论许广平的性别平等意识

The Discussion on Xu Guangping’s Gender Equality Consciousness

基于敏锐的女性立场和女性意识,许广平一直关注着妇女的命运:她发现了专制制度和旧礼教下女性的低等地位;她看到了男权、夫权强化的结果是导致严重的性别不平等和社会资源过度集中在男性身上,导致女性在家庭生活、政治经济文化与社会领域的待遇低下和权利缺失。“五四”新文化运动以来,女性解放运动、现代化浪潮尤其是民国法律规定使得性别平等成为可能。她主张新女性不仅要与男权至上主义者和男权中心主义思想进行苦斗,更要争取进步男性、开明家庭、社会组织乃至政府力量的大力支持,只有如此才能真正实现男女性别平等。许广平的性别平等思想具有一定的前卫性、前瞻性和超越性。

Based on the keen female standpoint and female consciousness,Xu Guangping has been paying attention to the fate of women.She discovered the low status of women under the autocratic system and the old ethics.She also saw that the result of the strengthening of male rights and husbands’rights was that serious gender inequality and excessive social resources were concentrated in men,resulting in woman’s low treatment and lack of rights in family life,political,economy,culture and society.Since the May 4th New Culture Movement,the woman’s liberation movement,the wave of modernization,especially the laws of the Republic of China,have made gender equality possible.She advocated that new women must not only struggle with male supremacist and male-centred centralism,but also strive for the strong support from progressive men,enlightened families,social organizations and even government forces.Only in this way can gender equality be achieved.Xu Guangping’s gender equality thought is avant-garde,forward-looking and transcendence.
