Question

Which one of the following is a case of sexual discrimination?

• A. Cases of child births are handled by lady doctors only.
• B. Pujaris and Maulvis are males even though religious communities comprise both men and women.
• C. Fighter pilots are mostly males.
• D. There are women in the artillery crops of the army.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pujaris and Maulvis are males even though religious communities comprise both men and women.

Sexual discrimination refers to bias or discrimination based on gender (sex). Male gender is usually given preference and privileges over female gender but it does not necessarily happen this way only but it could be vice versa too. The cases of childbirth are handled by Lady Doctors wherein the male doctors having learned the course and experience are not given opportunity in childbirth cases.

Pujaris and Maulvis are religious gurus of their respective religion. The post cannot be considered discriminative as it is covered under religious beliefs and faiths although there are instances wherein Mosques and Temples these posts are held by women gender.
