Whenever I get into discussions with people who aren't "left wing nuts" it seems that the breaking point is this:
I firmly believe, that there is more than meets the eye. Fx a Coca-Cola is not just a soft drink. It's a selling of a way of life. And Disney is not just an innocent toy and cartoon company. They are selling hidden gender and cultural agendas, which we are all deeply influenced by.
So what I'm saying is basically that we're living in Schein, and we have to try cut to the core of the meaning of things instead of buying their superficial story.
On the other hand people I argue with seems to think that there is no hidden layer. That a doll is just a doll. That we're essentially always free. Because we haven't (at least in any significant way) been influenced by the hidden stories of fx corporate business.
So in effect: When Mary at five years of age pretends that she is a princess and thus the prince has to come save her, it becomes something which appear to be natural. The girl has to be saved by the man and so forth.
I really don't get how anyone can subscribe to the latter opinion. At least it must be hard to agree if you'r not a white male on the top of the food chain.
/rant off (maybe)
It's in cases like this I curse that I'm not able to express myself more appropriately in English. It's really annoying.
