| Will you please critique this small bit of philosophy of mine?
"The power relations of discourse stem from the social construction of the idealized body which turns out to be an artificial creation of discourse as such in its capacity as a performative speech act. In addition to discourse functioning as a sociogenic activity insofar as it constructs or constitutes social reality in part, knowledge as episteme further shapes the power relations of discourse which often function oppressively with respect to those deemed feminine or unfit in the material struggle for existence."
You'll notice that my philosophical comments are influenced by Michel Foucault, but the words or ideas are all mine.
