| | Why aren't there any female philosophers?
Because the philosophical discourse is organized in a manner that marginalizes, suppresses, and silences women, children, animals, and slaves. This is the structure -- it would be stupid to deny it, and consequently there have been no great women philosophers. There have been great women thinkers, but philosophers. There have been great women thinkers, but philosophy is one very particular mode of thinking among other modes of thinking. But we're in a historical phase when things like this are changing.
~ Jacques Derrida in an interview with LA Weekly, dated November 8-14, 2002.
