Logical Reasoning Question 18

Question; Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Indian Women have excelled in every field and have engraved their names in many parts of the world, but there still seems to be a long route ahead before she attains equal status in the minds of Indian men. In a well-defined patriarchal society like India, even the cinematic world deems to project women as in factual life. This is a good thing as films have mass appeal and at least some if not all carry out a message to the public and try to create awareness. There is a myth that women are characterized in films to prop up the male role rather than characterize them as the one who keeps the narrative structure sinuous. Women are insinuated in films as bearing the burden of sexual objectification that male roles cannot. Hence, they become the bearer, and not the maker of meaning says Laura Mulvey. Most Indian women live a silent life with enormous amount of sacrifices and retain their frustration within themselves for the sake of societal pressure. What is the correct conclusion from the passage?

Options:

A) Men are projected to be more prominent in a society than women

B) Women are more prominently projected in Indian cinema than men

C) The women are discriminated against in a society marked by frustrations

D) Women are portrayed in films as sexual objects
