        Gender discrimination and inequality caused by domination over women is a prevalent global phenomenon, and has made them face the limitation of equal access to opportunities, facilities, sources of power and influence in different societies. One of the main solutions of international institutions for this problem is the women's empowerment policy. This policy has also been taken into consideration in Iran and policies and plans have been made by the relevant authorities. However, objective evidence shows that the situation of women is not much favorable. According to the World Economic Forum, in 2019, Iran was ranked 148 among 153 countries in terms of gender discrimination. The aim of this research is to identify the reasons for acceptance of male domination, by women in Iran. To conduct the research, the available quantitative and qualitative data were collected, and to test the hypothesis, the "critical analysis" method was used. The theoretical approach of the article is also based on the principles and concepts of critical theory. The findings of the research show that women's submissiveness is in part formed as a result of the influence of cultural-educational elements. Therefore, as long as the educational system, the media and scientific, cultural and religious platforms that have a general audience, reproduce, justify and promote attitudes, beliefs, and relations based on legitimizing inequality and discrimination, we will see no meaningful change in the status of women in society.

        Ophiopogon japonicus is a perennial, ornamental foliage plant, whichbelongs to the family Liliaceae. It has a high demand in the local andinternational export market due to the presence of glossy white-green stripped lanceolate leaves. Improved leaves and plants of O. japonicus will be more popular in the floriculture industry. Hence, objective was to investigate the growth responses of O. japonicus for best potting media and fertilizer treatments. Shoots of O. japonicus trimmed up to 4 cm from the root-shoot junction were potted in two potting media as soil type 1, coir dust, compost and sand as 1:1:1 and soil type 2, sand, coir dust 1:1 by volume. High nitrogenfertilizer, balanced fertilizer and high phosphorous fertilizer were applied as foliar sprays in three concentrations (×1/2, ×1 and ×2 times of the RBG recommended dosages) and distilled water was used as the control. There was a significant (p<0.05) effect of growing media on the O. japonicus leaf length, plant fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, number of leaves and number of shoots. However, there was no significant difference between the control and fertilizer treatments on leaf length, shoot dry weight, number ofleaves and number of shoots while there was a significant difference among fertilizer treatments on plant fresh weight and root dry weight. Most effective potting media and fertilizer treatment for O. japonicus were sand:coir dust media (1:1) and Royal Botanic Gardens, Sri Lanka-recommended dosage (RBG) of fertilizer treatments (high nitrogen (2.5 g/L), balanced (1.25 g/L) and high phosphorous fertilizer (2.5 g/L), respectively.
