“I have not heard of an-” you’re not listening or reading
MF hasn’t read a book since 10th grade, and their last one was the sparknotes of The Great Gatsby.
If you’ve never heard of Simone de Beauvoir that means you’ve never heard of Sartre which means you’re not well versed in western philosophy at all, like you’ve barely read anything.
And also I thought reactionaries all knew about feminists like bell hooks, Eve Sedgwik, Judith Butler, and Andrea Dworkin? I thought reactionaries viewed them as like mortal enemies.
Reactionaries aren’t really bitching specifically about ‘feminists’ as much these days. They just say ‘woke’ now.
Reactionaries only know names that they’ve been repeatedly told are bad. The moment the repetition stops the association fades.
their mortal enemy is people with colored hair
Ayn Rand stans in shambles
It says a lot that I didn’t even think of her.
I have the feeling many in her fanbase haven’t even bothered looking her up and realizing she’s a woman, and a foreigner, at that. The name isn’t stereotipically female so they might just assume it was a dude.
‘A Russian woman educated by communists. An immigrant and a welfare recipient, sounds pretty damn woke’
They always love a defector to reassure them about the superiority of American capitalism.
but that’s just a fiction writer not a philosopher
them probably?
Simone Beauvoir? Simone Weil? Hildegard of Bingen?
I will admit that women philosophers don’t get a lot of credit though.
It’s also one of the most male dominated academic fields outside of mint
:geordi-no: “i have never heard of any female philosopher like, not one”
:geordi-yes: women philosophers don’t get a lot of credit though.
In addition to all the usual suspects folks have mentioned, there are some more big names worth pointing out.
-
Elizabeth Anscombe coined the term “consequentialism” and was one of the most influential moral theorists in the history of the world.
-
Simone Weil wrote a lot of interesting socialist theory.
-
Martha Nussbaum (and her student Christine Korsgaard) have done tons of great work on both Ancient philosophy and moral/political philosophy.
-
Mary Wollstonecraft’s work on feminism and equality was foundational to our modern understanding.
-
Nancy Cartwright was one of the best philosophers of science of the 20th century, period. A Dappled World is just brilliant.
-
Judith Thompson was a towering moral philosopher who wrote probably the most influential piece on abortion rights ever
-
Heather Douglas is one of my favorite living philosophers of science, and has some brilliant things to say about the relationship between science and society/values
-
Wendy Parker has some of the best recent work on the foundations of climate science around
There are so many. That’s all just contemporary people.
I like Bart Simpson too but I wouldn’t call his voice actor a “philosopher” :p
Oh man, I never even thought of that. That is weird.
-
I don’t know that many female philosophers, and I recognize that as being my shortcoming rather than an indication of some essential quality of women.
That being said, top of mind, no googling:
- Simone de Beauvoir
- Hannah Arendt
- Hildegard of Bingen
Checkmate, fragile males.
It’s because these people don’t study philosophy at all, they’re just shallowly aware of the popular ones. If one studies or especially reads modern philosophy works there are way more women doin’ philosophy stuff.
“oh yeah? who is the female Einstein, checkmate leftist!”
My vote would be Emmy Noether.
no way they could name more than two philosophers anyway lol
Plato and that other guy
Soccer tees?
Not since Michael Jordan played baseball has such a career pivot been more coldly received
Also, wasn’t one of Socrates tutors a woman who was executed for the crime of being a woman and right?
Per standard liberal theory the blame for oppression falls on the victims
Do you mean Diotima of Mantinea? She wasn’t executed.
I think you might be conflating Hypatia and Diotima, or I missed a philosopher.
Nah, I am half remembering two seperate things and squishing them together
Understandable
Is that the n-word recording? 😬
its the p-word recordingWait, what do you mean?
Riley Reid made a rap song where she drops a bunch of n-words. It’s made everyone very uncomfortable.
To be ironic or? 😬 😬 😬 😬
ironic use of the nword?
I mean I expect little from her, especially with her methods of re entering the adult industry through OF, but still never expected that from her
And why exactly do you think little of her because of her being in the adult industry?
Not adult industry but that it seems like she’s doing her own version of the bop house.
he specifically mentioned her methods of using OF as the issue, not being in the adult industry
I mean I expect little from her, especially with her methods of re entering the adult industry through OF, but still never expected that from her
yes
Idk if that makes it more reasonable why grok said it was Erica?
Real
Who in the fuck is Mister Serika Kirk?
