あたりまえではなく

紅白歌合戦の組み分けが、男女別であることを、わたしはいつどうやって知ったのだろう？今日いろんな世代の友達と話していて不思議に思った。そこに居合わせたメンバーの中で7割ほどが紅組が女性歌手で白組が男性歌手だということを知らなかったんです。別に困ることではないけれど。そこで小学5年生の女子が一言。「だってそんなこと番組の中で言ってないもん。」、、、たしかにわざわざ言ってはいないかも。30代男性がひとこと。「この時代に男女が対決するなんていいんですか？」、、なるほど。わたしの中の当たり前がちょいちょい揺らぐのは、、、以外といいことのように思いました。さ、明日は日曜日。当たり前になったことに感謝し、今や習慣になって、文化にさえなってる事柄に向き合って、そこに流れる心理を真理と照らし合わせて見たいです。

When and how did I know that the grouping of the red and white song battle was gender-specific? I was curious to talk to friends of various generations today. About 70% of the members who were there didn't know that the red group was a female singer and the white group was a male singer. It's not a problem. So a girl in fifth grade is a word. “Because I don't say that in the program,”… I don't think I'm saying it. A man in his 30s. “Why do men and women confront each other in this era?” I thought it was a good thing other than the fact that I was swaying a little. Well, tomorrow is Sunday. I would like to thank the things that were taken for granted, face the things that are now a habit and even become a culture, and see the psychology flowing there in light of the truth.
