For one thing, tightness in the job market seems to have given men an additional incentive to take jobs where they can find them. Although female-dominated office and service jobs for the most part rank lower in pay and stores, "they’re still there," says June O’Neill, director of program and policy research at the institute. Traditionally male blue-collar jobs, meanwhile, "aren’t increasing at all."
At the same time, she says, "The outlooks of young people are different." Younger men with less rigid views on what constitutes male or female work "may not feel there’s such a stigma (耻辱) to work in a female-dominated field."
Although views have softened, men who cross the sexual segregation line in the job market may still face discrimination and ridicule. David Anderson, a 36-year-old former high school teacher, says he found secretarial work "a way out of teaching and into the business world." He had applied for work at 23 employment agencies for "management training jobs that didn’t exist," and he discovered that "the best skill I had was being able to type 70 words a minute."
He took a job as a secretary to the marketing director of a New York publishing company. But he says he could feel a lot of people wondering "what I was doing there and if something was wrong with me". Mr. Anderson’s boss was a woman. When she asked him to fetch coffee, he says, "the other secretaries’ eyebrows went up." Sales executives who came in to see his boss, he says, "I couldn’t quite believe that I could and would type, take dictation, and answer the phones."
Males sometimes find themselves mistaken for higher-status professionals. Anthony Shee, a flight attendant with US Air Inc., has been mistakes for a pilot. Mr. Anderson, the secretary, says he found himself being "treated in executive tones whenever I wore a suit."
In fact, the men in fractional female jobs often move up the ladder fast Mr. Anderson actually worked only seven months as a secretary. Then he got a higher-level, better-paying job as a placement counselor at an employment agency. "I got a lot of encouragement to advance," he says, "including job tips from male executives who couldn’t quite see me staying a secretary."
Experts say, for example, that while men make up only a small fraction of elementary school teachers, a disproportionate number of elementary principals are men Barbara Bergmann, an economist at the University of Maryland who has studied sex segregation at work, believes that’s partly because of sexism in the occupational structure" and partly because men have been raised to assert themselves and to assume responsibility. Men may also feel more compelled than women to advance, she suspects.
According to the passage, which statement is NOT line?
选项
A、Men have taken jobs in female-dominated careers because these jobs were available.
B、Physical labor jobs were not increasing.
C、Men have taken jobs in female-dominated careers because these jobs pay more.
D、Although the jobs in female-dominated careers pay lower, men still take them.
答案
C
解析
细节辨别题。文章第一段对于妇女所从事的职业有这样—句话:“Although female dominated…says June O’Neill…”从这句话我们可以看出妇女从事的职业,其薪水和社会地位都较低,尽管如此男人们仍然留在这个领域,而C项所说男人们从事妇女统治的职业是因为薪水较高明显与此不相符,因而符合题意,是本题的正确答案。
