Part Three: Writing Practice
“Differences Between Men and Women .”
Traditionally, men and women were seen as opposite poles of a magnet. Men were 学
strong, women were weak; men were the breadwinners, women were the homemakers; men were rational, women were emotional. In accordance with these beliefs, the men
filled the leadership positions in society, as well as the majority of positions that required courage, clear-thinking and intellect. Women took on the nurturing, caring or supportive 过
jobs such as nurse, teacher, assistant. However, modern society has greatly challenged these perceived differences between men and women.
These days gender roles are becoming less clear. Women are moving
into the male-dominated occupations and proving that they can be equally successful in these 程
fields. Moreover, some men are taking on the homemaker role and finding that it suits
them. In some cultures, for example the Naxi culture of southwestern China, the women have always been the head of the household and responsible for both work and finance.
So, are men and women really all that different? From the changing perspectives
towards this question, it would seem that socialization plays a
large role in defining masculinity and femininity in any given time period and in any given culture. In other words, perhaps men and women are not that different after all.
