Gender Bias - 为什么不问阿妈是否无业/退休？

前天收到一封email，是要我回答我爸是否无业/退休了，因为在表格里，我填了爸妈都没有Organization/Employer Name，没有Department，没有Job Designation/Appointment/Position。

于是，我在ChatGPT的帮助下，回复了这样一封email。

Hi XX,

The question "father’s is unemployed / retired?" reflects a gender bias.

Perhaps the same clarifying question should be asked for both parents (to everyone whose father/mother is filled as such).

• “For father: is he retired, unemployed, homemaker, or other?”
• “For mother: is she retired, unemployed, homemaker, or other?”

If the assumption is that mothers are housewives, it seems equally reasonable to also assume that a 78-year-old father is unemployed/retired when the Employer and Job Designation fields are marked as None.

这，会rude吗？

会感觉针对任何人吗？

看到这封email的人会不会觉得我怎么这样..？难相处..？姨妈到？更年期？哈哈哈

怎么可以更友善地表达同样的事情呢？

我不管了，sent了就是sent了。

那问题本身听起来不公平，我只是要反映让问问题的人知道而已。

我想，基于我这样的回复，对方就会把我的回复转告债主(冤有头，债有主)，那么，债主才会收到我的message。

这件事最后的结果是，债主也要妈妈的资料。

填好了，提交。✅
