2014考研英语:阅读理解模拟题及答案(十八)
In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharplyseparated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesserextent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern ofsharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads tofurther sharing.

Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthydevelopment of the child.
