词语“女人的工作”的产生基于这样一种观念:在职场,除了某几种工作外,女人天生不如男性(更能胜任工作);而这几种工作的类别,准确地说,并没有随着时间的推移改变多少。据估计,上世纪末(此处应为作者笔误,应为上上个世纪4)有85%的文职工作是由男人做的,而他们的薪水是做同样工作的女性的两倍。这些男人将这份工作作为攀登职业生涯阶梯的第一步—从初级管理职位干起,最终成为白领。
As more women entered the workforce, the field began to shift. But female secretaries rarely made the jump from office peon to executive, and a "secretary" came to look like the smartly dressed girls we see on "Mad Men." Around the same time, teaching schoolchildren was also a male-dominated profession, until the work became "feminized" and men backed away, slowly, into the bushes.
随着更多的女性进入职场,这一领域开始发生了变化。但是女秘书很少能从办公室雇员一跃成为经理管理人员,也没有哪一位秘书能如我们在《广告狂人》(Mad Men)里所看到的、的那些女孩儿那样,衣着时髦得体。差不多同时,小学老师也是一个男性占主导的职业,直到这一工作变得“女性化”,男人们慢慢退出这一工作领域,最终从业者寥寥无几。
Lace used to be manly. And womanly. So long as you were upper-class.
