Additionally, Butler identifies the place of sexuality in this relationship: since the &#8220;woman&#8221; exists as the object over which the male dominates, the creation of gender entails the support of a heteronormative framework. Thus, Butler claims, the male\/female categorization of bodies cannot be made without creating a woman\/man dichotomy in which the woman suffers, and the expectation that &#8220;woman&#8221; and &#8220;man&#8221; exist to be heterosexual beings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In her 1999 Preface to Gender\u00a0Trouble, Butler stresses the connection between sex inequality and gender: as soon as a male\/female distinction is made, the &#8220;woman&#8221; is created as a subordinate &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/uncategorized\/the-sex-hierarchy-creates-gender\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Sex Hierarchy Creates Gender<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":144,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143\/revisions\/144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
