When they speak, it is scientific. When we speak, it is unscientific. When they speak, it is universal. When we speak, it is specific. When they speak, it is objective.

When we speak, it is partial. They have facts, we have opinions. They have knowledge, we have experiences. We are not dealing here with a 'peaceful coexistence of words,' but rather with a violent hierarchy, which defines Who Can Speak, and What We Can Speak About.
