t laughing.
D)Okay boys and girls, back to your corners. Can we talk? Can we hear?
E)The good news is that women have stopped rolling their eyes at each other and started speaking out. The bad news is that we may each assume the other gender not only doesn’t understand but can’t understand. "They don’t get it" becomes "they can’t get it."
F)Let’s start with the fact that sexual harassment is a concept as new as date rape. Date rape, that should-be oxymoron, assumes a different perspective on the part of the man and the woman. His date, her rape. Sexual harassment comes with some of the same assumptions. What he labels sexual, she labels harassment.
G)This produces what many men tend to darkly call a "murky" area of the law. Murky, however, is a step in the right direction. When everything was clear, it was clearly biased. The old single standard was a male standard. The only options a working woman had were to grin, bear it or quit.
H)Sexual harassment rules are based on the point of view of the victim, nearly always a woman. The rules ask, nor just whether she has been physically assaulted, but whether the environment in which she works is intimidating or coercive, and whether she feels harassed. It says that her feelings matter.
I)This, of course, raises all sorts of hackles about women’s feelings, women’s sensitivity. How can you judge the sensitivity level of every single woman you work with? What’ s a poor man to do?
J)But the law isn’t psychiatry. It doesn’t adapt to individual sensitivity levels. There is a standard emerging by which the courts can judge these cases and by which people can judge them as well. It’s called "the reasonable woman standard". How would a reasonable woman interpret this? How would a reasonable woman behave?
K)This is not an entirely new idea, although perhaps the law’s belief in the reasonableness of women is. There has long been a "reasonable man" in the law not to mention a "reasonable pilot", a "reasonable innkeeper", a "reasonable train operator".
L)Now the law is admitting that a reasonable woman may see these situations differently from a man. That truth—available in your senator’s mailbag—is also apparent in research. We tend to see sexualized situations from our own gender’s perspective. Kim Lane Scheppele, a political science and law professor at the University of Michigan, summarizes the miscues this way: "Men see the sex first and miss the coercion. Women see the coercion and miss the sex."
M)Does that mean that we are genetically doomed to our double vision? Scheppele is quick to say no. Our justice system rests on the belief that one person can get in another’s head, walk in her shoes, see things from another perspective. And so dose our hope for change.
N)If a jury of car drivers can understand how a "reasonable pilot" would see one situation, a jury of men can see how a reasonable woman would see another event. The crucial ingredient is empathy.
O)Check it out in the office tomorrow. He’s coming on, she’s backing off, he keeps coming. Read the body language. There’ s a Playboy calendar on the wall and a PMS joke in the boardroom and the boss is just being friendly. How would a reasonable woman feel?
P)At this moment, when the air is cracking with hostility and consciousness-raising, has the hair sticking up on the back of many necks, guess what? Men can "get it". Reasonable men. [br] According to Kim Lane Scheppele, both men and women just see one aspect while missing the other aspect of sexualized situations.

L
解析
题干:金·莱恩·斯科普认为,在看待性的问题时,男人和女人都只看到了一方面而忽略了另外一方面。题干关键词是Kim Lane Scheppele,missing和sexualized situations。文中L段第三四句提到。我们都倾向于从自己的性别角度看待关于性的问题,密歇根大学的政治科学和法学教授金·莱恩·斯科普这样总结:“男人看到的是性而忽略了胁迫,女人看到的是胁迫而忽略了性。”与题干意思一致,故选L。
