These rules are those followed by manstream logic. They ignore the
realities of people whose lives are full of contradictions. For
example, I can both love and hate something. I can have confidence
and doubt in myself. These rules deny me a form of expression. I
think that everyone can find that they have some contradictions
between their emotions and their "rational" minds. These rules do not
allow for resolution of these contradictions. We need a new paradigm,
one which allows for, in fact demands, that we address the emotional
and the logical. And any other factors I have not included.
That is how I see these rules, this very traditional patriarchal
system of knowledge, as oppressive.
