A、Sex prejudice on women. B、Women’s social role. C、Women’s social position. D、Women’s position in job market. A

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 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. 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 thus appropriate for women not men to be employed as nurses, social workers and elementary school teachers. 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. Thus women must make the most of their physical appearance whether at home or in the labor force. 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.
