It is profoundly interesting how Judeo-Christian culture does not pay attention to the nature or the legacy of anybody's experiences (or whether these be positive or negative).
It presumes to draw all of its information about the world by reading into (that is, projecting into) the ostensible "inner nature" of any individual, which logically (and except for generalising and/or stereotyping) it is materially impossible for any of its representatives to know.
The shamanistic tradition, however (Nietzsche, Bataille, Marechera), is concerned overtly with experiences and their value.

But in feminist theory experience is primary, and theory arises from practice (and not the other way around).
