There is a popular notion that the editor of a woman's magazine should be a woman. At first thought, perhaps, this sounds logical. But it is a curious fact that by far the larger number of periodicals for women, the world over, are edited by men; and where, as in some cases, a woman is the proclaimed editor, the direction of the editorial policy is generally in the hands of a man, or group of men, in the background. Why this is so has never been explained, any more than why the majority of women's dressmakers are men; why music, with its larger appeal to women, has been and is still being composed, largely, by men, and why its greatest instrumental performers are likewise men; and why the church, with its larger membership of women, still has, as it always has had, men for its greatest preachers.

白话
流行观念认为,女性杂志的主编应该由女性来当。乍一想,这似乎合乎逻辑。但一个奇怪的事实是:全世界绝大多数女性刊物都是由男性主编的;即便有些刊物名义上由女性主编,编辑方针通常也掌握在幕后的一个或一群男性手中。为什么会这样,从来没人解释过,就像没人解释为什么大多数女装裁缝是男性;为什么音乐对女性吸引力更大,却一直主要由男性作曲,最伟大的器乐演奏者也多是男性;为什么教会里女性成员更多,最伟大的布道家却始终是男性。
上下文
博克在自传中讨论女性杂志主编性别的问题,他本人正是男性且主编女性杂志。

你身边有没有“某类工作就该由某类人做”的默认观念,其实经不起事实推敲?
