Too many challenges, too little alternatives and conclusions. Hooray on hating on logocentrism and binary oppositions, but it leaves you at literally fucking nowhere and deconstruction doesn't really help just because meaning becomes uncontrollable and every bastard can use it to justify his shitty views. Unless anyone can prove how phonocentrism is significant or important, I will stay away from poststructuralists for a while.

hate is such a subjective social construct. i prefer to say it's problematic.

It's certainly very difficult to truly grasp, but I don't hate it.
Besides, Deconstruction and Post-structuralism are both more like the footnotes of literary theory - always good to keep in the back of your mind when writing critically, but ultimately futile given that they uproot the entire idea of meaning contained within a text.
