In her book “Gender Trouble”, Judith Butler identifies the oppressing factor about gender. Butler asserts, “But the subjects regulated by such structures are, by virtue of being subjected to them, formed, defined and reproduced in accordance with the requirements of those structures” (12). Not only does gender dictate the characteristics of male and females, it does not provide any possibility of those subjected to realize their subjection for that’s the oppression that they have created for themselves. One will only realize the oppression of gender through education, but by then, the conflicts presented mentally and externally are already present; subjugation by this form is therefore unending. One internally struggles with the notion of gender, as it holds society down to a standard of categories called male and female. Also, there is no in-between when it comes to gender, it is a binary as stated by Butler, making it impossible to a full person, able to experience all degrees of emotion or activity because there is such a mental segregation. One will lie about their beliefs so that they can conform. They also struggle externally, striving to seek recognition from others in their conforming
