culture, by definition, is based on distinctions, demarcations and hierarchies, where some aspects of nature are included and others excluded. In culture, rules transform a woman into a wife, and a man into a husband. The transcendental gaze looks at all rules as artificial and hence delusions. Such a gaze is unable to distinguish between woman and wife. That is why Shiva does not feel awkward offering his wife to Ravana. That is why the child born of the third eye is unable to recognise his mother and overpower his incestuous designs.
