요약 | Purpose : This dissertation explores the harm gender role stereotypes have on women as well as men. The purpose of this work is to establish the foundation for a progressive coalition between men and women with a focus on designing reforms for Taiwan by showing their common interest in dismantling established gender norms and practices. |
요약 | Methods : This dissertation employs cross-cultural analysis, multiple research methods, and comparative law analysis and examines childcare leave policies in Germany, the U.S. and Taiwan from the perspective of gender equality and reveals the distinct role that law plays in either dismantling gender stereotypes or endorsing normative gender distinctions. |
요약 | Results : An anti-discrimination framework has played a breathtaking role in gender equality discourse through massive litigation in American jurisprudence, though the nature of this framework, the reference point of which is men, has its limit in the dilemma of work and family. Individual women continue to suffer from gender discrimination in the workplace in the form of inadequate childcare leave since they are seen as mothers and not ideal workers and continually assume most of the childcare responsibilities with little assistance. Germany, on the other hand, with its long-standing tradition of social democracy, has many laws aimed at creating a woman/mother-friendly working atmosphere. However, the women-specific benefits—without challenging the assumption about female mother and male worker norms—strangled an opportunity for men and women to re-negotiate the gendered division of labor. Having learned from both societies' plight in realizing gender equality, Taiwan offers an example where the historical and contemporary oppression of Taiwan has restructured the balance of power between Taiwanese men and women and shaped their struggles to create and maintain work and family institutions. Although men as a group enjoy many privileges, they also pay various heavy costs and share very unequally in the fruits of patriarchy. It is the recognition of this cost which could help to foster a progressive coalition among men, as well as between men and women to achieve greater gender equality. This dissertation proposes a paid childcare leave law which encourages men to participate in childrearing based on a value of freedom of self-development. |
