[lbo-talk] Prose Style, was Time to Get Religion

[Eric]

Isn't criticizing people for not writing "clear" prose really 
criticizing them for not adhering to a norm? And isn't this norm 
developed within a society that privileges the white, the male, the 
heterosexual, and the European? Why are, eg, Spivak and Butler 
supposed to write like Chomsky, Orwell, and Bertrand Russell?
