Gender blindness of Man-made Ethics: Eunice de Souza’s Poems

Abstract

Abstract

In the Indian context the irrational use of gender has discriminatory effect in understanding women as a social component. Gender has often being used as a condition to judge male female variants in a purely generalized term. The clichéd statement of Beauvoir indicating women as the product of a malic society well accepted though, yet even now there are several running rifts in gender which come to be problematic to the serious researchers. Women in India are prone to suffer multiple slippages and ruptures even before they are exposed to the civilization, or move amid the sexist gaze of the malic society. Their sense of dislocation starts from the very sanctuary where they are born and reared. Their experience in school as they are tailored due their biological exclusivity, or the several imposition which create them as imperfect humans amid perfections of phallic society, in effect locate females as pseudo-universal mother first and then as actional vessel serving multiple functions amid unhousement and rehousement.
