I will assume that you are posting this as a "tongue in cheek", thread. So calling you a fool would be inappropriate.

Jeez!

I thought one of you could at least come up with something more intelligent in answer to ‘why there have been no female philosophers?’

Perhaps you could have said . . .


Because woman are so wise?

As women get older they tend not to exercise their brains as much as men . . . and it results in mental decline.

No, really. I have really observed women on the whole becoming more forgetful as they get older - and blaming it on Alzheimers!!!

I was reading philosophy in my apartment foyer and the elevator came down. A woman stepped out and went to leave the building. She stopped, realised she had forgotten something and went back up the elevator.

Then the elevator came down and a different woman walked out, realised she had forgot something, and went back up.

They both came down a short while later and left the building - separately - having their handbags with them this time.

Also, I observed a woman get out of her car, deliver something from her boot, come back, close it, get in behind the wheel and sit there for a moment, negated. Then she got out again, went and got her car keys out of the lock at the back of the boot where she had left them.

No . . . I'm dead serious, wise one.

In that case, you are a fool.

There are female philosophers, they are just unknown. Since the beginning of time, we've been busy taking care of men, children, etc..and as time passed, jobs outside of the home as well.

Can any man answer this? Why are there so many dead beat dads?
The woman USUALLY carries on with the upbringing, financial part of it all....the men just leave.....what's the logic, intelligence of that for men?

Technically, I would rather be a caring loving creature rather than a human who thinks they know it all and is uncaring toward mankind.

sounds like some sort of stalker dude to me

he is just an attention monger Bubbles. He doesn't realize what the real world is like....understandable since he spends most of his time preening his ego and studying nonsense.

be gentle with him, he doesn't understand...

to answer the women and philosphy question...


There do seem to be fewer female than male philosophers, and perhaps women find philosophy too
abstract. Perhaps there is a certain personality type which is attracted to the abstract which is mainly
to be found in men. Antony Storr in Human Aggressionhas suggested that two philosophers —
Descartes and Schopenhauer — had schizoid personalities: cold, aloof, superior and detached. It
would be a plausible suggestion to say that this type is likely to be attracted to analytical philosophy.


On Nietzsche's account (and Freud and probably many others) a woman would only be a philosopher
if she goes against her nature, and there are more natural than unnatural women. That could be it!

this is also observed behavior in pot smokers, male and female.. of any age ...



pass the blunt will ya

ummm, I understand the premise and agree but the facts are, well lets say that there are also dead beat moms, to that I can attest from personal experience ...

I think you spend too much time watching women in elevators.

I was talking about percentage wise. Over the ages, men have proven to be worthless compared to women. I never said that there weren't deadbeat moms, but the majority have been and are men.
