Wollstonecraft (A Vindication of the
Rights of Women, 1792) highlight
the inequalities between the sexes.

Feminist Literary Theory:
Lesbian, Gay, And Queer Theory
lesbian critics address issues related to both
sexism and heterosexism. In other words, lesbian
critics must deal with the psychological, social,
economic, and political oppression fostered not
only by patriarchal male privilege, but by
heterosexual privilege as well.
The word “queer” was used to describe
homosexual males. • Queer theory only came
inInformation
1990 and it is distinct from G L studies and
feminism.
three important domains of gay sensibility, all of
which involve responses to heterosexist
oppression, are drag, camp, and dealing with the
issue of AIDS.(Tyson 330)

with issues of personal identity

Summary / Mindmap of the text:
Feminist theory was first discovered in the 170s to 1990s, where in that year it was divided into three major stages, in that big round, sub-
theories based on feminism emerged, among others, lesbian, gay, and queer theory. matters that directly intersect with the problem of sexual
orientation. Literary works that contain a lot of this kind of thing can be found in erotic adult works. In the sexual orientation which is divided
into three, so that it is clear that lesbians are same-sex enthusiasts among women, gay is sex lovers between men, and queer is a theory that
criticizes traditional values so that the two values that intersect with society can be accepted by the wider community.

My Question
1. Can this theory be used in the search for the structure of society like in myths or legends?
2. Is this theory included in psychological disorders? If so, why is this science not included in the theory of psychoanalysis instead of
having to branch out new knowledge?
3. Are the problems of psychological influence and sexual orientation the same thing? If it is same, it means that literary works that have
sexual orientation values in them mean that there are also a psychological values?
My comments (what I think, what I agree, what I disagree):
(5 - 10 sentences)
Feminist: lesbian, gay and queer theory in my view is like a theory that wants to fight for the rights of people who are marginalized because of
their differences. It is known that up to now this theory in its application has been widely opposed, even the work or symbolism related to this
matter is also widely opposed. In Indonesia, this matter is still taboo to be raised and discussed because it contradicts the eastern customary
values prevailing in Indonesia. However, this theory is deliberately adopted in order to find out that the basis for the emergence of people doing
so has a reason, therefore the things that were studied make people are looking for a solution.
