Discussion
Which of the following should be considered as gender neutral atmosphere in a school ?
(a) A group of girls are making Rangoli
(b) A group of boys are volunteering in annual function.
(c) A group of girls are preparing for dance competition.
(d) A group of boys are arranging refreshments for guests.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: D
The gender neutral situations are (b) and (d).
A gender neutral atmosphere is one in which tasks are not assigned by gender stereotypes. Boys volunteering in the annual function (b) and boys arranging refreshments for guests (d) are both doing work that is often given to girls, such as hospitality and helping, so these situations show roles not tied to gender.
Girls making rangoli (a) and girls preparing for a dance competition (c) are activities stereotypically linked with girls. They are not wrong in themselves, but they reinforce rather than break the usual gender roles, so options built on them are not the answer.
