Tend Towards A Freely Harmonious Relationship Between Two Sexes

In human society, the relationship between two sexes is the one of the basic human relationships. But in human history, it has never been considered critically enough. With the coming of industrial society and the post-industrial society, the traditional sexual relationship loses its social basic. And the traditional sex roles are constantly questioned and challenged. So the bewilderment of sex roles is the one of anxiety of modern people. However, the questions concerning genders do not exist in isolation. They have run through the development of history, set in both the macroscopic and microscopic levels of society, concern emancipation and development of men and women. So to think about those questions is also to hunt after human history, analyze social reality and select the developmental direction of both society and human beings.Through the historical development of the relationship between two sexes, the harmony of sex relationship has presented in different ways. In the time when human beings are completely dependent on nature, it appears as "dependent harmony"; in the time when human beings become independent enough, it appears as "independent harmony"; in the time when human beings are free enough, it appears as "free harmony". In this process, every change and transformation of social structure always destroys the previous balance, and in the new social structure the power of two sexes is redistributed or recombined, therefore a new harmony is formed. Because no one can slide over the differences between two sexes, and a harmonious relationship between two sexes is the everlasting pursuit of human beings,so a freely harmonious is the best choice of sex relationship. The freely harmonious relationship between two sexes is to respect the differences between two sexes. The freely harmonious sex relationship shows rich humanity in the process of pursuing free individuality. It also shows sex equity which transcends equality between men and women. So, the freely harmonious relationship between two sexes is established on the basis of the unity between "harmonious relationship" and "free individuality". It does not only guarantee the free individuality of person, but also prevents the oppression or conflict between two sexes. It embodies inherent united relationship between two sexes and come true the sublimation from a "harmony of being" to a "harmony of becoming".The relationship between two sexes doesn't exist or develop in isolation. Its progress is determined innately by way of labor division based on sex. In the time when human beings rely on plants-collecting, the division of labor is a natural one based on purely physical factors. According to this way of division, men and women can make full use of their ability and they can cooperate with each other and conquer severe living conditions together. So "primitive mutual compensation" is the typical relationship between two sexes in a "collecting society". While in an agricultural society, division of labor based on sex is differentiated into "pubic" and "private", "inside" and "outside" domain. Males belong to public domain, while women belong to private domain. This way of labor division makes men predominant in both social production and economic life. On the contrary, women, due to their reliance on men in economy, have to be subjected to men psychologically. In the end, women are controlled by men completely in both economy and personality. In another word, the way of division of labor based on the idea that women are subordinate to men decides the status of men and women. That is men are superior to women while women are inferior to men. With the coming of industrial society, the division of public and private domain is destroyed. Many women becomelabors in the industrial society and obtain the legal position in the public domain. These changes make it possible that women become somewhat equal to men. Above all, division of labor on account of sex and the change of sex power and sex relationship brought about by it are the innate decisiv...
