Why are there so few women, historically as well as contemporarily, in philosophy? A quick google search appears to put the blame primarily on discrimination, sexual abuse on women students and philosophers which disincline women to go into philosophy, refusal of men in academia to mentor female students, and so on--systemic discrimination against women, in short. The consensus seems to be that it's because of men that women are under-represented in philosophy; but I'm not so sure people are really honest is their assessment, for saying anything otherwise in the current climate will result in social censure and possible ostracisation. But it can't be as simple as that, can it?
(Disclaimer: I want to make it clear that I don't think equal parity in academia--or in any field, for that matter--is desirable or necessary; and I think there's no reason to nudge women towards philosophy. I'm simply curious.)
