Question

Laws and rules have been discriminatory towards women in that they have often failed to sufficiently include them in their framework. Why do you think this is?

• A. Framing one-sided rules and laws are more convenient.
• B. The original framers of such rules and laws were illiterate.
• C. Most of the laws and rules were framed by men.
• D. Women asked not to be included in the thought process behind these laws and rules.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Most of the laws and rules were framed by men.

From ancient times, a majority of the rulers and the leaders have been men in our society. Thus, it was these men, aided by other men, who framed the laws and rules. This is said to be an instrumental factor in why women have been ignored to such a large extent over the years.
