In Tuesday’s class some of my fellow human classmates, Shaun, and Kyle, were infuriated at the point, why men of their generation are getting flak because of their forefathers? And meanwhile, R.B., kept on probing, “What’s the solution?” Not to mention Steve-O’s ranting and raving down there in blog cyberspace! It is so obvious, Feminism and the “Other”, are still controversial topics. Their questions and commentary have been floating in my head ever since class, and I can't shake it off. First, recognizing there is a problem instead of always shaking it off is one of many steps to multiple solutions. I mean there is a “problem” isn’t there? Can we all at least acknowledge that? Or are we all just arguing about nothing? Furthermore, alternatively there is not just one solution, as the patriarchy has led us to believe.
I suppose we’re all tired of the limited roles that the signs of the patriarchal hegemony has gagged and bounded us to: man, woman, girl, boy, Black, White, Hispanic, straight, gay, heterosexual, homosexual, facts, science, lies, truths, answers, hypothesizes, possibilities, assumptions, potentials, weak, strong, red, yellow, white, green, blue; face it, these are just defining noun heads with its describing and limiting parts of speech “crafting our reality for us”(Dr.John DeNigis,Leadership and Management Class Lecture).
There are flaws in this metanarrative structure of the patriarchy, it has a binary system that destroys the nature that science can’t hide: man/woman, male/female, hermaphrodite/hermaphrodite; thus, this is where the system falters; this is where it hesitates and exposes its flaws, for the whole world to see, through the speech of the patriarchy. hooks declares, the present narrative of racism in western culture has been socially converted not transformed:
"And even though the focus is often on the ways that this past was “superior” to the present, this cultural narrative relies on the stereotypes of the “primitive,” even as it eschews the term, to evoke a world where black people were in harmony with nature and with one another. This narrative is linked to white western conceptions of the dark Other, not to a radical questioning of those representations"(M 370).

A social reform of the Other can not take place until the language used to represent human beings as a whole is altered. Macherey affirms hooks declaration, by acknowledging the presence of prejudice already embedded in language, transcended to us through speech and writing:
"A prejudice is that which is not judged in language but before it, but which nevertheless offered as a judgment. Prejudice, the pseudo-judgment, is the utterance which remains imperceptibly beyond language. Yet this proposition has two meanings: speech evokes a prejudice as judgment; but equally, by the fact of evocation, it holds it up as a prejudice. It creates an allegory of judgment. And speech exists because it wishes for this allegory whose appearance it prepares for" (C 19).

Human beings often miss out on all types of opportunities for love, be it romantic or platonic; due to what only appears to be minute vocabulary;however,really are astronomical monstrous ideologies lurking and hiding behind those little itty bitty words(now that sounds like a bully to me)…
He let go…
For only I alone could find the essentials elements of me…
And even though it was there all along; the outside space had displaced my real insides…
Positioning of the political undermines us personally!
Alterity, tear off the construction smothering our realities…
The Ones’ that stifles our individualities…
and binds them to Generic Type Personalities...
Trapping and holding our mentalities to a degreeless SEVERITY…
And then, has the audacity to claim that’s rational sanity?!?
“Crazy”, “paroles” the untamable and the under-domesticated!
Even the “materialisticities” have a higher subverted place in our realities…
Brand Names: Persons, Places, And Things…
I let go, and stopped hiding behind those signs, you know!
Nor, will I allow them to hang signs above my head so low…
That hanging STILL takes the life out of me..
Without my instincts I’m brain dead, ya see...
So we let go, in order to embrace and accept love in its many forms, at love’s fullest capacity, without barring or limiting its potentialities!
Each reality is an individualized masterpiece, not a generalized photocopy!
Only we have the ability to paint our own realities.
The only “CULTure” that accurately represents the human race is humanity.

May Peace Be With You All!
POMO RULES!
HOOH RA!
