Detailed Solution

Statement (A) is true, but statement (R) is false.
Feminist movements think that until women do not get the power to control politics, their issues can never be resolved, and their problems will not receive due attention as long as we have a male-dominated patriarchal society not willing to empower women and give up their share of power to bring equality in representation.
