Has there ever been a serious woman metaphysicist? There have been a few ethicists but that seems to be about as far up the hierarchy of being as they can stretch their minds.

It isn't though.
Ontology is a part of metaphysics.
The two aren't exactly the same.

No, metaphysics was originally a set of ontology books by Aristotles, so you see that methaphysics may be considered part of the ontology.

I just listened to a totally unimpressive lady philosopher who took part in this show on free will:

She talked about how she's afraid of spiders.

>Does anyone else out there have the experience of feeling bad whenever you argue against or attempt to disprove the thesis of a female philosopher? I do. I want other female philosophers to be respected and respectable—which is what I want to be as well. It feels almost like betrayal.

Women would likely be more into being something aimless, hopeless, and hopelessly pathetic: Like theology.

I would consider ethics to be capable of that, but Theology is not needed since it offers nothing unique besides that which is not useful to science or society as a whole
