Detailed Solution

Both (A) and ( R) are true.
Patriarchal culture prioritises males over women; from birth, families begin educating their children on the range of socially acceptable responsibilities; men are taught to work outside the home, while women take care of the home and family. Men are the only ones who ever delegate control or decision-making to women. This is the sexual division of labour, where males are not allowed to do household chores, and women are not thought to be capable of working for a living. At every stage of their life, women experience discrimination, harassment, and insults. Statement (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
