　　Ladys First

　　For a long period before the 1960s, women were considered to be the weaker sex,just as Shakespeare said inHamlet:“Frailty, thy name is women.”In contrast, men were regarded the stronger and the dominant sex.In this light man should undertake the duty to adopt a protective attitude toward the so-called weaker sex.This implied that men should help women on and off with their coats, light their cigarettes,open the doors for them to get on and off the wagon, train, bus, etc. Or to enter the houses.

　　Have you ever seen the movie “Titanic”? Well, when the ship was sinking,it was the women who had the right to get on the lifeboats first,just because men had the responsibility for taking care of and protectingwomen!This could lead to the conclusion that the custom “Lady First” was developed out of respect in appearance,but in fact it was kind of looking down upon women in nature.

　　In the 1960s, women began to challenge this tradition. Just as one lady put it,“Historically, men should walk on the outside of the pavement so as to prevent the lady’s dress from being spoilt by mud splashed by a carriage. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside side.A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman.If out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows,he should walk on the inside, because that’s where muggers are hiding these days.”This shows that to treat a woman as inferior justbecause she is a female is not only insulting but also out of step with contemporary American culture.Women may go to the restaurants Dutch treat.They may refuse such words as chairman, businessmen, policeman.Instead they prefer chairperson, businessperson, police or cop just to show that they are equal in every respect with males!

　　20世紀60年代之前的很長時間里，人們把女性看成是弱者，就像莎士比亞在哈姆雷特中所說：“女性是弱者。”相反，人們把男性看成是強勢的一方。從這一點看，男性應該肩負起保護弱者的責任。這就意味著男性應該幫助女性穿外套、脫外套、幫她們點煙、上下車時為她們開車門，或是進入房間時。

　　你看過泰坦尼克號這部電影嗎?當船在下沉時，都是女性先登山的救生艇，就是因為男性有保護，照顧女性的責任。所以人們認為“女士優(yōu)先”這一習俗是出自禮貌，但是事實上這是歧視女性的表現(xiàn)。

　　20世紀60年代，女性開始挑戰(zhàn)這一傳統(tǒng)。就像一位女性所說的，“從歷史上來講，男性應該走在人行道的外面，這樣可以防止女性的裙子遭到汽車濺出的泥點。當今，男性也應該走在外側。男性想在哪走就能夠在哪里走。女性也一樣。如果是出于愛和尊敬，那么他是想挨揍了，他應該走里面，因為搶劫犯最近幾天正一直躲在里面。”人們總是看低女性，這不僅很侮辱人，還因為這與現(xiàn)代美國文化不一致。女性在餐館就餐應該實行AA制。人們不會再說主席先生、商人、警察先生，人們會說主席、商人、警察，目的就是要做到平等。
