Why have there been almost no female philosophers?
>I'm expecting more of an answer than just "women don't have depth and can't think"
I agree with the above phrase, but there's gotta be a deeper answer. Also, do you think this is why women cling so hard to the feminist/abortion arguments? Does their intellectual capacity stop at their selfish needs?
I do have to be fair and acknowledge one female philosopher who I tend to sometimes agree with
>Ayn Rand

Women are the niggers of gender.
Ayn Rand
She's one of the very few respectable women in politics
I don't think women are sentient in the same way men are.
There's a famous example of this.
Imagine a drive you go on frequently, or a hike you've done many times. As a man you can replay the entire thing in your mind. Every bush, every mailbox, it's literally like replaying GoPro footage.
Women can't do that. To remember how to get from Point A to Point B, women can't replay the whole journey, they instead can only remember a chain of landmarks. Busted mailbox, crooked tree, dented stop sign, house with picket fence. They're following a trail of mental breadcrumbs. Images they know go in sequence and if they can recreate this sequence they know they're going the right direction.
This is completely different from male navigation. We don't remember breadcrumb type images, we remember the whole journey, every detail, as if it were a movie.
It makes you wonder what other shortcuts the female brain is making. Are their thoughts on philosophy, inner struggle, self deprivation, all the stuff that goes through a mans head when he really sits down and thinks about the human condition, do women really see all of that? Or do they only see the breadcrumb version of it?
This is very well articulated. I have had this thought many times without being able to express it. I used to make a joke (not so much a funny joke but a sensible one) that females have to tell stories through dialogue i.e. "he said she said." While men generally state the sequence of events.
I do think women perceive life completely different. Their reality is based on different things then men's. Obviously reality is objective and constant, but they interpret and process these things in a much different way.
I think your analysis is so accurate because if they don't see the bigger picture in things, or they lack the ability to process am event in its entirety, and instead process it on "landmarks" or "checkpoints" it makes it difficult to out pieces together and correlate events to one another. In this case it would also give them extremely bad foresight and understand cause and effect. It would also make justifying certain acts more complicated, and add to their stereotype of having double standards.
no need to think for themselves, therefore no need to philosophize. Of course there are exceptions, but honestly only Ayn Rand comes to mind. Hildegard Von Bingen was pretty incredible but I've only seen/read her art, I have no idea if she wrote philosophy. Aside from that, can't think of any others
How old are you btw? No offence I've just read these same anecdotes about a hundred times each
>women see the world differently
>he said she said
>women are interested in people, men in things
etc. It's nice you're figuring this out but this is something most people realized many years ago
I'm 21. This isn't a new realization, it's just the first time I'm putting it in the context of philosophy. I've been redpilled on this topic for about 2 and a half years now and put quite a lot of thought into it at the time. But I haven't exposed myself to many females in the past 6 months and I'm talking to one again who said something that resparked my interest in it.
Philosophy as a career has been in sharp decline since the 1880's because Progressive movements were extremely distrustful of traditional philosophy.
If you can't figure out why there haven't been many women in a field that sharply declined starting just before the 20th Century, you're probably a Progressive.
Only Adam was made in the image of God.
A progressive would say women weren't philosophical because "muh gender oppression in fields of academia"
You're confused.
Is that grown up nevada-tan?
Ah well, tread lightly with the women. Avoid talking about this shit at all unless you're already familiar/comfortable. Try not to sound smart either, I know that seems weird but nothing dries up a woman like 4+ syllable words.
Mentioning this stuff to a woman is usually taken as a direct insult to their very existence and is a great way to make people hate you.
Don't be obtuse, user.
Yea ive noticed that. When I first went through this "metamorphosis" I was in a 3 year relationship. I was so blown away by understanding the differences between men and women. Arrogant me decided to try and discuss it with my gf at the time. Obviously you are right about how she took it lol.
I barely delved into talking about the innuendos of a "deeper meaning" regarding a movie I saw with this new girl and she just said "I really don't care desu."
>At least she was straightforward
Men lead.
Women follow.
This is how it is.
>I don't really care desu
tell me about it, I took a girl to see bladerunner 2049 and the exact moment the movie ended she turned to me and said "that was boring". It was my second time seeing it but I was still blown away by everything - she could not care less. Funny enough I've heard a similar "review" from every female I know who's seen it as well
>inb4 taste is subjective
>implying bladerunner 2049 isn't pure kino
Then who's the jew?
I told my SO that philosophy is the last bastion of true masculinity. It's true. Modernism is shit and all you LARPtards need to die.
There have been lots. However for a long time women werent allowed to be educated, so unsurprisingly little philosophy existed before a certain time. However in the very upper classes it wasnt unheard of, especially around the time of the french revolution. Since the 20th century however there have been a lot of women philosophers. Fucking hell there is a stereotype about all gender studies peeps being women and thats a thriving field of research.
This woman would like to have a word with you.
>thinking women can consider things beyond their next instagram pic
>thriving field of research.
regurgitated irrational dogma more like
Not particularly, its a field about how people express themselves and identify themselves with things, and how these identities impact societal power structures
Which no man will ever read.
Therefore it might aswell cease to exist.
don't spew your sjw propaganda on here cunt
Except that people do read it. Thats why trans people are now things, for better or for worse people read it and it becomes policy
George Elliot, She is a writer of course but has very profound philosophical inside. I read MiddleMarch on Kindle and highlighted something insanely "deep" on almost every other page.
Good post
...
They're all to busy with their gender studies and black dance studies majors to actually think outside of what the education system spoon feeds them.
Women are one step below dolphins.
Theano is the only other I can think of.
Women only have feelings not logic. Don't spent too much effort thinking about this.
Also metaphysics has been dead since Derrida, so dont be expecting anymore Kants to pop up. And a lot of "philosophy" has been split into different schools, like analytic philosophy where they specialise on a select few things, rather than making broad strokes across all fields. So you would have to specifically look in fields to find people
>women are interested in people not things
>women don't want to be ostracized, so they can't follow the truth wherever it lies
>women can't handle negative emotions, so they can't ponder existential questions
>women can't focus on one thing for a long time
>women can't deal with disagreements without taking it personally
>women care about perception and not substance
It's the IQ bell curve, in part.
There's never going to be much going on in the field of gender studies when only 1 side of the equation (men) can mentally comprehend the entirety of the human experience.
Women essentially think with emotions and men with logic. Logic can bring reasoning to emotions but emotions yield no reason. Therefore women will NEVER understand.
The same reason there are almost no female serial killers or ultra-retards.
Women occupy closer to the average IQ; meaning most women are likely to have a similar but average IQ that doesn't stray far from the norm.
Whereas men collectively have the same IQ as women, they are more likely to occupy the extremes of that mean; so women might sway between the 90-110 range of IQ, with a few going to 80-120 and fewer at 70-130, men are far more likely to be hitting the 50-150 mark; you'll get deranged blithering idiots but you'll also get hyper intellectuals.
Gonna wait for a citation there.
Women are social creatures. Cavemen hunted in groups only to take down large animals so normally it would just be 1-2 Cavemen going out hunting and about 5 groups of them at once, while the CaveWomen gathered materials in large groups and took care of the children in groups.
Which is why they value interactions and social appearances more then men do.
Higher thought or different thinking is punished in large groups as apposed to small groups, since humans are proven to think less as the group grows bigger.

All smarter than you, and in various political and social climates where their access to formal education and academia was restricted.
I said no MAN. Feminist SJW womyn, nu-male cucks and trannies don't count as male. It's all an echo chamber.
These studies, papers, research etc. are only a thing because at some poiny in time, a man reasoned that if he gave the women their little cause and their funding they would shut up about it and maybe have sex with him.
>I said no MAN.
Nice no true scotsman there.
They exist because people question things, and now its becoming gov policy, so at some point it may be helpful to open your eyes and stop dismissing fields. You are legally bound now in some cases to live your life according to what they write, so get over yourself
Citation is my ass, but you know i'm right.
no citation
no right
Thats how research goes
this
Das so mean I'm a womyn and my iq is about trefiddy
b-but she ded
Just because some cuck or feminist beauracrat has managed to get some bullshit regulation in place regarding women problems doesn't mean I have to give a shit or respect it. I think it's a disgrace and a colossal waste of money.
Also: faggot detected. You gonna marry your boyfriend yet cunt
sauce?
If you dont respect it you get put in jail. So if you respect the law, you respect what goes into making the laws, whether you like it or not.
Commendable trolling, very subtle yet succulent.
Yea it's truly remarkable. I've met one girl who had the ability to analyze and hold an interesting conversation. She was a religious Christian and we would also entertain differing ideas and mentally spar. Then over a course of 3 weeks (it seemed) she started questioning her religion and at the same time quickly becoming a SJW feminist type. Very hard to watch. Out of that came her inability to think rationally anymore and she just seemed like she stopped caring. Really weird stuff. It actually corrupted her like a disease, spreading over her personality and filling in her depth with plastic sand.
its straight fax b
women can't interpret higher planes of thinking like satire, sarcasm, and metaphor
expecting a female to philosophize is like expecting your refrigerator to suck your dick
Women are more social and very few spend as much time alone thinking alone when compared to men
That's cool. I don't care that there are women philosophers. Not really doubting they exist. I have to read a list on Wikipedia to know any of their names. My question is why is that? Why have almost none of them had a revelation or life's work that was studied or known across multiple continents?
Very subtle, 8/10.
Things women will NEVER understand:
>honour
>sacrifice
>brotherhood
>humour
>physics
>how to fix or repair anything
>parking
>maps
>geopolitics
>heroism & bravery
>construction
>the offside rule
>symphonies

>blade runner
>resilience

>existentialism
>the art of the deal

Just fuck off back to tumblr, fucking faggot. All this nonsense you're spewing holds any relevance only in declining western socities, the rest of the world knows that it's all just a useless trash. This shit is unsustainable and exist only through leeching on the legacy of once successful socities, and once they fall you will fallow them.
>Women are the niggers of gender.
And just like nogs, women need to be GIVEN an self-identity from an external source, at the present time it's Hollywood, reality tv and Disney movies for the skanks, and BET and cRap videos for the niggers. They NEED to be told how to act and what to think by those their perceive as their personal "authority". It's the same with Chirstcucks and gaytheists.
Have you ever tried to explain to a woman why a deeply held belief of hers is incorrect? What was the result?
This is why there are no female philosophers.
What kind of fucking commie shithole do you live in where you can't just ignore women
Ayn Rand isn't a woman she's a kike.
You cant just ignore the law can you, and feminists write laws.
Jesus what the fuck happened to her. Where did she contract this mind virus.
This post read like a leftist twitter parody of you guys lmao
Literally who: the list.
Any retard can be a philosopher - the trick is to be influential. Where is the female Kant?
there are some things women arent built for
Jewish psychopathy isnt a philosophy
women have been for the most part denied higher education until like the 19th century or later.
he turned her to the dark side
THIS
Someone hasn't read their Kybalion.
>raising children
>cooking to feed a family
Meanwhile men do nothing, so they have time to think. What's the surprise?
>As a man you can replay the entire thing in your mind. Every bush, every mailbox, it's literally like replaying GoPro footage.
I've never been able to do this, I can't remember the most basic directions and will end up 30 minutes away from a place that's a mile away from where I live
Do I have a w*man brain?
Name one feminist woman who has actually written an enacted law herself in a real country.
I specified regulations because that is the most likely conduit to push a fringe agenda (SJW braindead feminism) into action through the backdoor of a beauracracy. Most western parliaments are white male dominated and would never waste time or energy on ratifying this shit beyond lip service.
Regulations can be ignored.
And laws can be repealed.
nah that guys heart is in the right place but the difference between men and womens brains has nothing to do with memory
Yeah because look how well it turned out for everyone after. Women are more depressed and suicidal than ever.
For context, at the time I lived in California.
I think it was a bunch of little things all at once. Around that time, one of her good friends moved there from Indiana who also used to be very religious Christian. She got him a job there and she learned that he goes to Raves and takes a ton of drugs. Then we started getting a few more coworkers who identified as "pansexual" and "asexual." The asexual guy used to be a Mormon and spoke out against it quite a lot.
I think her just slowly being exposed to this stuff made her question everything her mom taught her (oh yea, I forgot.. Her dad died when she was like 17). She was still a redpilled right wing girl for years after her dad died though.
What sucked is I saw her mom like every week come into the restaurant and she still thought her daughter believed in Christianity. The girl would lie to her face and then complain about how her mom has something stuck up her butt. At one point this girl didn't want her mom to know that she was dating some edge lord kid and asked everyone to keep it from her.
She used to be such a down to earth and pure person and now she's an angry, shortsighted, emotional feminist.
Judith Butler wrote undoing gender, which is a cornerstone of modern feminism. As such her work is found a lot in legislation involved trans peeps. Basically everytime some dude with a dick wears a dress and calls himself a woman WHICH YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND TO ACCEPT you have her to thank.
>men do nothing
>literally built everything
You mean that jew?
however a lot are able to get a career pursuing their passions in whatever field due to higher education.
Oh great another cunt i've never heard of and a book i'll never read. I don't have to accept shit. Trannies are disgusting. You live in a make believe country.
The same thing happened to this girl I know, she was brilliant and was the only girl I knew who could banter about post-post-absurdist humor and discuss philosophy.
Second year of college she joined a sorority and became a different person overnight. Got blackout drunk almost every day and became a "soulless white girl" stereotype, unable to talk about anything other than frat drama in a forced Cali accent. Not long ago I hung out with her, she got drunk and broke down saying she hated who she'd become and felt like it was all a lie, but she believed it was the only way to fit in (which it kind of is, her only friends in high school were me and a few other autists).
I've concluded that it's not women that are dumber or anything like that, but social pressure makes them act like retards. There are plenty of genius women who have avoided it, but they're naturally so much more concerned with being accepted by their peer groups that it's very easy for them to fall into the trap of artificial normiedom.
It's sad really. She let on that there were other girls who felt the same way, but after a certain point they didn't know how to live any other way than as a Stacy, because they feared letting go of the praise that comes with sucking up to social expectations.
> I don't have to accept shit
Yeah you fucking do. Because if you call that dude in a dress a dude you get sent to prison.
because the patriarchy doesn't exist...
If women had their hands full with raising children and cooking, and men were doing nothing - how exactly did humanity get to the point where we can send Probes to the outer edge of our solar system? Black Female Magic?
I don't know why *you* don't know any of their names, I'm familiar with several and I only have a passing interest in philosophy. I would be interested to hear what qualifies as a 'revelation or life's work' to you, but women were mostly shuttered from academia until after many of the most historically lauded
European philosophers had died, and political repression made it challenging for them to contribute in any field for a very long time. People like you discredit almost all modern philosophical work and especially any work that intersects with sociology, feminist theory, political theory or economic theory, so several of the modernists on the list probably wouldn't qualify for you. Regardless, you would never try to take them seriously in the first place based on your pseudoscientific ideas about women's brain function. All of that together would be my guess as to why you haven't heard of their ideas or contributions.
Wow so they get a career. Big woop. They'll never achieve as much wealth, status or recognition as a man could on individual merit and will hit the wall at the latest of 30 (more likely 27) whilst their ovaries scream for children. If they miss that last chance to have kids they'll die bitter and alone after riding the cock carousel for 3 decades.
I know its just a meme but i feel this pic belongs in this thread
I think for some girls it's the pressure but I don't think it's the reason for so many girls thinking the same way. It's not a hive mind mentality I don't think. Reason being is because you can actually measure affects of hormones. If you read testimonies about girls taking testosterone, they'll tell you after a week of taking it they've reached an amount of clarity that they didn't before (they actually use that word, clarity).
Some females have noticed that when they get angry, post testosterone, they tend to keep it held in and don't speak of it. Then when they do get pushed to the limit they lash out. Whereas girls don't typically lash out because they complain in increments throughout the day.
Obviously this is anecdotal and there are exceptions, but it's no phenomenon or crazy belief. I think it's at least a very real possibility that testosterone gives you some form of clarity that estrogen can't.
Ever try to philosophize about dumb shit with your girlfriend? They have no interest in it.
Listen you retard. If something has value humans wouldve recognized it long ago. Women arent thinkers. No man not pretending to be a feminist to get in your pants cares what a woman wrote. Feminism, gender theory, all of that is self serving bullshit
>Wow so they get a career. Big woop.
Yes. Big woop indeed, seeing as a career is the way towards independence and upwards mobility, which is in fact the very reason that breaking feudalism was so important for a very long time under classical liberalism
>They'll never achieve as much wealth, status or recognition as a man could on individual merit

Men are also more depressed and suicidal than ever and neither can be linked directly to women's education, dipshit.
