13、from Women in Many Ways Traditionally, men and women were seen as opposite poles of a magnet. Men were strong, women were weak; men were the breadwinners, women were the homemakers; men were rational, women were emotional. In accordance with these beliefs, men fi lled the leadership positions in soc

14、iety, as well as the majority of positions that required courage, clear-thinking and intellect. Women took on the nurturing, caring or supportive jobs such as nurse, teacher, assistant. However, modern society has greatly challenged these perceived differences between men and women.These daysgender

15、roles are becoming less clear. Women are moving into the male-dominated occupations and proving that they can be equally successful in these fields. Moreover, some men are taking on the homemaker role and finding that it suits them. In some cultures, for example the Naxi culture of southwestern Chin

16、a, women have always been the head of the household and responsible for both work and finance. So, are men and women really all that different?

20、人和女人的心理世界的。本質(zhì)上，男人更有可能發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭，以保衛(wèi)他們的群體，有時他們會以一種非常冒險的和自我犧牲的方式來這樣做。攻擊其他群體意味著有機(jī)會補(bǔ)償這些損失，并且可以有機(jī)會得到配偶、領(lǐng)土、 資源和地位的提升。與此同時，女人生活在外來侵略者性脅迫的威脅下，對自己的同伙往往容易表現(xiàn)出“照顧和結(jié)友”的反應(yīng)，而保持一種對陌生人的恐懼以保護(hù)她們自己和后代。18: Answer: 1,2, 4 and 5 are generalizations.
