Baldwin writes very clear, people prefer to relate with obscenity rather than reality. But because obscenity doesn't reward they get bitter and mean.
It's like people want to believe in sex as the ultimate communication and are disappointed when the body they fuck does things that hurt them. No one should be surprised this happens if they don't bother or dare to relate to the actual individual and reality.

If you havent gotten to a point in your relationship where your partner is angry at you for not fitting their expectations for your gender and went through it together you are still living by that gender role and not really your life.

Everyone holds one or the other believe as to how that gender is supposed to be and the relationship is not for the individual unless we face these.

Communism cannot be prescribed from up.
Communism is what happens when men and women stop playing cis domination and submission games.
Communism needs sovereign individuals who are able to articulate self-determined opinions based on individual experiences.
communism is nothing else than democracy with people who own their lifes

The more opportunities we have in life the lower is our tolerance for cognitive dissonance.

We just walk away.

Instead of trying to fix this worldview-reality gap we act as if the person displaying it doesn't exist.

That's peak selfishness.

No community and especially no democracy can survive such behavior

If a global society is ever supposed to work the colonizers have to stop being colonizers and become accountable self-determined citizen

and

the colonized have to stop being tribal and naively cling their groups just because they are used to be collective identities and become accountable self-determined citizen.

The fear to be different is really the fear to be a sovereign individual. To refuse to be determined by the other gender's demands. That's how people refuse to be truly individual and remain dependant. What makes someone different is to be bravely oneself.
Since people are too coward to do that they depend on outside orientation. For men it is typically what the economy demands. For women it's typically what men demand.

I love oyeyemi for loving people

maybe she would disagree but what I mean is she loves what humans could be

how diverse their life's could be
how diverse their motivations
and how just all those motivations could be even if they are slightly trespassing .

If only we, especially the heterosexuals, would not make it our religion to increase our net worth or please each other, or suck up to bosses and kick those subordinate.

If our windows of imagination and motivations where not so limited.
Because we don't feel our lives

if only we d dare to feel and relate with real feelings and not translate everything into a comparison of ownership, wealth and fame.
