Since times immemorial, woman has been the victim of male domination and oppression and is treated like a beast and an object for pleasure. Man looked at woman as weaker sex and his sole property. Women are not born to either fortune or position and may well have been living, adjusted to the terms and conditions dictated by the men-folk within the family and in the society at large. It is a fact that the woman is a victim everywhere of the prevalent social norms. She gets trapped within the set moral codes and social norms of the society and consequently leads an unhappy life. As a matter of fact, a woman is born to be as free as man but she is victimized,marginalized and subdued by the male community everywhere in patriarchal culture. She has been the subordinate sex, 'the second sex' and has to conform to the male standards. The term 'man' usually reveals the entire human race, while the term 'woman' is silent and not mentioned.
