Men and WomenDifferent
men, of course, have suffered a similar fate. in fact, when the moderator（仲裁） called for a vote on whether male or female roles had changed more in recent years, most felt that men had suffered even greater changes than women. men, for instance, are not required to go fishing as often as they once did since the store offers a selection of frozen and canned protein items from abroad. they too seem to have found their teaching roles weakened.
the difference, as one participant put it, is this. if men's traditional roles have eroded(受侵蝕) over time, new roles have taken the place of the old. when women's roles were lost in the course of change, however, they were never replaced. women, who were once seen as contributors（貢獻(xiàn)者） to their society on a par（同等） with men, are now becoming ever more economically ignored. they are seen primarily as housewives dependent upon male bread-winners, in the words of one person. men have been generally given access(通道) to new roles in the modern society, while women have not.
