of social location on epistemic content and capacity can be felt throughout our epistemic practices shaping not only the way in which we understand the world but also the way in which it is presented to us via experiences think about it like this you woke up to a building and enter to the doors because you know it's the entrance after you finish your business within that building you leave and go about dress every day a person in a wheelchair comes up to the same building but can't go through the entrance because there is no wheelchair accessibility they are left to either a not enter the

possible to encourage others who finding themselves in a modular system to win fighting for better circumstances the idea of standpoints and using personal experiences as a teaching mechanism is that something that is strictly dedicated to Marxism feminism or any other theory each of us whenever we are marginalized or privileged have experiences that can be shared with others as long as the focus of this teaching moments is to create a standpoint that benefits all it is a method of teaching that will eventually lead to society and equality even if in a privileged position one must see themself
