性别歧视英文演讲

Sexism against femalesSexism against females in its extreme form is known as misogyny, which is derived from the Greek words for "hatred of females". The term 'sexism', in common usage, usually implies sexism against females, since this is the most commonly identified form of sexism. Further, this form is often called chauvinism, though chauvinism is actually a broader term for any extreme and unreasonable partisanship that is accompanied by malice and hatred towards a rival group. A similar term is gynophobia, which refers to fears of females or feminity.Historically, in many patriarchal societies, females have been and are viewed as the "weaker sex". Women's lower status can be seen in cases in which females were not even recognized as persons under the law of the land. The feminist movement promotes women's rights to end sexism against females by addressing issues such as equality under the law, political representation of females, access to education and employment, female victims of domestic violence, self-ownership of the female body, and the impact of pornography on women. While feminists broadly agree on the aims and goals of feminism, they may disagree on specific issues (for instance, pornography or abortion), tactics, or priorities.The history of sexism began thousands of years ago. When the idea of patriarchy was born, women were relegated to the background, to doing domestic cares and household chores. Before the influential years, Christianity was affected by ancient dualistic beliefs originating in Persia. According to these dualistic beliefs, spirit was good and matter was evil. Eventually, this matter that was considered evil became identified with women. Touching this matter, according to the Gnostics, was defiling, and this became known as the defiling contact with women. Genesis and Aristotle had implied this idea as well. Women were seen as being created by the evil Demiurge, as matter was seen as being created by the evil Auhra-Mazda. The idea of women being evil was symbolized in many ways: for example, paradise or the garden (shal) was originally known as the garden-womb of the Goddess Mari (Shalimar) but it then became known as shell, “the pit,” which is an unpleasant hell or underworld. This womb-garden transformed into the womb-tomb; the idea of the womb being good became bad and “the pit” and its carrier became bad as well. This idea made women’s sensualness evolve into a paradigm of evil. Tertullian, a Catholic theologian who converted to Christianity and his writings influenced early Christianity, had said that woman were “the devil’s gate.” This idea of women eventually symbolized incompleteness and women were then known as the imperfect male, as it is identified in Christian tradition. The following passage from Otto Weininger’s Sex and Character reveals how women were seen in the past:Women have no existence and no essence: they are not, they are nothing. Mankind occurs as male or female, as something or nothing. Woman has no share in ontological reality, no relation to the thing-in-itself, which, in the deepest interpretation, is the absolute, is God. Man, in his highest form, the genius, has such a relation, and for him the absolute is either the conception of the higher worth of existence, in which case he is a philosopher; or it is the wonderful fairyland of dreams, the kingdom of absolute beauty, and then he is an artist. But both views mean the same. Women has no relation to the idea, she neither affirms nor denies it; she is neither moral nor anti-moral; mathematically speaking she has no sign; she is purposeless, neither good nor bad, neither angel nor devil, never egotistical (and therefore has often been said to be altruistic); she is as non-moral as she is non-logical. But all existence is moral and logical existence. So woman has no existence. (Weininger 286, 220)

写作思路：写出几种解决性别歧视的方法，从个人到群体的方法都可以写出来。

正文：

Women have independent personality, economic independence, do not cling to other people's life. Some girls are really not independent enough. They use being a girl as an excuse to let others do things for them. Over time, how can they have a position.

女性具有独立人格，经济独立，不攀附别人生活。有些女生确实是不够独立，做什么事都以自己是女生为借口，让别人代做，久而久之，怎么会有地位。

Schools and other educational institutions carry out education on the idea of equality between men and women. Only by receiving ideological education in this respect can we renew some people's wrong ideas. Only the right thought can have the right behavior.

学校等教育机构进行男女平等思想的教育。只有受到这方面的思想教育，才会更新一些人错误的观念。只有正确的思想才会有正确的行为。

Television, radio and other aspects of the production of related programs. Good programs subtly change people's misconceptions. In a relaxed state, it's easy for people to accept.

电视广播等方面制作相关的节目。好的节目在潜移默化中扭转人们错误的认识。在轻松地状态下，人们很容易接受。

Trade Unions (women's federations) make plans to ensure non discriminatory employment. If we want to ensure employment without discrimination, we can not do without social supervision. The relevant departments should do a good job in supervision and actively solve the unfair complaints.

工会（妇联）制定计划，保障无歧视就业。想保障无歧视就业就离不开社会的监督。有关部门要做好监督工作，遇到不公正方面的投诉要积极解决。

Discrimination is not limited to women, but also to men. Some occupations have colored glasses for male employees, such as male kindergarten teachers, male nurses and so on. We should also guarantee the rights of these professional employees.

歧视不仅仅限于女性，也有对男性的歧视。有些职业对于男性就业者会带有有色眼镜，比如男幼师、男护士等等。也要保证这些职业就业者的权利。

写作思路：

1、需要从性别歧视这一点入手，可以在网上查阅关于性别歧视的资料，自己总结然后可以开始写作了。

2、写作时，需要对照英语作文题目的要求，完成相应的回答。

英语作文如下：

Gender Inequality in Employment of College Graduates Though people's concept of gender has changed a lot, gender inequality in some cases still exists.

尽管人们的性别观念已经发生了很大的变化，但在某些情况下，性别不平等仍然存在。

I will mainly express my opinions on gender inequality in employment of college graduates in this passage. It is generally acknowledged that college graduates are confronted with heavy pressure of seeking jobs in China. However it is more difficult for female graduates to seek a good job because of the social discrimination.

在这篇文章中，我将主要表达我对大学毕业生就业中的性别不平等的看法。人们普遍认为，在中国，大学毕业生面临着巨大的求职压力。然而，由于社会歧视，女性毕业生更难找到一份好工作。

There is no denying that female job-seekers are treated unequally when they apply for most of the jobs such as computer programmers, drivers, factory workers and so on. There are numerous reasons accounting for this phenomenon.

不可否认，女性求职者在申请大多数工作时，如电脑程序员、司机、工厂工人等，受到了不平等的对待。造成这一现象的原因有很多。

Above all, compared with male graduates, female graduates are concerned to have inevitable physical weaknesses. In addition, women have to give birth to babies one day they get married, consequently they need a maternity leave for several months which certainly makes less profit for the company.

最重要的是，与男毕业生相比，女毕业生都被认为有不可避免的身体缺陷。另外，女性在结婚的某一天还要生孩子，因此她们需要休几个月的产假，这当然会减少公司的利润。

As far as I am concerned, women can do as good as men even better than men, therefore women shouldn't be treated unequally.

在我看来，女人可以做得和男人一样好，甚至比男人更好，所以女人不应该被不平等的对待。

The government can take measures to improve this situation, in the meanwhile, the society and companies should also give equalopportunities to female graduates and male graduates. If this discrimination can be eliminated, our society will be bound to be better.

政府可以采取措施来改善这种情况，与此同时，社会和公司也应该给予女毕业生和男毕业生平等的机会。如果这种歧视能够消除，我们的社会一定会更好。
