“If women and girls are not protected and empowered, they will struggle to improve their lives.” This has been a deep-rooted notion in the society since many centuries, primarily stemming from the superiority in physical strength an average man enjoys over an average woman. This notion has led to a vicious cycle: girls struggle to get access to such basic necessities for personal growth as education, job opportunities etc., leading them to spend the majority of their lives in homes without making any signi}cant contributions to the world. This scenario in turn only exacerbates their societal status, branding females as the weaker sex. Discrimination in labor laws against women exists in 104 countries even in the present day. The discrimination ranges from not allowing women to work as late as their male counterparts, citing safety reasons to prohibiting women from working in mines and other labor-intensive jobs, and citing protection of women from physically harsh environments as a reason.
Typically, women have been treated as the weaker sex on the grounds of physical strength, intellectual capabilities, and real-world contributions. It is a fact that men are genetically designed to be naturally stronger, on average. However, with adequate efforts, females can also attain similar levels of strength, says science. Research also indicates that females are way more ef}cient at multi-tasking than men are, putting them a couple of notches above men on any intellectual scale. In fact, the highest ever recorded IQ score belongs to a woman – Marilyn vos Savant. Marilyn has an IQ of 228, whereas Einstein – one of the smartest known persons to have lived in the 20 century –never scored more than a 190 on any IQ test. Women such as Angela Merkel – Chancellor of Germany, Sheryl Sandberg – COO of Facebook, Francoise Meyers – owner of L’Oreal brand etc. have long proven that women can compete on equal grounds with men in their contributions to the world. Moreover, science says that women – on an average – live longer, are less prone to diseases, and are more likely to survive famines – thus helping the human race survive – than men. A bird’s eye view of the actual situation begs the question, “Can we still consider women as the weaker sex?”

The passage mentions Einstein to be “one of the smartest known persons”.
(C) Inconsistent: With enough efforts, women can achieve similar physical strength.
Relevant portion in the passage: However, with adequate efforts, females can also attain similar levels of strength, says science. (Paragraph 2)
(D) Out of Scope: This answer choice is an extreme choice.
Relevant portion in the passage: Moreover, science says that women – on an average – live longer, are less prone to diseases, and are more likely to survive famines – thus helping the human race survive – than men.
