训练7 情感态度

A(导学号59430066)

When I asked my mother－in－law to select which meals she'd like me to order from the home－delivery menu，she only chose the ones her husband would like.This goes way beyond politeness.She is actually feeling uncomfortable voicing what she wants.She developed the main symptom of Asker's Syndrome that one's unable to ask for what one wants.

It's not just older women who have this problem.Asker's Syndrome can strike the young.I have single friends who won't ask a man out on a date because they fear being considered “too forward”．My five－year－old daughter Violet is showing the early stages of Asker's Syndrome.She's learned that women don't ask，but rather drop hints.She'll say，“Remember last Sunday afternoon we went to the park？” rather than “Can we go to the park？”

Apart from women and girls' problematic relationship with appetite，food and dating，it's widely reported that women are less likely than men to ask for pay rises and promotions.Instead，they withdraw，hoping that somebody else will decide they are worthy and make them promoted.

No doubt，many women develop Asker's Syndrome as a defensive measure because they've been labeled as pushy or rude for simply asking for what they want.But in the long term，choosing not to express our desires doesn't serve us well.

It's time to cure ourselves and our girls of Asker's Syndrome.I don't want to raise a future “mother” who denies her wish for food，power and success and anything else.So I now insist that my daughter ask for what she wants directly.

For women in our culture，asking is a skill that we need to learn and practice.And if we all do it，then women asking will become the norm rather than the exception.
