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 gender- just 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.

What is the situation of women in patriarchal society?

Face discrimination in various spheres.

The correct answer is Option (4) → Face discrimination in various spheres.

The passage says that both men and women in patriarchal societies are restricted by dominant gender identities. For women, this often results in unequal treatment, limited opportunities, and lack of freedom in many areas of life. This clearly points to discrimination in various spheres rather than equal access to resources or unrestricted opportunities.
