Such control and domination is sustained through the construction of such binaries: masculinity/femininity, reason/emotion, culture/nature, superior/inferior, subject/object, self/other, man/land, feudal/ serfs and so on. Women like Maina and Jhuma do not have access to land, property and decision-making, so they are controlled and dominated by male intervention. They are treated as commodity to be possessed and as instruments to carry out male purposes. Their condition is totally controlled by patriarchal norms and values, thereby being confined into domesticity occupying a subordinate position to men. Such oppression of woman operates under the ideological principle of patriarchal masculinity that seeks to control and dominate women.. Therefore, females like Maina and Jhuma are not only stereotypically represented but also hegemonically subordinated. The patriarchal ideology is inflicted upon them in such a way that they are rendered completely helpless and submissive.Item Ecological Study of Rhesus and Assamese Macaques and Their Conflict with Humans In Nagarjun Forest, Kathmandu, Nepal(Central Department of Zoology Institute of Science and Technology Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2015-04) Rijal, Bishwanathconservation xii ABSTRACT Ecological study of Rhesus and Assamese macaques and their conflict with humans in Nagarjun forest Kathmandu, Nepal were studied from February 2012 to March 2013.
