Men and women should be depicted as whole and individual human being. They should not be characterized by traditional attributes of their sexes. Women should be shown to have the same practical, positive and objective attributes as men.
Similarly, men should also be represented as having unreasonable, subjective and negative attributes. In the portrayal of children, girls should often be shown as strong and even domineering. Both men and women should be treated with equal respect and dignity.
While the outworn traditional attributes of each sex should end, their physical attributes should be avoided as far as possible. The sexist approach of viewing women as sex objects, cracking jokes at their expense and satirizing their issues, should be avoided. Likewise, men should not be characterized and ridiculed as over dependent on and dominated by women. The various spheres of activity should not be characterized by sexist demarcations but should include both men and women.
Writers should avoid an attribute of disbelieving surprise at women's competence and efficacy. Women should be spoken of as active participants and not as men's possessions. Besides, women are as much initiators and originators as men.
What does the author not wish to be practiced in the society to bring gender equality ?
The question asks what the author would not want. Options 1, 2 and 3 are all things the author clearly supports, ending old gender attributes, stopping the view of women as sex objects, and not ridiculing men as dependent on women. Option 4 says only men should be treated as initiators, but the passage insists women are as much initiators as men. So that is exactly what the author does not wish, which makes the fourth option the answer.
