历史上南方少数民族妇女的性选择自由

Sex Freedom of Southern Minority Women in History

南方少数民族妇女,在婚前、婚后都不落夫家,并且在寡居期间均有着广泛的社交活动及性选择的自由。婚后这种自由虽然受到某种限制,但仍然基本上处于与男子平等的地位。此种历史文化现象,仅仅用“母系社会残余”来解释,至少是很不够的。文章运用历史资料和民族志材料,对此种现象进行了论述,进而探索两性在不同文化环境中的地位与行为差别。

Women of the southern minorities have extensive freedoms in social activities and sex, no mat-ter when they are married, after marriages, alone or in widowhood. Even though these freedoms are re-stricted to some extend, basically they enjoy an equal position as that of men. We can not explain this historical phenomena only with the theory of 'vestiges of matriarchal society'. Based on historical docu-ments and the annals of nationalities, this paper has discussed the phenomena to further understand the differences in social position and behavior of the two sexes under different cultures.
