Male Domination of Philosphy

Re: Male Domination of Philosphy

@Theorist

you are arguing a different point altogether. I never said women don’t have a voice. I was also speaking historically. this repeated behavior has done a lot of damage. I simply said their opinion in certain matters have not been taken seriously or is dismissed as being childish. Men and women both are to blame for this damage. Women discouraged other women from pursuing philosophy or other disciplines because it didn’t suit them.

Of course, developing countries are another story but doesn’t mean they don’t count.

No, I was disagreeing with your assertion that women’s opinions are still considered childish or irrelevant by the vast majority of people, thereby disagreeing that this is a significant factor as to why more women aren’t visible in Philosophy. Historically, yes, this was true, although, again, I disagree with you on whether this is the case today. Nevertheless, this is an interesting question.
