Another possibility is personae and masks. But this would involve a
notion of personae that exceeds the narrow category usually assigned to
personae by masculinist thought to dramatic monolog, for example. This
easily allows an interrogation of limited concepts such as introjection
as an unquestioned belief in Kantian transcendental idealism.
Not being capable of subtle thought demanded by the Masters of
discourse, those who deny they are CIA agents, who have their heads high
up in the vaporous wisps, unquestioned Masters who demand they must not
be questioned, for whom sexism and homophobia do not exist, go stick
your Masculinist heads up your fucking arseholes.
