在所谓的"文明世界"里，男女的角色是由"自由"这一概念来界定的。尽管许多人认为这是唯一公正的方式，但其成功与否的真正证明，应当在整个社会中去观察。

In the so-called ‘civilised world’, the roles of men and women are defined by the concept of freedom. While this is held by many to be the only just way, the real proof of its success can be seen in the society at large.

社会迫使女性遵从某些角色，而这些角色本质上会损害她们的尊严与体面；然而她们仍然认为自己获得了解放。“时尚”规定她们必须袒露身体，才算得体的着装。她们的身体被当作商品，用来推销汽车和巧克力。色情内容普遍被视为一种权利，而非剥削。女性发现自己在与男性竞争，并且在努力承担同样的角色。

Society pressures women to conform to certain roles, which by their nature destroy their honour and dignity; yet still they believe themselves to be liberated. ‘Fashion’ dictates that they must undress themselves to be acceptably attired. Their bodies are used like commodities to sell cars and chocolate bars. Pornography is commonly seen as a right, rather than exploitation. Women find themselves competing with men, and struggling to fulfil the same roles.

性自由的风气也带来了它的后果。强奸、堕胎和卖淫在新闻中已是司空见惯的事。通奸、婚前性行为和同性恋被视为完全可以接受的行为，而那些拒绝这些行为的人则被视为“落后”。成千上万的妇女被迫独自抚养子女，同时还要为如何养活自己而担忧。

The air of sexual freedom, too has its consequences. Rape, abortion, and prostitution are everyday occurrences in the news. Adultery, sex before marriage and homosexuality are perfectly acceptable, while those who reject them are seen as ‘backward.’ Tens of thousands of women are forced to bring up children on their own, while at the same time worrying about how to provide for themselves.
