Answer: (A)











Read the following paragraph and answer questions numbers 46 to 50:





Feminists with varying intellectual frames of reference have put forth diverse positions about privileging the category of gender over women. The shift from women to gender has been viewed by some as a replacement of the study of sexual inequality with the study of the differences between the sexes (Evans 1990). They make a case for the continuing usefulness of the term ‘woman’ for analysis as against the category of gender. The category ‘gender’ is seen as diverting the focus from specific issues concerning women both in the political and academic sphere. However, feminists, especially third world, black and Dalit feminists, have underlined the dangers of presuming a set of common meanings for the category women. They have argued that the category women universalizes and hemogeneises the experiences of white, middle-class and upper-caste women. On the other hand, the use of the category gender allows for the analyses of differences of race, class, caste, nation and sexual orientation between women. The use of the category woman assumes commonality between all women and can at best allow the analysis of the differences among women in an additive or add-on manner. In the analysis of a caste based society, for instance, such an assumption of commonality amounts to a reiteration of the normative status of the upper-caste women. Often the commonality between women is assumed on the basis of their experiences of victimhood as ‘women’ in a patriarchal society. Such an assumption not only universalizes the concept of patriarchy but also argues as if the oppression of caste and class is located in some ‘non-woman’ part of Dalit women. The use of the category gender allows for an analysis of the interlocking structures of oppression and, in fact, goes beyond the analysis of the differences among women by underlining the gendered nature of caste and class oppression.











46. Mark out the correct answer





(A) The category gender universalizes and homogenizes the experiences of race, class and upper caste women.





(B) The category women allows for the analysis of differences of race, class and sexual orientation between women.





(C) The category women assume commonality between all women.

47. The category gender is useful for





(A) An analysis of the interlocking structures of oppression.





(B) The analysis of the differences among women.





(C) The analysis of nature of oppression of low caste women.





(D) The analysis of nature of oppression of both caste and class women.





Answer: (A)











48. What is the danger perceived by the feminists in using category gender over women?





(A) It will break the commonality between women.





(B) It diverts the focus from specific issues concerning women in the political and academic sphere.





(C) It will analyze the experiences of victimhood as women.





(D) It will not help in universalizing the concept of patriarchy.





Answer: (B)











49. The shift from women to gender for some feminist implies





(A) The study of differences between the sexes.





(B) The study of sexual inequality.





(C) Both the study of sexual inequality and the differences between the sexes.





(D) The study with the focus of women issues.





Answer: (A)











50. Assertion (A): The shift from women to gender for some feminists is a replacement of the study of the differences between the sexes.





Reason (R): There is the continuing usefulness of the term “woman” for analysis as against the category of gender.
