Novel Rumpile Jurang Katresnan karya Tulus Setiyadi menggambarkan berbagai bentuk objektivikasi terhadap tubuh perempuan yang dilegitimasi oleh budaya patriarki.

Praktik seksual yang tidak setara, relasi dominan-submisif, serta pengabaian terhadap kehendak dan otonomi perempuan menegaskan ketimpangan gender yang masih berlangsung. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori tubuh Simone de Beauvoir dalam The Second Sex, yang menyoroti tubuh perempuan sebagai "yang lain" yang dibentuk dan dikendalikan oleh konstruksi sosial dan budaya.

Menyebarluaskan karya sastra dan meningkatkan apresiasi sastra serta menambah pentingnya minat baca secara umum.Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa tubuh perempuan dalam novel tidak dipandang sebagai milik individu, tetapi sebagai wilayah kekuasaan patriarki yang mengekang kebebasan dan identitas perempuan.
