Why Men Are Becoming More Like Women来源： 作者：kira86In its recent special on the state of American women, Time magazine announced that the gender wars were over and declared a tie. Its no longer a mans world, Time concluded. Nor is it a womans nation. Its a cooperative 、koprtv n. 合作社，联合体；, with bylaws under constant negotiation 、nge()n n. 协商，谈判；转让；通过； and expectations that profits be equally shared. Im not so sure. In a war, no matter the outcome of a certain skirmish 、skm n. 小规模战斗；小争论；小冲突； or battle, the winner is the party whose attitudes, behaviors and preoccupations 、pr,kjpe()n n. 全神贯注（ preoccupation的名词复数 ）；入神；当务之急；使人全神贯注的事物； come to dominate the postwar landscape. By this measure, the outcome of the gender wars, if wars they were, is clear: Women won.Mens attitudes more and more resemble 、rzemb()l vt. 与相像，类似于； womens attitudes. In 1977, for example, 72 percent of men believed men should be the primary breadwinners 、bredwn n. 养家糊口的人（ breadwinner的名词复数 ）； and women should be the primary caretakers 、ketek n. 看管者；看门人；守护者； of home and family. Today, only 42 percent of men hold those opinions,which happens to be almost exactly the same as the percentage of women who feel that way (38 percent). Mens behaviors are becoming more and more like womens. In 1977, men spent, on average, only six hours a week doing housework, as compared to 21 hours for women. Today, when it comes to the second shift, men look a lot like womenmen now spend 13 hours a week on housework, while women spend 17. Similarly, 40 years ago, the average Don Draper spent only two hours a day caring for his kids, while the average Betty devoted almost twice that much time to her kids3.8 hours per day. Today, Bettys kid time is exactly the same, while Dons has climbed to three hours per day. Gen Y dads have taken it up a notch 、nt n. 刻痕，凹口；等级；峡谷；. They now spend more than four hours a day on childcare. To know a culture, look to its heroes, goes the saying, and here, too, we see change and new models of leadership. Gone are the macho monarchsJack Neutron Welch, George The Decider Bush, Michael Micromanager Eisner and Carly The Fighter Fiorina (not all male models are masculine 、mskjln n. 男性；阳性，阳性词；). In their place, we now honor a new style of leader, no less visionary 、v()n()r adj. 梦想的；幻影的；, but more pragmatic 、prgmtk adj. 实际的；实用主义的；国事的；, more conciliatory 、knsltr adj. 安抚的；调和的；调停的；, building consensus 、knsenss n. 一致；舆论；合意； as they quietly get things donein the Oval Office, Black Obama; at Hewlett Packard, Mark Hurd; at Disney HQ, Bob Eiger; and at the Welch mansion, the softer, friendlier hybrid 、habrd n. 杂种，混血儿；混合物；, JackandSuzy. Even our entertainment heroes have lost their masculine muscle. Arnold, Bruce and Stallone are long gone from the screen, but even the flirty, flaky, funny adolescentsTom, Brad, Jim, and Willno longer charm us quite as much as they once did. Instead, our leading men are the likes of Zac Efron who, though he can still Michael Jordan it on the court, now has to sing and dance charmingly to earn our affection. Or the dangerous but effete and oh-so-delicate Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame. Or the gender-bending, pirate-styling and pretty Johnny Depp. Even James Bond has found his feminine、femnn adj. 女性的；妇女（似）的；阴性的；娇柔的； sideall he wants is a quantum 、kwntm n. 量子论；额； of solace 、sls n. 安慰；慰藉；安慰之物；, crushed as he is at the thought that the one he loved, really truly loved, betrayed him. The war is over. Women won. And, as ever, to the victor go the spoils 、splz n. 战利品（spoil的复数）；赃物；.And what are the spoils of this particular war? The spoils are choices. Women have more choices than ever before in their work, home and lifestyles. And yes, men are becoming more like women, and so men are starting to face the same multitude 、mlttjud n. 群众；多数； of choices that women tackle.Today, with many companies offering paternal、 ptn()l adj. 父亲的；得自父亲的；父亲般的； leave, men now have the choice to stay at home after the birth of their newbornwhich as any dad will tell you, is a wondrous 、wndrs adj. 奇妙的；令人惊奇的；非常的； gift. But they also have the choice to take advantage of this leave and stay at home wondering whether this absence will hurt their careers. Men have the choice to stay at home even longer and assume the chief caregiver rolethis happens in 40 percent of U.S. households, either through choice or circumstance (in 40 percent of U.S. households, the woman is the primary wage earner). But they have to face the fact that, in making this choice, their skills might become obsolete and their wages, when they re-enter the workforce, will wind up reflecting their out-of-date proficiency 、prf()ns n. 精通，熟练；. According to recent research, this kind of career interruption with its attendant 、tend()nt adj. 伴随的；侍候的； decline in relevant skills, rather than pure gender discrimination, accounts for almost all of the fabled 77 cents-on-the-dollar male/female wage gap. Men have the choice to arrange their schedules so they can pick up the kids from school twice a week. And they have the choice not to, and then to feel guilty about this choice. The choice-filled world that women have bestowed 、bst vt. 使用；授予；放置；留宿； on men is a tough world. Tough on women; even tougher on men. At least thats what the data reveal. In 1977, 41 percent of women reported feeling some level of work/life conflict, whereas only 35 percent of men did. Today, about the same percentage of women report work/life conflict, but 59 percent of men are now similarly torn. Or maybe its not tougher on men. Its just that men arent used to it, and so they feel it more. And so they complain more, as all novices 、nvis n. 新手，初学者（novice的复数形式）； do.The victors are leading men into a new world, a world devoid of narrow paths and clear finish lines, a world of broad expanses of choice and role, a world where you, not society, can decide your definitions of success and fulfillment 、flflmnt n. 履行；实行；. In its abundance, it is a wonderful world. It is also a world where, as women have found, if you possess a poor internal compass, you can wind up utterly 、tli adv. 完全地；绝对地；全然地；彻底地，十足地； lost. So wake up, men. Whatever women are feeling, you are now free to feel it too.为什么男人变的越来像女人来源： 作者：kira86在最近基于美国妇女的特殊状态，时代杂志宣称：性别战争已经结束了并且宣称是一个平局。 “它不再是一个男人的世界”，时代杂志总结道， “亦不是一个妇女的世界。 它是一个合作社，伴随着稳定的交涉和期望之下的法律，使得利益平等地分享。我不是那么的肯定。 在一个战争中，不论某一小冲突或争斗的结果如何，优胜者在态度、行为和成见上是操控战后风景的当事人。 由此而来，如果性别战争是战争，那么性别战争的结果是清楚的： 妇女赢取了。 男人的态度越来越类似妇女的态度。例如，1977年，72%的男人相信男人应该是养家糊口的主要人，并且妇女应该是住宅和家庭的主要看管者。 今天，仅有42%的男人持有那些观点，这恰恰与持同样想法的妇女百分数是那么的确切地相似(38%)。 男人的行为越来越成为像妇女的。1977年，男人每星期平均仅花费六个小时做家务劳动的，与做21个小时妇女的比较。 今天，当提到“第二次转变”，男人看起来更像女人，男人现在一周花费13个小时在家务劳动上，而妇女花费17小时。 同样，40年前，唐Draper平均一天只用了二小时照顾他的孩子，而贝蒂用了几乎两倍那么多的时间照顾她的孩子每天3.8小时，。 今天，贝蒂照顾孩子的时间依旧是那个确切地时间，而唐的时间上升到每天的三个小时。 Gen Y爸爸把它上升了一个档次。 他们在育儿上花费时间超过一天四小时。有一说法，“想知道一种文化，就看看它的英雄”。这里，同样，我们看领导者的变动和新的模型。 过去是强壮男子的国君杰克“中子”威尔士，乔治“决定者”布什，迈克尔“控制狂” Eisner和Carly “战斗者” Fiorina (不是所有的男性模型是男子气概的)。 在他们的地方，我们现在尊敬一种新式领导，没有较少有空想的，但更加注重实效的，更加有说服力的，营造公众舆论，正如他们私密下做的事，在椭圆形办公室，黑人奥巴马; 在惠普，Mark Hurd; 在迪斯尼HQ，Bob Eiger; 还有在威尔士豪宅，微软，友好的混血儿， JackandSuzy。 我们的娱乐英雄丢失了他们的男性肌肉。 阿诺德、布鲁斯和Stallone远离了荧幕，但即使古怪的，滑稽的青年，汤姆、曲头钉、吉姆，不再像曾经那样让我们是否着迷了。反而，我们领头人像Zac Efron那样，他仍然是场中的“迈克尔.乔丹”，但是现在他必须来唱歌和迷人跳舞赢得我们的喜爱。 或暮光之城月色中的Robert Pattinson中的危险，筋疲力尽，如此精美。 或性别弯曲，海盗称呼和俏丽的约Johnny Depp。 詹姆士邦德发现他所要的女性的一方面只是一定的安慰，但是一个他爱的，真正爱的一个人背叛他时，他的这个想法就破碎了。战争结束了。妇女赢了。并且，战胜者开始掠夺。 并且什么是这场特殊战争的伤害呢？ 伤害就是选择权。 妇女在他们的工作、家和生活方式上有更多选择权。并且当然，男人变得越来越像妇女，因此男人开始面对妇女应付的同样的许多选择。今天，当许多公司提供父亲事假，男人现在在他们家新成员的诞生之后有选择呆在家里的权力，因为所有爸爸将告诉你，这是一件奇妙的礼物。但他们也有选择利用这事假和呆在家想想这缺席是否将损害他们的事业。 男人有选择呆在家更长的时间并且假想这首要照料者角色，这发生在美国的40%家庭。 家庭，要么选择权要么境况(在美国的40%家庭，妇女是主要挣工资者)。 但他们必须面对事实，在做出这个选择，他们的技能也许成为过时和他们的薪水，当他们再进入劳工时，将反射他们过时专长。根据最近研究，这种事业中断伴随着它在相关的技能的衰落，而不是纯粹的性别歧视，由于这虚构的的77美分男性或女性薪水差距。 男人有选择的安排他们的日程表，因此他们可以一个星期两次从学校接回孩子。 并且他们有选择不那样，然后
