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 status, "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 he was doing there and if something was wrong with him.
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, "couldn’t quite believe that I could and would type, take dictation, and answer the phones."
Males sometimes found themselves mistaken for higher status professionals. Anthony Shee, a flight attendant with U.S. Air Inc., has been mistaken 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 traditional 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.
June O’Neill’s words tell us that______.
选项
A、young men look different nowadays
B、young women keep their jobs even though the pay is lower
C、young men have less rigid ideas about male or female work than their parents
D、parents have less rigid ideas about female work than their children
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的June O’Neill将本题出处定位于第二段。该段提到,June O’Neill说较为年轻的男性对于男性工作或女性工作没有那么固执的看法,由此可推断答案为[C],即与其父母相比,年轻男性对男性或女性工作的看法没那么固执,同时排除[D]。[A]是对The outlooks of young people are different的错误理解,outlook在文中指的是观点而非外表。[B]在文中未提及。
