A trend in modern culture known as postmodernism is characterized by a rejection of objective reality and meta-narrative truth. Language, power dynamics, and motivation are all heavily emphasized by postmodernism, which specifically criticizes the use of binary distinctions like male versus female, heterosexual versus gay, white against black, and imperial versus colonial.
