Being ABD, I have had my share of theory. In my experience, I find the theorists most referenced tend to be males (race hovers here too): Derrida, Lacan, Freud, de Man, Hartman, Marx, Zizek, Marx, Hartman, Eagleton, Greenblatt, Jameson, Adorno, Althusser, Miller, Barthes, Fish, Bakhtin, de Saussure, etc.

Despite claims to be interested in eradicating/erasing binaries, my professors appear to be maintaining a gender bias. The only professor to share Kristeva (and theorists of other genders/races) happened to be a female and a feminist. I do not think this is a coincidence, and I am also aware of the feminist questions surrounding Kristeva.

Nonetheless, does the dissemination of Kristeva's work suffer because of gender bias?
