quotes from other people's children by lisa delpit:
"when de-emphasizing power, there is a move toward indirect communication."
"when acknowledging and expressing power, one tends towards explicitness."
"liberals.
. . seem to act under the assumption that to make any rules or
expectations explicit is to act against liberal principles, to limit the
freedom & autonomy of those subjected to the explicitness."
from critical theory & practice: a coursebook edited by keith green & jill lebihan
"granted that it might be difficult for womyn to find a stylistic 'space' that is not occupied by men, what emerges is a kind of definition that is still marked by the presence of men, in that they provide the 'norm' for the resulting anti-norm. if men's style is 'rational', womyn's must therefore by 'emotional', even 'irrational'; if 'logical' then womyn's must be 'illogical', and so on. and while it may be praiseworthy to turn negative attributions into positive. . . the resulting discourse can still give the impression of reinforcing all the stereotypical images of womyn's discourse and style..." - katie wales
