Sometimes I think about how the most famous ancient philosophers are men, not because of intellectual superiority but because the majority of women were not educated or even literate. Does anyone else mourn those women too? I want to know their ideas. 💔

YES I THINK ALL THE TIME ABOUT HOW ARISTOTLE WAS EDUCATED ALONGSIDE FEMALE PEERS UNDER PLATO AND THEN REFUSED TO EDUCATE WOMEN HIMSELF AND HAD A PHILSOPHY THAT WOMEN WERE HALF FORMED MEN INSTEAD OF FULL PEOPLE AND SHOULDNT HAVE RIGHTS AND YET EVERYONE LOVES ARISTOTLE

I think it would be cool for people to see them! I know they exist. It’s just sad knowing how few of them there were (or at least that were documented) in antiquity.

People always cherry pick and ignore the heinous arguments these men made. It’s makes me sick.
