There’s a huge hoo-ha in America about an article published on the business website Forbes.com. It starts off like this: "Guys: a word of advice. Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Just, whatever you do, don’t marry a woman with a career." The writer, Michael Noer cites a piece in Social Forces, a US research journal that has apparently found marrying a working woman dramatically ups the risk of having a difficult marriage. Even those with a "feminist" outlook are happier when their husband is the primary breadwinner.
You can imagine the
outcry
the article has caused. Women readers aren’t happy. What is interesting about all of this is that I suspect Noer’s central point—that working women are trouble and that you’re better off with an obedient little breeder or, indeed, a trophy wife—is more widely held by men than you or I might imagine.
It stems in part from a sweet but inane desire for first class malehood—me man, me provide, me gain big-eyed gratitude for ace wage-earning skills—and from chronic sexual insecurity. If your nice little wife is safely at home all day, instead of running around the boardroom with men who might be somewhat much better than you, she’s more likely to admire your manly skills and talents when you come home at night, and not realize what she’s missing.
That’s the theory, anyway. The practice, I have observed over the years, is somewhat different. Men love nothing more than coming home to an ordered house, sleeping children, dinner in the oven and a cocktail waiting on the table, but they don’t necessarily go a whole hog on the conversation that goes with it: "Such a funny thing happened at playgroup"; "I’ve found that if I puree the broccoli, they don’t really notice they’re eating it". And so on. Then women are all surprised when men seem not to listen, or to be distracted.
She doesn’t want to talk about broccoli either but her brain seems to be withering more and more with the birth of each child. She wants to watch Newsnight but she’s too tired. How can she be tired, the husband wonders, when she’s at home all day? What does she do? I don’t want to get drawn into the unproductive name calling that passes for debate on the question of working versus stay-at-home women. The point, surely, is that women should have the freedom to do exactly what they wish to do with their lives, and that very freedom is only real if it originates from women themselves. Marry a man who is happy for you to be you, happy whether you do or don’t work.
In Michael Noer’s view, marrying a career woman is risky because
选项
A、career women will usually get unhappy.
B、career women are feminists and demanding.
C、it’s more likely to lead to an unhappy marriage.
D、the marriage is bound to be difficult.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。考查因果细节,根据Michael Noer定位到第一段。其中讲到男人娶职业女性,婚姻出现问题的可能性更大,故C项与之相符。
