A recent U. S. study claims that in areas where there are fewer single men, women are more career focused because there are less options for marrying. Increasingly, women have been delaying starting a family in order to nurture their careers. But a recent study asks if this phenomenon might just be on account of a lack of marriageable men.
The study, published in the journal of Personality and Social Psychology, looks at the ratios of single men versus single women in various U. S. states and on college campuses. When stores of single men are low, or are perceived to be low, women showed higher levels of motivation to pursue high-paying careers.
The researchers conclude that it’s not necessarily ambition that drives a woman to single-mind-edly pursue her career—it’s merely because there isn’t a potential husband in sight.
The researchers also note that women who perceive themselves to be less desirable as mates— "those women who are not like Angelina Jolie", as Durante, a professor from the University of Minnesota, puts it, are more likely to immerse themselves in their careers.
What do you think? Are careers merely a fall-back option for women who aren’t able to marry and have children right away?
Comment 1 :
For all women, is a career just something to pass the time and fill lonely, otherwise meaningless hours? What about lesbians(女同性恋者) and women who are not particularly interested in marrying or ever having children?
Comment 2:
I think this article is offensive, that’s what I think. What if I published an article saying women delay getting married because most men are jerks? What do you say?
Comment 3:
But the issue is not that simple. If less single men are available as husbands, there will be more single women who need to get on with their lives. At the same time not all single women want to put up with husbands and they do not have to do so if they don’t want to.
Comment 4 :
Universities and colleges have spent the last 25 years trying to shut men out and make higher education female friendly through affirmative action programs. Well, they got what they wanted and now most universities have 60% to 70% women. Obviously, it will be more difficult for women to find male marriage.
Comment 5:
What if I told you the truth and said most women are now either lesbians, feminists, complaining , insane, or all around just not worth committing to? Back in my day when I got married it was worth getting married. Nowadays, why get stuck to one woman who isn’t worth?
According to the writer of Comment 5, nowadays women________.
选项
A、are too modern
B、are less traditional
C、are reluctant to get married
D、are all crazy
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据评论5可知,现在大部分女性要么是同性恋,要么是女权主义者,要么就一天到晚抱怨,要么神经不正常。反正都是不值得与其相伴终身的。这说明女性更加开放,与传统女性相比有很大的改变,所以是less traditional,故选B。
