Gender Discourse In The Writings Of Raja Rao

Abstract

The "sex" and "gender" debates always flare up whenever the topic of gender is broached. Gender is a cultural construction, in contrast to the biological category of sex. Based on these myths, society places men and women in different positions. The female is often the focal point of any discussion on gender. Culture and society both have biases against women. Gender is a feminist concept, but sexism against males has been under-analyzed, making this an exclusively female concern. Discourse analysis of gender as an interdisciplinary field of research. Sociology, linguistics, communication, anthropology, psychology, and literature are all part of
this umbrella term. Discourse really serves a s a lens through which gender inequality may be examined.
