There are far fewer of quality, not just because they were prevented from engaging intellectually for centuries (Which is a factor), it’s also because any kind of exceptionalism whether it by physical, financial, intellectual or influential sources conveys an advantage to attract mates, men compete for women not the other way around (this is also why a lot of successful female writers were lesbians or bi) and so men are more likely to show exceptionalism because they might need to in order to reproduce. /lit/‘s attitude is a response to the modern opinion that women are just as likely to be exceptional in writing as men, they aren’t, the most famous female philosopher ever may be Ayn Rand, imagine if the most famous male philosopher was Lacan, it would be embarrassing to say it represented lots of exceptionalism.

I actually have, and I agree with much of her views on equality and freedom for women. I also believe most people today would agree with her, but third wave feminism has given feminists such a bad name that many steer well away from it all.

That said, she did not live by her words, other than maybe not having children (which she believed was bad for women).

She did have a nice T H I C C butt though, gotta give her that.
