To be fair, everything in this course is relegated to one week of the year.
Well yes, but Marxism = male-dominated, Utilitarianism = male-dominated, etc.etc. Whereas I bet ALL female philosophy has been lumped under "feminism". Well, unless MUCH has changed since my degree, anyway.
I've always called myself a feminist, but I at least one person who doesn't think I am because my views and hers are quite different.
But a lot of women these days think it's somehow BACKWARDS to call yourself a feminist at all. I agree that there's as many versions of femism as there are women, but it makes me sad that a lot of women deny that we even need feminism
