Women issue was always closely related to patriarchy culture and the latter’s many manifestation. This was realistic, right? Patriarchy was so entrenched in our social life that it did not diminish with the ticking time. Knowledge expanded, thoughts became more open, technology became more modern, yet people still chose to be entrapped in patriarchy and even showed more forcefully this aspect by holding on to power to all aspects of life. It was not necessary to use modern telescope to see this fact, one just needed to open one’s eyes and see from the closest thing to them.
