单词 | 性别政治 |
释义 | 〔gender〕Traditionally,gender has been used primarily to refer to the grammatical categories of "masculine,” "feminine,” and "neuter"; but in recent years the word has become well established in its use to refer to sex-based categories,as in phrases such asgender gap and the politics of gender. This usage is supported by the practice of many anthropologists,who reservesex for reference to biological categories, while usinggender to refer to social or cultural categories. According to this rule,one would sayThe effectiveness of the medication appears to depend on the sex (not gender ) of the patient, butIn peasant societies, gender (not sex ) roles are likely to be more clearly defined. This distinction is useful in principle,but it is by no means widely observed,and considerable variation in usage occurs at all levels.传统地,gender 已被主要用来指“阳性”、“阴性”和“中性”的语法类别, 自近年来,这个单词已被人们普遍接受为指基于性别区分的类别,例如在词组性别差异 和 性别政治 中, 这种用法被许多人类学家所支持,他们把sex 局限为生物类别, 而用gender 来指社会和文化方面的类别。 根据这种规则,我们应该说医疗的有效性似乎取决于 (而不是 gender ) 病人的性别, 但是在农业国家中,性别的 (不是 sex ) 角色易于有更清楚的定义。 这种区分在原则上是有用的,但无法被人们广泛注意,而且大量变体出现于在不同水平的用法中 |
