Two modes of argumentation have been used on behalf of women’s emancipation in Western societies. Arguments in what could be called the "relational" feminist tradition maintain the doctrine of "equality in difference," or equity as distinct for equality. They posit 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. By contrast, the individualist feminist tradi- tion emphasizes individual human rights and celebrates women’ s quest for personal autonomy, while downplaying the importance of gender roles and minimizing discussion of childbearing and its at- tendant responsibilities.
Before the late nineteenth century, these views coexisted within the feminist movement, often within the writings of the same individual. Between 1890 and 1920, however, relational feminism, which had been the dominant strain in feminist thought, and which still pre-dominates 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. Relational feminists, while agreeing that equal educational and economic opportunities outside the home should be available for all women, continued to em- phasize women’s special contributions to society as homemakers and mothers; they demanded special treatment 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 distinc- tiveness, they are often appropriated by political adversaries and used to endorse male privilege. 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.
The passage suggests that the author of the passage believes which of the following?
选项
A、The predominance of individualist feminism in English-speaking countries is a historical phenomenon, the causes of which have not yet been investigated.
B、The individualist and relational feminist views are irreconcilable, given their theoretical differences concerning the foundations of society.
C、A consensus concerning the direction of future feminist politics will probably soon emerge, given the awareness among feminists of the need for cooperation among women.
D、Political adversaries of feminism often misuse arguments predicated on differences between the sexes to argue that the existing social system should be maintained.
E、Relational feminism provides the best theoretical framework for contemporary feminist politics, but individualist feminism could contribute much toward refining and strengthening modern feminist thought.
答案
D
解析
文中提出以下哪点?A.前半句对,后半句:其原因未曾调查。文中L30—35已说出原因(即13题内容)。B.两思潮不调和是由于其对社会的基础看法差异。不符原文。原文指出,是对家庭地位以及生理差异的认识不同。C.“consensus”是原文作者最后的愿望,实现的可能性未提。D.正确。政治上反对女权的人经常滥用关于两性差异的主张来辩解现存社会体制应被保留。原文L52—57提到关系式主张的缺点时给出此现象。E.两思潮的不同作用。原文无。
