It is neither natural nor based on biology; rather, it is based on stereotypes and social expectations. It has believed that household work is the primary responsibility of women. Women’s work is not valued or recognised as equal to men's. Their role in the public sphere is also negligible. In a male-dominated society like ours, women face a lot of discrimination.
