高2・共テ向け｜英語長文問題75（ジェンダー）121語＋和訳・解答解説

Gender equality has become an important topic as society changes. In the past, men and women were often expected to play very different roles. Men usually worked outside the home, while women stayed at home to take care of children and housework. However, these ideas have slowly changed over time.

Today, many women have jobs and build their own careers, and more men help with family duties. This change has been supported by better education and new laws that protect equal rights. Schools and workplaces now try to treat people fairly, regardless of gender. Still, some problems remain, and old stereotypes have not completely disappeared. To create a fairer society, people need to respect each other and continue making efforts together.

Choose two statements that are NOT supported by the passage.

1. People once believed family duties should depend on gender.
2. More men now share childcare and household chores at home.
3. Society has fixed gender bias completely, so change is finished.
4. Education and laws have helped promote equal treatment for all.
5. Most women now stay home, and men avoid family responsibilities.
6. Some traditional views still influence choices in modern life.
