Piece of my essay Some friend out there said I should keep it simple and short, so here I am. Anyone willing to help correcting the grammar? (p.s. I know, and I tried to make it sounds natural, but the problem is, not being a native speaker means sometimes I don't know WHAT is natural. So if anyone can indicate which part is awkward that will be awesome!) If we are to pursue this point about castration further by combining it with the above claim that Hayley is masculine, we can find that again the idea of masculine superiority has been articulated here. Hayley not only turns Jeff into someone who is no longer able to commit crimes, but also someone who is equal with his victims, someone who has been deprived of male characteristics and feminized in this process; what’s more, he is even forced to die afterwards. In contrast, Hayley is depicted as having masculine personality. What’s the implication here? Masculinity reins over femininity. This idea is so subtle that it may not even be consciously recognized, but it nevertheless exists, and corresponds with the core of our belief system.

Piece of my essay

If we are to pursue this point about castration further by combining it with the above claim that Hayley is masculine, we can find that again the idea of masculine superiority has been articulated here. Hayley not only turns Jeff into someone who is no longer able to commit crimes, but also someone who is equal with his victims, someone who has been deprived of male characteristics and feminized in this process; furthermore, he is even forced to commit suicide / kill himself afterwards. In contrast, Hayley is depicted as having masculine personality. What is the implication here? Masculinity reigns over femininity. This idea is so subtle that it may not even be consciously recognized, but it nevertheless exists, and corresponds with the core of our belief system.

There isn't much to correct in terms of grammar!
In a formal essay it is often not acceptable to use hyphenated short forms.  Write the words in full.
