  本論文係由女性主義之角度反思我國刑法第221條違背意願性交罪之立法是否妥適。隨著女性主義浪潮興起,婦女運動勃興,女性主義法學對現行法律中造成性別不平等的現象提出了批評和改革方向。從而,本文將聚焦於女性主義對於強暴議題的論述,包括從性的角度如何看待權力關係,以及女性主義興起的運動所帶來的強暴法律改革,尤其是帶來妨害性自主罪章重大修正的1999年修法。
  1999年的刑法修正將性犯罪從保護善良風俗法益轉移到保護個人的性自主,但是性自主的概念究竟為何?本文嘗試透過社會建構論的消極自由、性整全概念和性主體與客體化描繪出一個比較清晰具體的性自主概念,本文認為性與其他一般行動自由的不同之處正是在於對主體的貶抑性程度。
  然而即使法律修正成違背意願模式,現實上仍因為強暴迷思的存在,造成約會強暴、熟識者性侵等案例無法被刑法所處理,故而各國紛紛開始有是否要修正性自主罪章的聲音。女性主義對於強暴立法模式提出了強制模式、消極同意模式、積極同意模式、強制情境模式四種立法模式,比較法上,日本、德國、加拿大三國對於四種模式的回應與修法歷程值得我們作為參考借鏡。
  最後,本文嘗試從女性主義的觀點提出對於我國刑法第221條的解釋論和立法論,解釋論上希望透過同意概念的客觀化以及行為人壓迫性自主的手段作為解釋路徑;立法論上則是希望以壓迫性自主的程度區別強制性交罪與違背意願性交罪,以期在性和權力層層桎梏的網絡中為女性找到掙開的可能。

 

English Abstract

 

     This thesis aims reflects on the appropriateness of Article 221 of Taiwan Criminal Code from a feminist perspective. Over the past few decades, the rise of feminism along with the prosperity of feminist movement have given rise to critiques against gender biases in existing laws as well as suggestions of reform approaches to those biases. Accordingly, this thesis will start with the feminist discourses on rape issues, including how power relations are understood from a gendered lens, as well as rape law reforms triggered by the rise of feminist movement. Moreover, this thesis will look into the significant amendment of Sexual Offenses Chapter of Taiwan Criminal Code in 1999.
     The amendment of Criminal Code in 1999 has shifted the legal interest of Sexual Offenses Chapter from protecting public morality to safeguarding individual sexual autonomy. Nevertheless, what exactly is the definition of sexual autonomy? This thesis tries to depict a more concrete and vivid definition of sexual autonomy based on the concept derived from social constructivism such as negative freedom, sexual integrity, sexual subjectivity and objectification. Meanwhile, this thesis argues that the difference between the freedom of sex and that of other general actions lies in the degree of autonomy repression.
     Even though the existing law views the violation of will as an element of sexual offenses; in reality, rape myths still leave the cases such as date rape unsolved by Criminal Law. Therefore, feminists around the world propose four different legislative models, which are force, non-consent, affirmative consent and coercive circumstances, to answer the needs of amending sexual offense law. Among these different approaches, the amendment based on these various models processing in Japan, Germany and Canada are worthy of references.
     Finally, this thesis attempts to provide feminist interpretation and legislative suggestion for Article 221 of Taiwan Criminal Code. For one thing, the argument for interpretation is based on the objectification of consent, and the means adopted by the person to repress sexual autonomy. For another, the legislative suggestion targets at differentiating sexual offenses through forcible means and those against the will of the victims with an anticipation to find a path that will free women from the shackles composed by the struggle between gender and power. To conclude, may the interpretation and suggestion allow women to find a way out of the oppression intertwined with sex and power.
