Abstract
Proto religion was formed to tackle the ghosts and excessive forces of nature. Women gender contributed to the proto religion in the form of goddesses and women priest and took equal participation as of men. But the situation has been changed and role of women gender in religion has been marginalized throughout different periods. The patriarchy has played a significant role to marginalize the women gender in religion and change the religion as a tool of patriarchy to oppress the women gender. Moreover patriarchy put women as watchdogs to implement the stringent inequalities on women in the present religion. This article tries to explore the patriarchycal strategies against the female gender in the present religion.
