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 article, which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、Women are more assertive than men at work.
B、Men arc more assertive than women at work.
C、Men have traditionally been raised to assume more responsibility than women have.
D、Men feel mom compelled than women to advance.
答案
B
解析
是非辨别题。文章在最后一段这样说到:“…while men make up…are men.”产生这—现象的原因部分是因为男人们被选拔出来以表现自己并承担责任。由此可推断男人们并不擅长表现自己,必须要提供给予机会,而且Men may also feel more compelled than women to advance…因此B项陈述“在工作中男人比女人更自信”与此不符,但符合题意,应是本题的正确答案。
