Two modes of argumentation have been used on behalf of women’s emancipation in Western societies. (46)
Arguments in what could be called the "relational" feminist tradition maintain the doctrine of "equality in difference", or equity as distinct from equality.
They contend that biological distinctions between the sexes result in a necessary sexual division of labor in the family and throughout society and that women’s procreative labor is currently undervalued by society, to the disadvantage of women. (47)
By contrast, the individualist feminist tradition emphasizes individual human rights and cerebrates women’s quest for personal autonomy, while downplaying the importance of gender roles and minimizing discussion of childbearing and its attendant responsibilities.
Before the late nineteenth century, these views coexisted within the feminist movement, often within the writings of the same individual. (48)
Between 1890 and 1920, however, relational feminism, which had been the dominant strain in feminist thought and which still predominates among European and non-Western feminists, lost ground in England and the United States.
Because the concept of individual rights was already well established in the Anglo-Saxon legal and political tradition, individualist feminism came to predominate in English speaking countries. At the same time, the goals of the two approaches began to seem increasingly irreconcilable. Individualist feminists began to advocate a totally gender-blind system with equal rights for all. (49)
Relational feminists, while agreeing that equal educational and economic opportunities outside the home should be available for all women, continued to emphasize women’s special contributions to society as homemakers and mothers.
They demanded special treatment for women, including protective legislation for women workers, state-sponsored maternity benefits, and paid compensation for housework.
Relational arguments have a major pitfall, because they underline women’s physiological and psychological distinctiveness, they are often appropriated by political adversaries and used to endorse male privilege. (50)
But the individualist approach, by attacking gender roles, denying the significance of physiological difference, and condemning existing familial institutions as hopelessly patriarchal, has often simply treated as irrelevant the family roles important to many women.
If the individualist framework, with its claim for women’s autonomy, could be harmonized with the family-oriented concerns of relational feminists, a more fruitful model for contemporary feminist politics could emerge.
Notes:
emancipation n. 解放。equity n. 公平。procreative 生育的。celebrate vt. 颂扬。quest n. 寻求。downplay vt. 贬低,低估。lose ground 退却,失利。maternity benefit 产妇津贴。pitfall n. 隐患。appropriate vt. 资用。adversary n. 敌手。endorse vt. 赞同。patriarchal 家长制的。
选项
答案
但是个人主义方法由于抨击性别角色,否定生理差别的重要性,谴责现存家庭体制是不可救药的家长制,因而常常把对许多妇女来说非常重要的家庭角色视为异端。
解析
treat...as...把…视为…,本句中the family roles是treat的宾语,important to many women是roles的后置定语,as irrelevant是宾语补语。
