性别刻板定型与“文化陷阱”

Gender Stereotypes and "Cultural Traps"

性别刻板定型是文化观念的一种表现形式,是极少为人意识到的文化陷阱,中国已经签署的《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》,将性别刻板定型列为隐性的性别歧视,认识其本质特点,厘清其与性别差异、个体差异的关系,进行文化上和制度上的重构,应当是中国推进性别平等的一项重要内容。

Gender stereotypes are a type of cultural representations that are seldom recognized by people as cultural traps. The Chinese government has signed on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and should accordingly determine that gender stereotypes are covert gender-based discrimination. Recognizing the nature of gender stereotypes and the relationships between gender differences and individual differences should be an important component of the cause of promoting gender equality through cultural and institutional restructuring.
