A time where i've been in the situation of hegemony was during volleyball season in 9th grade. My volleyball couch would ask us if we had any ideas to change our rotation so we'll have more coverage on the court. Some of us had very good ideas, such as more people on back row, or using a libro. He got very angry and started yelling at us. He told he was keeping it the same and he made us run a JILLION laps!!!!!! Okay, I'm exaggerating... more like 5, but it felt like a jillion.
ANYWAY... The point is. Hegemony is soooooo unfair and very lame. Why ask for someones opinion of you're just going to get upset and shut their idea down. To me, its a loose loose situation. You could either:
1. Give that person of higher authority a very good idea that makes a lot of sense just to get your feelings hurt and told no in a very harsh way...
or
2. Sit there quietly and potentially make the person of higher authority even more angry by refusing to speak.
See, there's no way of winning when it comes to hegemony. :(
