Complicated Intersections

I have decided to expand on the last paper and discuss the "complicated intersections" that evolve when trying to decipher "irrational/logical" explanations in the public sphere. We need to consider logical and ethical values and still consider those who may be trying to 'dummy' us 'down'. How many genres can we accept in the public sphere without it becoming disfunctional? Gays, women, and blacks were not considered an appropriate part of the public sphere until after a vote could establish them as a nation. Habermas' ideal public sphere only considered white, educated males as a logical part of the public sphere therefore; their voices dominate all others nations. This is where these intersections come into play when dealing with genre in the public sphere to determine the most logical and rational decisions for a nation. Do you think I said 'public sphere' enough?
