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。

同直婚姻的法社会学研究——基于妇女权益保护的角度

中国社会对同性恋者包容度至今仍然较低,基于生育或掩盖真实性取向的考虑,不少同性恋者尤其是男同性恋者选择同直婚姻,建立一个表面看来正常的异性婚姻家庭。同直婚姻衍生一类弱势社会群体——同妻和同夫,相较同夫和同性恋丈夫,同妻境遇更为悲惨。当下解决同妻问题存在诸多障碍,在我国解决同妻问题可以通过三种路径:观念变革与社会支持、个人预防和自我调适、制度完善与制度保障,其中法制既是同妻权益保护的一个面向,也是同妻问题解决机制运行的制度保障。

论“同妻”群体的生存困境与权利保障

当人们开始关注同性恋者的权利时,另一个与同性恋者紧密相关的群体也开始呈现在人们的视野中——"同妻"(男同性恋的妻子)。同妻不仅面临着配偶权和健康权被损害的现实,而且还面临着立法空白和司法救济的缺失。保障同妻的权利,首先应该是完善立法和司法救济;其次是呼吁更多的社会力量对这一群体提供帮助和支持;当然,解决同妻问题最为根本的措施在于推动社会对同性恋者的宽容,尊重同性恋者的婚姻自主权。从这个意义上讲,"同妻"的维权之路漫长而艰难。

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。
