Today men are facing new expectations and new choices about their commitments to society, family, and work. No longer what goals they should pursue, much less how they should pursue them, many men have found themselves in a no-man’s land, searching for new meanings and definitions of maturity. In interviews I conducted with 138 men from diverse social and economic background. 36 percent defined their family and work commitments in terms of primary breadwinning, and 30 percent chose to eschew parenthood or to avoid involvement with children they had brought into the world.
However, about 33 percent had moved toward more rather than less family involvement over the course of their lives. These men develop an outlook on parenthood that included caretaking as well as economic support. They represent a growing group of fathers, most of whom arc married to work-committed women and have an egalitarian approach toward marriage and family commitments. Such men ,whom I call "involved fathers", are demonstrating a capacity, a willingness, and an enthusiasm for parenting not seen in their fathers’ and grandfathers’ generations.
An involved lather, however, is not necessarily an equal father. Though men’s domestic participation has increased in recent year, his involvement has not kept in pace with women’s rapidly rising commitment to paid employment. A persistent" housework gap" has left most women with more work and less leisure time than their male counterparts.
It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among men who support equality, their involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved toward a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema. One recent survey found that 73 percent of a group of randomly selected fathers agreed that "their families are the most important facet of their lives"; 87 percent agreed that "dad is as vital as mom in raising kids. "The cballenge is to create the social and cultural arrangements that would enable men to uphold these beliefs more easily.
Compared with his wife, an involved father______.
选项
A、share the equal part of the housework
B、has more responsibility to the family
C、takes up less of his time involving himself in family and parenthood
D、has done more housework
答案
C
解析
由题干定位到第三段第二、三句,意思是,虽然近年来男性参与了更多的家务,但其速度没有女性参加工作的速度快,也就是说在家务的分担方面,男女还有差距,女性比丈夫工作的量大,闲暇的时间少,因此选[C],同时排除[A]、[D]。[B]原文未提及。
