Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based on the passage:

There has been greater recognition that both men and women are constrained by dominant gender identities. For instance, men in patriarchal societies feel they must be strong and successful. It is not manly, to express oneself emotionally.A genderjust society would allow both men and women to be free. This, of course, rests on the idea that for true freedom to grow and develop, injustices of all kinds have to end. The idea of a gender-just society is based upon two important factors - educated women with multiple roles and improved sex ratio. The programme of the Government of India, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Yojana is an important effort in the actualization of a gender-just society.

Q) What is the situation of women in patriarchal society?

Correct Option: Face discrimination in various spheres.

Explanation:
A patriarchal society is structured around male dominance and rigid gender roles that place constraints on both men and women. The passage mentions that a "gender-just society would allow both men and women to be free," which directly implies that in the current patriarchal setup, women (and men) lack true freedom due to prevailing societal injustices.

Furthermore, the passage states that a gender-just society relies on "educated women with multiple roles" and an "improved sex ratio," citing the Government of India's "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" (Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter) initiative. The need for such targeted interventions highlighting education and survival indicates that women in a patriarchy do not enjoy equal opportunities and instead face systemic discrimination across various spheres of life, including education, social roles, and survival.
