Chicano leadership want the numbers Chicanas provide but not necessarily the ideas that come with las mujeres. While Chicano ideology suggests love of land and nation, Chicanas question the ideology offering that the idealistic, romanticized and unrealistic vision has a foundation of mixed truths with little or no acknowledgement of the gender inequities experienced by Chicanas. The Chicanos in the academy and the community believe themselves to have the answers, discounting the possibility that they are one leg up (from Chicanas) on the Sandovalian hierarchy of rule. The Chicanas, as carriers of culture (ask Evey Chapa) do not willingly agree to take supporting roles—again. Chicanas feel the strength and sting of Baldwin's identity awareness rock, setting out to do something about their identity development.
  
  However Wright’s Epiphenomenal interpellation offers that not every Chicana responds to Chicano oppression in the same way. Some say nothing, others are vocal in their resistance both directly and indirectly, engaging in performative acts of writing, articles, corridos, bibliographies, essays, and poetry. Others engage in performative actions, demanding time at conferences to address issues of oppression, banging on tables in organizational meetings, learning to swear and drink beer with the Chicanos in earnest displays of female machismo in the hopes of carving out spaces where Chicana identity can co-exist.
