Male Domination of Philosphy

My point is women are capable of philosophical reasoning but, they do not choose to argue deeply, in general. They usually spare those things that men dont.

This part is somehow influenced by theory of evolution that women are apparently different just because of evolution as how our parents/ancestors evolved us. I believe, nature chooses different things for men and women physically as well as inwardly.

I’m afraid I’m still not convinced by this argument, and this not necessarily a personal criticism for you. I’m pretty certain there is a theory that explains men and women are programmed for different style of debating. However such theories should not be used to discriminate against women. Even if you don’t believe men and women are equal, you must agree to men and women having the equal opportunities. The whole idea of women are not programmed to not think deeply or argue properly etc is one the main reasons why female Philosophy students face an unwelcoming, patronising and often hostile environment in the academic world. I believe it’s unfair. Female approach in Philosophy must be considered and respected, even if it’s something ‘different’.
