How is it that Simone Weil has been so based and yet there are men who say that women cannot think?

She could think with other people's brains, maybe.

>there are men who say that women cannot think?
They can't, unless they cease to be women.
>According to her friend and biographer, Simone Pétrement, Weil decided early in life that she would need to adopt masculine qualities and sacrifice opportunities for love affairs in order to fully pursue her vocation to improve social conditions for the disadvantaged. From her late teenage years, Weil would generally disguise her "fragile beauty" by adopting a masculine appearance, hardly ever using makeup and often wearing men's clothes.

OP I think you've just described the single worst writer in existence.

woah
who fucking cares
>>Fired a rifle at an airplane in the spanish civil war and wanted to join the machine gun division
she... fired a rifle at an airplane? One time? Why are you rattling off the most mundane stats imaginable?
>>Fan of the bhagavad gita and the upanishads
Wow!
>>She converted to Catholicism and had several mystical revelations
Wow. Crazy stuff. Never been done. She actually CONVERTED to CATHOLICISM? What an incredible, action-packed life she had! Yeah, OP, how can one woman be so based? And HOW can anyone say Women cannot think when one of them actually talked to a communist leader one time, fired a rifle at an airplane on one occasion, read the Bhagavad Gita, and converted to Catholicism! All of that signals a high degree of mental development. Incredible journey. Thank you for sharing this!

Logic is an incomplete religion my friend. Don't use your abstractions to denounce religions that have transcendent truths.

The only thing that this quote demonstrates is that in the early 20th century it was necessary to abandon the feminine appearances imposed by the status quo in order to be taken seriously as an intellectual.

Calling a woman schizo is no way of refuting high spiritual and cognitive development

Big fucking deal. I was raised a Hindu, and only stupid white hippies and shitshins like that shit. Worthless trash philosophy, ‘It’s your duty to kill your friends and relatives, because I said so, and that’s destiny and shit, bro.’

Nobody took her seriously as an intellectual neither back then nor now. She's just a slightly extravagant political activist with a good amount of general erudition. Basically Jackie Kennedy for leftoids. Truly the worst Simone.
