The dominance of a particular conception of "reason" itself—usually the Enlightenment ideal of dispassionate, analytic, individual cognition—over all other modes of thought and understanding. Reason hegemony operates when this specific style of thinking is treated as the pinnacle of human cognition, and all other modes (emotional intelligence, embodied wisdom, relational knowing, intuitive insight) are relegated to lower status. It's the cultural assumption that the most "reasonable" person is the one who reasons like a Western philosopher, and that other ways of making sense of the world are merely primitive precursors to "real" thought.
Example: "The committee valued the candidate's cold analytic memoranda while dismissing the warm, contextually rich reports from field workers—a classic case of reason hegemony mistaking one cognitive style for intelligence itself."

Get the Reasonable Crash Out mug.To add some context, a “Crashout” is used to describe what happens when someone gets so mad they lose their composure. In turn, a “Reasonable Crashout” is when someone loses their composure but for a justifiable reason. The term “Reasonable Crashout” works to further describe the situation as not all Crashouts are considered viable and normally but the perpetrator of the Crashout in a negative light,however, a “Reasonable Crashout” automatically shows that the people who aought to be blamed are the people who caused the person to Crashout and not the person Crashing out themselves.
NOTE: Reasonable Crashout is also sometimes called a Necessary Crashout
