Glass ceiling: But most women do not believe that Britain is a sexist place, a poll has revealed. (dailymail.co.uk） |
|
It may come as a surprise to those who feel they’ve hit the glass ceiling or heard one too many blonde jokes. Most women do not believe that Britain is a sexist place, a poll has revealed. Fewer than four in ten say they have experienced derogatory remarks or behaviour because of their gender. And the majority of men and women think both sexes are equally capable of handling challenging and traditionally male tasks, such as making a safe emergency landing in an aeroplane. The results of the survey, carried out for a group of charities and pressure groups, suggest that most women are far more concerned with solving day-to-day practical problems in their lives than fighting a battle for equality. Nearly two-thirds of women say their biggest concern is balancing work and family life. Only one in 20 feels the greatest problem facing them is sexism at work – though three times as many men believe this is women’s major challenge. Only one in five women describes herself as a feminist – and three out of four say they definitely would not use the label. The poll was carried out to mark today’s International Women’s Day. It followed figures published to mark the same occasion by the Government’s Office for National Statistics, which showed that men and women now have an equal chance of making it to the top ranks of managers and officials in business and the public sector.

如果你覺得自己遭遇了“玻璃天花板”，或者經常聽到女性被譏諷為“胸大無腦”，下面的調查可能讓你很吃驚。 最新調查顯示，絕大多數英國女性認為英國已不存在性別歧視。 不到四分之一的受訪者表示，自己曾因性別歧視遭受冷嘲熱諷，或不公正對待。 不論男女，大多數受訪者認為男性和女性在應對挑戰、完成傳統上應由男性完成的任務時，能力相當，比如開飛機時安全迫降。 調查結果表明，大多數女性更關心如何解決生活中的實際問題，而不是為男女平等而抗爭。該調查是為幾家慈善機構和權益集團開展的。 近三分之二的女性受訪者表示，她們最大的擔憂是如何平衡工作和家庭生活。僅有百分之五認為最大的難題是工作中的性別歧視，但百分之十五的男性認為這是女性面臨的最大挑戰。 僅有五分之一的女性自稱為女權主義者。四分之三的受訪者稱自己絕不屬于此類。該調查是為紀念今天的“國際勞動婦女節”而開展的。 英國國家統計局政府辦公室此前公布的數據也印證了這一結論。該統計數據顯示，無論是在公務還是私營機構，男性和女性都有同樣的機會晉升高管或官員。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 Julie 編輯：馮明惠）
