The document discusses the role of patriarchy in the suffering of women. It defines key terms like gender discrimination, patriarchy, and women's subordination. It notes that patriarchy refers to male domination in both public and private spheres. Under patriarchy, women experience subordination through issues like son preference, burden of household work, lack of education, and lack of freedom. However, modern women have gained more independence and equality compared to women in early ages and history, though patriarchal societies still exist worldwide and negatively impact women. The document concludes that while situations for women have improved over time with events like women's suffrage movements, continued efforts are still needed in some places to establish true gender equality.
