If no discursive order is perfectly self-sealing, then the claim that women's otherness is always already captured commits the very metaphysical totalization it purports to criticize.

Always already(as used to say the dialectic contains this masculine logic inherently): A philosophical phrase meaning something is already the case from the very beginning, before you even start analyzing it—it's built in from the start.
captured(what the statement claims happens to women's otherness): Taken in, absorbed, or controlled by a system so completely that it can't escape or exist independently.
discursive order(the philosophical claim being made): A system of language, rules, and ideas that structure how people talk about and understand the world.
metaphysical totalization(the contradiction the statement is pointing out): A philosophical move that treats all of reality as one complete, unified whole that can be fully explained and controlled—leaving no room for genuine difference or exception.
