The male/female gender binary dominates Western culture, yet it is far from universal. For example, in India you might encounter a "hijra"—a member of the third sex. They are considered neither man nor woman. Although many of them are physically male, traditionally they refer to themselves as female and dress appropriately. This third gender is referenced in the earliest available records from the Indian Subcontinent, and was an established presence in the Vedic culture. There is no equivalent of hijras in the contemporary Western conceptualization of gender.
The passage suggests which of the following about gender in Western culture?
选项
A、Most, if not all, members of modern Western civilization consider themselves either male or female.
B、Contemporary Western civilization does not believe in the concept of hijra.
C、The idea of male/female binary gender is not generally considered the norm of contemporary Western civilization.
答案
A,C
解析
The best answer is A and C. According to the passage, Westerners generally consider gender to be binary; that is either male or female. It can be inferred that they, therefore, consider themselves to be either male or female(choice A). Consequently, they do not consider the possibility of a third gender in contemporary society(choice C). The fact that hijra does not exist in Western contemporary culture does not suggest either belief or disbelief in the concept.
