support.Women typically describe their friendships in terms of closeness and emotional attachment.What characterizes friendships between women is the willingness to share important feelings,thoughts,experiences,and support.Women devote a good deal of time and intensity of involvement to friends.Friendships between women,more so than between men,are broad and less likely to be divided.,Gender Patterns in Friendship,Cultural information,6,Audiovisual supplement,Cultural information,Mens Friendships,Unlike women,men are typically socialized by society to be less social and have more difficulty with friendships;they are often raised to compete with other men and not cooperate with them,to hide their vulnerabilities and not share their inner experiences.However,like women,men can benefit from the social bonds of friendship.The great friendships recorded in history have been between men,and friendships among men have often been romanticized and idealized.Mens friendships have typically been described in terms of bravery and physical sacrifice in providing assistance to others.Despite this historical romanticization of the,Cultural information,7,Audiovisual supplement,Cultural information,male friendship,researchers have found that men have significantly fewer friends than women,especially close friendships or best friends.,Cultural information,8,Audiovisual supplement,Cultural information,Friendship between Men and Women,There is much debate about the possibilities of male and female friendships.Much of this debate has had to do with the idea that sexual attraction will prevent men and women from forming a strong platonic bond.There can be many challenges to female-male friendships.For instance,in a society where men have typically had more power and dominance,equality can be an issue.Both genders may benefit from these interactions:Men may learn more about sharing and establishing emotional support,while women might enjoy interactions that are less emotionally challenging.,General analysis,Structural,features,In the text,the author discusses the differences between a buddy and a friend in a forceful way.The main

friendship.,To show the differences between buddiness and friendship effectively,the author of the text coordinates sentences in various ways.Sometimes he uses conjunctions such as,but,yet,and,while,.And sometimes he simply puts two clauses together without using any conjunction at all.,For examples:,Well,she thought,on the whole,men had buddies,while,women had friends.Buddies bonded,but,friends loved.Buddies faced adversity together,but,friends faced each other.There was something palpably different in the way they spent their time.Buddies seemed

Turning Point,and now,Girlfriends,.It seemed that the peculiar eye,the social lens of the cinema,had drastically,shifted its focus,.Suddenly the Male Buddy movies had been replaced by the Female Friendship,flicks,.,4,This wasnt just another,binge,of trendiness,but a kind of cinema,vrit,.For once the movies were reflecting a shift,not just from men to women but from one definition of friendship to another.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading5,5 Across millions of miles of celluloid,the ideal of friendship had always been male a world of,sidekicks,and“partners”of Butch Cassidys and Sundance Kids.There had been something almost atavistic about these visions of attachments as if producers,culled,their plots from some pop anthropology book on male bonding.Movies portrayed the idea that only men,those direct descendants of hunters and Hemingways,inherited,a primal capacity for friendship.In contrast,they portrayed women,picking on,each other,the way they once picked berries.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading6-7,6 Well,that duality must have been mortally wounded in some shootout at the,Youre OK,Im OK Corral,.Now,on the screen,they were at least aware of the subtle distinction between men and women as buddies and friends.,7 About 150 years ago,Coleridge had written,“,A womans friendship,borders,more closely,on,love than a mans,.,Men affect each other in the reflection of noble or friendly acts,whilst women ask fewer proofs and more signs and expressions of attachment.”,Detailed reading,Detailed reading8-9,Detailed reading,8 Well,she thought,on the whole,men had buddies,while women had friends.Buddies bonded,but friends loved.Buddies faced,adversity,together,but friends faced each other.There was something palpably different in the way they spent their time.Buddies seemed to“do”things together;friends simply“were”together.,9Buddies came linked,like accessories,to one activity or another.People have golf buddies and business buddies,college buddies and club buddies.Men often keep their buddies in these categories,while women keep a special category for friends.,Detailed reading10-12,Detailed reading,10,A man once told her that men werent real buddies until they had been“through the wars”together,corporate or athletic or military,.They had to soldier together,he said.Women,on the other hand,didnt,count,themselves as friends until they had shared three loathsome confidences.,11Buddies hang tough together;friends hang onto each other.,12It probably had something to do with pride.You dont show off to a friend;you show need.Buddies try to keep the worst from each other;friends confess it.,13 A friend of hers once telephoned her lover,just to find out if he was home.She hung up without a hello when he picked up the phone.Later,wretched with embarrassment,the friend moaned,“Can you believe me?A thirty-five-year-old lawyer,making a,chicken,call?”Together they laughed and made it better.,14 Buddies seek approval.But friends seek acceptance.,15 She knew so many men who had been trained in restraint,afraid of each others judgment or awkward with each others affection.She wasnt sure which.Like buddies in the movies,they would die for each other,but never hug each other.,Detailed reading13-15,Detailed reading,16 She had reread,Babbitt,recently,that extraordinary catalogue of male grievances.,The only relationship that gave meaning to the claustrophobic life of George Babbitt had been with Paul Riesling.,But not once in the tragedy of their lives had one been able to say to the other:You make a difference.,17 Even now men shocked her at times with their description of friendship.Does this one have a best friend?“Why,of course,we see each other every February.”Does that one call his most intimate pal long distance?“Why,certainly,whenever theres a real reason.”,Detailed reading16-17,Detailed reading,Detailed reading18-19,Detailed reading,Do those two old chums ever have dinner together?“You mean alone?Without our wives?”,18 Yet,things were changing.The ideal of intimacy wasnt this parallel playmate,this teammate,this trenchmate.Not even in Hollywood.In the double standard of friendship,for once the female version was becoming accepted as the general ideal.,19 After all,a buddy is a fine life-companion.But ones friends,as Santayana once wrote,“are that part of the race with which one can be human.”,What kind of movie did the woman see?What did she think of it?(paragraphs 1,2),Detailed reading1-,Quesion,1,It was a movie that portrayed all aspects of the friendship between two women:its fragility,its resiliency and its connecting function.It was quite an ordinary film,without thrilling scenes like a long-time car chase or a fierce gunfight.The end was of no great significance either.,The movie was gentle and moving to the woman,because,as the following paragraphs show,with the other two movies it brought about a new definition of friendship that stood against the traditional view of friendship.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,2,Detailed reading,What led the woman to think that the cinema has drastically shifted its focus?(paragraph 3),It was the fact that at present there were many more movies about Female Friendship than movies about Male Buddiness.In contrast,in the past,the friendship between men had dominated the movies,giving a false impression that only men were capable of making friends.,What was the shift?(paragraph 4),On the surface,it was a shift from the friendship between men to that between women;but in nature the shift highlighted a different type of friendship:Male Buddiness is subtly distinct from Female Friendship.,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,3,Detailed reading,What is the fundamental difference between buddies and friends?(paragraphs 7,18),Buddies are mens companions;they are connected by common activities.Friends,in the narrow sense in the text,are womens companions;they are associated by emotional attachment.Without shared activities,there would be no buddies for men;without love there would be no true friends for women.,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,4,Detailed reading,What are the conditions of men becoming buddies and of women becoming friends?(paragraphs 7,18),Men become buddies only when they have weathered storms in commercial or athletic or military“wars”together,while women have to exchange at least three loathsome secrets before they consider themselves as friends.,slight:,a.,of no importance or consideration;t
