Latent Orientalism produced a gendered, patriarchal framing of the Orient

Evidence

But there were other uses for latent Orientalism. If that group of ideas allowed one to separate Orientals from advanced, civilizing powers, and if the “classical” Orient served to justify both the Orientalist and his disregard of modern Orientals, latent Orientalism also encouraged a peculiarly (not to say invidiously) male conception of the world. — Edward W. Said, Orientalism, 517
