爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

The arguments that a woman should not have a vote because she was a woman; that it would interfere with her work in the home; that it would make her more masculine; that it would take her out of her own home; that it was a blow at domesticity and an actual menace to the home life of America--these did not weight with him. There was only one question for him to settle: Was the ballot something which, in its demonstrated value or in its potentiality, would serve the best interests of American womanhood?

白话

博克不认同那些常见的反对理由:因为她是女人就不该有投票权、投票会妨碍家务、会让女性变得男性化、会把她带出家庭、是对家庭生活的打击和威胁。他认为这些说法都站不住脚。对他来说,唯一要解决的问题是:投票权在已经证明的价值或潜在价值上,是否真正符合美国女性的最佳利益。他把问题从性别偏见拉回到实际利弊的评估上,这是一种更理性的思考方式。

上下文

20世纪初反对女性选举权的人常以家庭和性别角色为由,博克在自传中表示自己不接受这些论证。

今日一问

当你反对或支持某件事时,你的理由是基于实际利弊,还是基于对某类人的刻板印象?
