新泽西州格伦里奇的一名橄榄球运动员轮奸了一名弱智女孩；怀俄明州同性恋大学生马修·谢泼德被谋杀；科罗拉多州利特尔顿哥伦拜恩高中的屠杀事件是由“精神错乱”或“邪恶”的肇事者所为？还是更深层次社会问题的症状？这些悲剧中的每一个都以多种方式“解释”：容易获得枪支；心烦意乱的父母和破碎的家庭；互联网及其对陷入困境的青少年的危险；国民道德沦丧；或者，正如犹他州参议员奥林·哈奇（Orrin Hatch）所说，学校没有祈祷。我认为值得注意的是，这些暴力事件都涉及性别歧视和恐同诽谤。如果有的话，社会研究教育者应该考虑如何应对这些问题？我在这里的目的并不是试图理解在某种程度上难以理解的事情。但作为一名长期对性别和学校教育问题感兴趣的教育者，我看到了全国范围内青少年暴力盛行背后隐藏着令人不安的文化模式。上述例子以及肯塔基州帕迪尤卡、阿肯色州琼斯伯勒和俄勒冈州斯普林菲尔德的校园枪击事件让我印象深刻的是塑造这些事件的性别、厌女症、同性恋恐惧症和暴力的框架。厌女症是指对被视为女性化的女性或男性的恐惧和仇恨。同形异型
THE GANG RAPE OF A RETARDED GIRL by football players in Glen Ridge, New Jersey; the murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard in Wyoming; and the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado-isolated occurrences by "deranged" or "evil" perpetrators? or symptoms of deeper social issues? Each of these tragedies has been "explained" in a variety of ways: easy access to firearms; distracted parents and broken families; the Internet and its dangers for troubled adolescents; a national decline in morality; or, as Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah suggests, the absence of school prayer. It is noteworthy, I believe, that sexist and homophobic slurs have been implicated in each of these violent incidents. What, if any, response to these problems should social studies educators consider? It is not my intention here to try to make sense of what is, at some level, incomprehensible. But as an educator with long-standing interest in issues of gender and schooling, I see disturbing cultural patterns lying behind this national epidemic of teenage violence. What strikes me about the examples above-as well as the school shootings in Paducah, Kentucky, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Springfield, Oregon-is the framework of gender, misogyny, homophobia, and violence that shapes these events. Misogyny is the fear and hatred of women or men perceived as effeminate; homopho-
