汉字中的性别歧视

读了一篇《经济学人》文章，讲到中文，特别是汉字中显现出的gender bias（性别偏见）。

作者提到，在很多欧洲的语言中，比如：法语、西班牙语，都含有性别的偏见，而中文（普通话）Yet Mandarin—spoken by 70% of Chinese people—has gender bias, too. 例如：人们把female bosses成为“女老板”，而说male bosses时，就不会专门去加上“男性”这两个字。

中文的一些汉字也包含性别的负面刻板印象（some of its written characters ascribe negative stereotypes to women）。

汉字是由两部分组成的（Chinese characters are made up of **aller components, called radicals（部首）, that come in two forms. Phonetic radicals give clues about a character’s pronunciation; semantic ones give clues about its meaning.） For example, the radical for “speech” (讠) is semantic and is found on the left side of characters associated with speech: “language” (语), “words” (话), “to request” (请), “to chat” (谈), “to thank” (谢) and so on.

Chinese dictionaries are often sorted by radical, so these characters are listed together. Similarly, the Chinese radical for “woman” (女) is found in the characters for “mother” (妈), “sister” (姐), and “aunt” (姑).

但是“女字旁”会在一些负面意思的字中出现：But the “woman” radical is also found in the characters and words for “jealousy” (妒), “suspicion” (嫌), “slave” (奴隶), “devil” (妖) and “rape” (**). 虽然“女字旁”也会出现在一些积极语义的汉字（如：好，安）中，但是仍存有偏见。“好”字左边是女字旁，右边是“子”，显示出“母以子贵”的传统偏见。而“安”表现出女人需要在屋顶之下才能获得安全。相比较而言，“男”字则是由“田”（field）和“力”（power）组成的 。这都是中国文化中推崇的元素。

中文中也总是把“男”置于“女”之前。比如：parents（父母，father and mother，父在前）。甚至“男女平等”（gender equality）都是先说男，后说女。（Most ironically, as one linguist has noted, the phrase for “gender equality” 男女平等 puts the male character before the female one.）

你对这个说法怎么看？你认为这算是一种文化中的gender bias吗？

Gender Equality

【1】

So many people put their energy and time into fighting for gender equality for hurderds of years.All they want is women can have the same rights as men,they can get the same pay as men if they do the same job,they can vote and be voted,they can go to school and be educated. And now, as an opened society that we live,we almost win. Women are playing a vital role in our life.

But some people set out a tough question, should Uni accept the same number of boys and girls,no matter what the subject is?I could not understand this assumtion. To the large extent I disagree.

The first thing we should make clear is,what is equality? It means the same human dignity, not the radiclous the same in every tiny field.

Man have its advantages.They are more powerful, strength, rational and subjective which make they more suitable to aports, research,theconolgy or other aspects that need power and cool brain.Meanwhile, women seems more expert in motional thinking,desigen,painting,nursing. This is the talent that God gifted us.All we shoule do is to use it adequately.

Like different subjects.It is admitted that different people have different ideal major, and different major also has different suitable students. How can you imagine, if a lot of girls work as a oilperson when numbers of boys serve pregnant women? Weired. But this is not the evidence that Uni has the unfair supply, on the contrary, it is the strong phenomenon of equality. Everybody has the same right to choose whatever they want to learn.

So, do not focus our eyes on the unrealistic issues.Just respect every person, love human beings,it is the core of equal itself.

在这个存在着性别歧视，讲究男尊女卑的社会，为了实现自身的价值，女人必须比男人付出多一倍甚至是几倍的努力。而为了证实自己不是弱者，女人首先要有自信，假如自己都看不起自己，就别指望赢得别人的尊重和信任。作为二十一世纪电力事业的生力军，同时也是新时代的女性，我们要向世人证实：女人不是弱者！电力企业的工作是赋有挑战性的，对男同志尚且如此，女同志背负着事业和家庭的双重压力，要想成为新时代职场女性，需要付出的努力是常人无法想象的。但是我们不怕，我们不再是只会依附在男人身上，要靠男人才能活下去的传统女人。我们是独立的女人，坚强、干练是我们的代名词。我们坚信，女人自己就是一个会发光发热的太阳。我们要在广阔的天地中走出属于女人自己的路，坦然地接受生活所赋予的一切。

我们作为新时代的职场女性，要大声地向世界公布：“我们不是弱者，我们是这个世界的主人！”的确，社会由男女共同组成，两者相辅相成，缺一不可。作为女性同胞的我们，要勇敢地担负起事业和家庭的重担，散发出自己的魅力，从观念上改变整个社会对女人不公正的看法，证实女人不仅是半边天，甚至胜过半边天！相信总有一天，男女会真正平等，女人会在广阔的天地中打拼出属于自己的一片天空。

In this there is gender discrimination, men pay attention to the community, in order to realize the value of their own, women than men have to pay double or even several times. In order to confirm that they are not weak, the first woman to have self-confidence, if all look down on their own, they do not expect other people to win the respect and trust. As the twenty-first century the cause of the power of the new force, is also a new era of women, we have to confirm to the world: women are not weak! Power companies are given challenging work, like this gay, le**ian carries career and family The dual pressures, in order to become a new era of women in the workplace, the need for efforts to ordinary people is unimaginable. But we are not afraid, we will no longer be dependent on men, men can rely on to live a traditional woman. We are an independent woman, strong, we are able synonym. We firmly believe that women themselves will be a light-emitting heat of the sun. We need to scope out a woman belonging to its own way, frankly accept life conferred by all.

As a new era of women's work, it is necessary to loudly announce to the world: "We are not weak, we are the masters of this world!" It is true that men and women from the community together, hand in hand, are indispensable. As a female compatriots, we should courageously take up the cause and the burden of the family, and distributed its own charm, from concept to change the entire social injustice on women's views, not only confirmed that women hold up half is even better than half the sky! Believe that there are always One day, men and women will be truly equal, women in the broader world out hard in their own piece of the sky.
