Ali manipulating talk of hierarchies to fit her own agenda ... to Dean who is a willing and spineless onlooker.
Ali's sense of not being good enough is okay I g out as the patriarchy is against her .
Very interesting that she is using Eric Berne's theory of 'Games people Play' to justify her position .
She is also using transactional theory of roles people play to her advantage.
If you work in her field its frightening to see how she is using knowledge of peoples patters to manipulate her own version of events.
