That's my core problem with her approach: she seems to takes for granted that having limited formal reasoning skills is a defining feature of being female, and therefore must be promoted by feminism.
It is to my understanding of feminism what Stephen Colbert is to Republicanism.
- j2kun 13y ago> having limited formal reasoning skills is a defining feature of being female Where does she say this, even implicitly? Questioning the axioms of logical theories is just as much practiced by men, and has a large historical precedent.
- aeorgnoieang 13y agoIf questioning the axioms of logical theories is practiced by men, does that mean that those men are necessarily 'feminist'? Does the fact (or not) that para-consistent logics were first discovered and studied by men exclude them from being a candidate for 'feminist' logic? Would you answer differently depending on the politics of the mathematicians? Can you understand why this seems ridiculous?
