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.
While highlighting some of the gender related issues, the author intends to say that _________.
The passage ends by saying that women are as much initiators and originators as men, which means both sexes can start or create any activity. So the author intends that both men and women may be the originators of any given activity, which is the fourth option. The first option is the opposite of what the writer wants, while the second and third twist the message; the author never says men are sex objects or that women should dominate men.
