Ladys First
For a long period before the 1960s, women were considered to be the weaker sex,just as Shakespeare said inHamlet:“Frailty, thy name is women.”In contrast, men were regarded the stronger and the dominant sex.In this light man should undertake the duty to adopt a protective attitude toward the so-called weaker sex.This implied that men should help women on and off with their coats, light their cigarettes,open the doors for them to get on and off the wagon, train, bus, etc. Or to enter the houses.
Have you ever seen the movie “Titanic”? Well, when the ship was sinking,it was the women who had the right to get on the lifeboats first,just because men had the responsibility for taking care of and protectingwomen!This could lead to the conclusion that the custom “Lady First” was developed out of respect in appearance,but in fact it was kind of looking down upon women in nature.
In the 1960s, women began to challenge this tradition. Just as one lady put it,“Historically, men should walk on the outside of the pavement so as to prevent the lady’s dress from being spoilt by mud splashed by a carriage. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside side.A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman.If out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows,he should walk on the inside, because that’s where muggers are hiding these days.”This shows that to treat a woman as inferior justbecause she is a female is not only insulting but also out of step with contemporary American culture.Women may go to the restaurants Dutch treat.They may refuse such words as chairman, businessmen, policeman.Instead they prefer chairperson, businessperson, police or cop just to show that they are equal in every respect with males!
20世紀(jì)60年代之前的很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間里，人們把女性看成是弱者，就像莎士比亞在哈姆雷特中所說：“女性是弱者。”相反，人們把男性看成是強(qiáng)勢(shì)的一方。從這一點(diǎn)看，男性應(yīng)該肩負(fù)起保護(hù)弱者的責(zé)任。這就意味著男性應(yīng)該幫助女性穿外套、脫外套、幫她們點(diǎn)煙、上下車時(shí)為她們開車門，或是進(jìn)入房間時(shí)。
你看過泰坦尼克號(hào)這部電影嗎?當(dāng)船在下沉?xí)r，都是女性先登山的救生艇，就是因?yàn)槟行杂斜Ｗo(hù)，照顧女性的責(zé)任。所以人們認(rèn)為“女士?jī)?yōu)先”這一習(xí)俗是出自禮貌，但是事實(shí)上這是歧視女性的表現(xiàn)。
20世紀(jì)60年代，女性開始挑戰(zhàn)這一傳統(tǒng)。就像一位女性所說的，“從歷史上來講，男性應(yīng)該走在人行道的外面，這樣可以防止女性的裙子遭到汽車濺出的泥點(diǎn)。當(dāng)今，男性也應(yīng)該走在外側(cè)。男性想在哪走就能夠在哪里走。女性也一樣。如果是出于愛和尊敬，那么他是想挨揍了，他應(yīng)該走里面，因?yàn)閾尳俜缸罱鼛滋煺恢倍阍诶锩妗?rdquo;人們總是看低女性，這不僅很侮辱人，還因?yàn)檫@與現(xiàn)代美國(guó)文化不一致。女性在餐館就餐應(yīng)該實(shí)行AA制。人們不會(huì)再說主席先生、商人、警察先生，人們會(huì)說主席、商人、警察，目的就是要做到平等。
