Closely reread this sentence from the passage. I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Which evidence from the passage is LEAST relevant to this claim?

A. We don't often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that they are... (paragraph 22)
B. But sadly I can say that there is not one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. (paragraph 13)
C. "I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating (paragraph 3)
D. In 1995, Hilary Clinton made a famous speech in Beijing about women's rights. Sadly many of the things she wanted to change are still a reality today. (paragraph 17)

Answer 1

Evidence A, discussing gender stereotypes affecting men, is the least relevant to the claim about the popularity of feminism, as it does not directly address the term's acceptance or popularity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least relevant evidence to the claim that feminism has become an unpopular word is option A: We don't often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that they are. This statement focuses on the impact of gender stereotypes on men, rather than directly addressing the popularity or acceptability of the term feminism. Therefore, it does not support or contradict the claim about feminism's popularity.

The other options provided (B, C, D) all have relevance because they directly relate to the progress, challenges, or perceptions that are specifically connected to the feminist movement or women's rights, which influences the popularity and understanding of the term feminism.
