Six members of the 2012 Harvard womens soccer recruiting class who were the
subjects of a sexually explicit scouting report circulated by the Harvard mens
soccer team are calling for unity.In a letter to The Harvard Crimson called
Stronger Together, Brooke Dickens, Kelsey Clayman, Alika Keene, Emily Mosbacher,
Lauren Varela and Haley Washburn wrote: As women of Harvard Soccer and of the
world, we want to take this experience as an opportunity to encourage our fellow
women to band together in combatting this type of behavior, because we are a
team and we are stronger when we are united.Their letter to the student
newspaper was in response to a 2012 document written by a member of the mens
team that rated the physical attractiveness of recruits on the womens team and
included photos and lewd comments about many of them. It was circulated online
among teammates. Officials at the Ivy Leaague school would not say whether they
are investigating to determine whether similar letters were circulated after
2012.ddddddddddddMore than anything, the women wrote in reply, we are frustrated
that this is a reality that all women have faced in the past and will continue
to face throughout their lives.University officials described the document as
offensive and unacceptable.The six women close their letter with a message to
the writers.To the men of Harvard Soccer and any future men who may lay claim to
our bodies and choose to objectify us as sexual objects, in the words of one of
us, we say together: I can offer you my forgiveness, which is -- and forever
will be -- the only part of me that you can ever claim as yours. Read their
entire letter here. ' ' '
