Patriarchal fallacies East and West: A comparative study of gender imposition in the writings of Hell

"In the structuralist's seemingly profound theory of ""binary opposition"" is a danger of institutionalizing gender. It is my contention in this project that ""gender imposition"" is a patriarchal and theological projection derived from the institutionalization of symbolic orders. By ""gender imposition"" I mean the symbolization of gender imposed through the projection of a patriarchal value system, particularly the theological one."
