托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
The fact has already been remarked upon incidentally in the course of the discussion of the growth of economic institutions generally, and in particular in speaking of vicarious leisure and of dress, that the position of women in the modern economic scheme is more widely and more consistently at variance with the promptings of the instinct of workmanship than is the position of the men of the same classes. It is also apparently true that the woman's temperament includes a larger share of this instinct that approves peace and disapproves futility. It is therefore not a fortuitous circumstance that the women of modern industrial communities show a livelier sense of the discrepancy between the accepted scheme of life and the exigencies of the economic situation.

白话
凡勃伦指出,在现代经济制度中,女性的处境比同阶级男性更普遍、更一贯地违背“工艺本能”——那种喜欢踏实做事、厌恶徒劳浪费的倾向。而且女性气质里这种本能似乎还更多一些。所以,现代工业社会里女性对“公认的生活方案”和“经济现实要求”之间的落差感受更敏锐,并非偶然。原因是女性被安排做“代理休闲”和“代理消费”,比如穿不实用的衣服、维持体面排场,这些恰恰是浪费性的展示。要改变,就得让女性从展示性角色中解放出来,允许她们从事有实际产出的工作,而不是把精力花在证明家庭地位上。
