ABSTRACT:

In general terms, sex refers to the biological constructs which differentiates the male and female. The term ‘gender’ is more difficult to define. Gender is a social construct which represents the differences in power relation on account of sex difference. In a patriarchal society men are increasingly taking on the main rules when compared to women. This study will look at certain aspects on gender and sexuality. It will give us a notion of gender politics also. Every politics has evolved a set of strategies to perpetuate and strengthen itself. Here in this context patriarchy is the politics of male domination.
