"The Feminine Mistake"



“In her new book, boomer Leslie Bennetts warns younger women of the perils of dumping fulfilling careers. I agree, but why are women always told they're doing something wrong?

If female fear and self-doubt were ever eradicated, the publishing industry would collapse. Another day, another book or magazine article about how women can have better orgasms, more money, smarter kids; mix job and family, spirituality and ambition; be a feminist and a stripper. But no matter the issue, the premise is pretty much the same: We're doing something wrong.”

这个问题太复杂,以至于我一直没有想通答案。:-)
问题的核心是女性的双重身份:同时是个体的人和生殖主体。作为前者,男女是平等的。作为后者,女性必须要把握生殖过程的主动权。这个主动权是如此重要,以至于被几乎全部上交给生物本能(荷尔蒙,潜意识等等),个体几乎无能为力。所以我想,唯一的办法就是给女性最良好的教育(包括怎样manage men),然后怎样就是女性自己的选择了。81zi
