传统女性的身份规范及其现实可能——吕坤女性观探析

吕坤女性观的建构依托于其对女性身份的规范,即如何扮演好女性一生中女儿、妇人、母亲三类重要角色。就“为女之道”而言,吕坤强调对未嫁女“四德”的训诫,同时关注到了未嫁女在孝道的践行上可能面临的伦理困境;就“为妇之道”而言,吕坤强调以“礼”为规范的道义之爱,并塑造了多元的女性品质;就“为母之道”而言,吕坤认为母道之根基在于仁义与廉正,并强调“母不取其慈而取其教”。吕坤依据身份的书写对女性进行了规范与约束,同时也从道义、人情的角度给予了女性一定的空间,把女性之为“人”的类别属性置于其性别属性之前,从而让女性在特定的情境中有溢出身份规范的可能。

我国同妻生活质量研究综述

同妻作为男同性恋丈夫的衍生群体,其生活质量相关问题的研究和解决是现代多元化社会文明及和谐的体现。对我国同妻生活质量的有关研究加以梳理,研究发现:生理上,同妻面临着感染性病和艾滋病的风险;心理上,由于经历着无爱、少性的婚姻生活的煎熬,相当一部分人还遭受着家庭暴力,因而同妻抑郁、自杀等心理问题严重;社会层面,同妻的家庭功能残缺,且缺乏社会支持和法律支持。既有研究多基于现象描述,尚缺少实证分析。为进一步推进同妻生活质量的相关研究,应避免将同妻看作单一同质群体,可结合其婚姻与生育状况、经济独立等维度进行典型性探究,并揭示同妻亚群体生活质量的动态演变。
