The final model specifies contextual conditions like patriarchal culture, unbalanced role division and the collision of men’s and women’s worlds as the intervening conditions, undertaking female exhibiting behavioral manner, and changes in family values as interactions and weak self-confidence, weak humane character, poor feeling of security and beauty-based self-image as consequences of misogyny.
