In Japan, where career opportunities for women are few, where divorce can mean a life of hardship, and where most female names are still formed using a word for child, a woman’s independence has always come at a steep price.
Notions of women’s liberation have never taken root among Japanese women. But with scant open conflict, the push for separate burials is quietly becoming one of the country’s fastest growing social trends. In a recent survey by the TBS television network, 20 percent of the women who responded said they hoped to be buried separately from their husbands.
The funerary revolt comes as women here annoy at Japan’s slow pace in providing greater equality between the sexes. The law, for example, still makes it almost impossible for a woman to use her maiden name after marriage. Divorce rates are low by western standards, meanwhile, because achieving financial independence, or even obtaining a credit card in one’s own name, are insurmountable hurdles for many divorced women. Until recently, society enforced restrictions on women even in death. Under Japan’s complex burial customs, divorced or unmarried women were traditionally unwelcome in most graveyards, where plots are still passed down through the husband’s family and descendants must provide maintenance for burial sites or lose them.
"The woman who wanted to be buried alone couldn’t find a graveyard until about 10 years ago," said Haruyo Inoue, a sociologist of death and burial at Japan University. She said that graveyards that did not require descendants, in order to accommodate women, began appearing around 1990. Today, she said, that there are close to 400 of these cemeteries in Japan. That is just one sign of stirring among Japanese women, who are also pressing for the first time to change the law to be able to use their maiden names after marriage.
Although credit goes beyond any individual, many women cite Junko Mastubara, a popular writer on women’s issues, with igniting the trend to separate sex burials. Starting three years ago, Ms. Mastubara has built an association of nearly 600 women—some divorced, some unhappily married, and some determinedly single—who plan to share a common plot curbed out of an ordinary cemetery in the western suburb of Chofu.
According to the passage, which of the following statements about the funeral revolt in Japan is INCORRECT?
选项
A、It comes as the result of Japanese women’s dissatisfaction with Japan’s slow pace in providing greater sex equality.
B、More and more Japanese women choose the form of divorce to win the victory of funeral revolt.
C、Japan’s complex burial customs make it more difficult for Japanese women to be buried separately.
D、More and more Japanese women prefer to be buried separately from their husbands.
答案
B
解析
推理题 文章第三段提到了葬礼反抗的起因是女性对日本在提供更多的性别平等方面的缓慢步伐感到不满;并说到在日本复杂的葬礼习俗影响下,离婚的或是未结婚的女性在大多数墓地是不受欢迎的;还说到夫妻分开埋葬已经悄然成为日本发展最快的社会时尚。文章没有提到[B]“越来越多的女性把离婚作为争取胜利的手段”,故为正确答案。
