Choo noted obvious benefits for the ruling women like confidence, independence and healthy self-esteem. Qualities that are still often hard fought for in patriarchal societies.
朱伟鸿指出了女性处于统治地位时的明显好处,比如自信、独立和健康的自尊。在父权社会中,这些品质仍是难以争取的。
Perhaps more intriguing is not the differences, but similarities between the traditional gender roles in Mosuo culture and patriarchal societies. Women may hold the power, but they still do the majority of cooking and cleaning, while the men are tasked with the physical labor. There is evidence that boys help raise their younger siblings, but women remain the primary carers. Why women still assume the domestic duties even as head of the household is another mystery.
也许最有趣的不是传统性别角色在摩梭文化和父权社会中的差异,而是他们的相似之处。女性可能会掌权,但是她们仍然承担着大部分的做饭和清洁工作。而男性还是从事体力劳动。有证据表明,男孩们可以帮助抚养他们的弟弟妹妹,但女性仍是主要的抚养人。为什么女性已是一家之主了,却仍要承担家务?这就变成了另一个谜题。
Even with Choo's special insight, she does not pretend to have all the answers. Rather her account is important because it raises these questions about the Mosuos and, in turn, encourages us to scrutinize and challenge our own way of doing things and society's treatment of men and women.
