Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex-- both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are "dependents".
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between "women’s work" and "men’s work" in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned. But to the degree people actually believe that geology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
According to the author, sex roles ______.
选项
A、are socially determined
B、are emotionally and physically determined
C、can only be determined by what education people take
D、are biologically and psychologically determined
答案
A
解析
细节题。问及从作者角度看,性别角色是由什么决定的。在第三段第五、六句作者表明自己的态度“当然不是两性间最基本的生理和心理差别要求各自在社会生活中扮演不同的角色,而有充足的证据表明性别角色在每个社会都是不同的,性别角色的不同很大程度上是后天习得的。”由此我们看出性别角色是由人的社会性决定的,因此A项是正确的。
