ABSTRACT This study focuses on the persistence of gender inequality in Swedish forestry education. The many strategic documents stand in contrast to the experienced inequalities depicted in the forest sector’s #MeToo movement. Both #slutavverkat and the open letter, written by female students, describe harassment and sexist behaviour. Theories about the culture of silence and bystander behaviour – are used to analyse the continuation of the norms that make harassment possible. Through an analysis of focus groups and interviews, we identify mechanisms that allow for the continuation of gender inequality. It is shown that strong traditions and hierarchical relations between students have contributed to the continuation of the culture of masculine domination. This culture has been allowed to flourish in hidden arenas such as the student union and social media, often in the form of sexist jokes that have been tolerated. Leadership at different levels has formulated measures to promote gender equality, but at the same time has failed to hear and react sufficiently to discrimination. This has in turn contributed to women’s silence. #slutavverkat and the open letter have led to increased awareness, but remaining challenges include the barriers that prevent bystanders from acting in a more prosocial way.

瑞典林业教育中的持续规范和#MeToo 效应

摘要 本研究重点关注瑞典林业教育中性别不平等的持续存在。许多战略文件与林业部门#MeToo 运动中描述的不平等现象形成鲜明对比。#slutavverkat 和女学生写的公开信都描述了骚扰和性别歧视行为。关于沉默文化和旁观者行为的理论——用于分析使骚扰成为可能的规范的延续。通过对焦点小组和访谈的分析，我们确定了允许性别不平等继续存在的机制。结果表明，强大的传统和学生之间的等级关系有助于男性统治文化的延续。这种文化被允许在学生会和社交媒体等隐蔽场所蓬勃发展，通常以被容忍的性别歧视笑话的形式出现。各级领导制定了促进性别平等的措施，但同时未能充分听取和应对歧视。这反过来又促成了妇女的沉默。#slutavverkat 和公开信提高了认识，但仍然存在的挑战包括阻止旁观者以更亲社会的方式行事的障碍。
