| dc.description.abstract | The root of male dominance and prejudices against women dates back to biblical narrative where the fall of man is blamed on Eve, not Adam. As early as the fourth century BC, the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 – 322 BC) claimed that “women were women by virtue of a certain lack of qualities” and that “The man is by nature superior, and the female inferior; and the one rules and the other is ruled.” According to Simone de Beauvoir (1973) and Millet (1970) males considered female “the other” sex. Generally, feminism is a global response to society’s wide-ranging traditions and practices that make women subservient to men. Before the emergence of feminism in the 18th century, women were treated as objects and passive agents in a male world; and were subjected to various forms of overt and implicit discrimination. | |
